Kashmiri Pandit employees, recruited under the Prime Minister’s special package, on Monday asked the J&K Lieutenant Governor’s (L-G) administration “to assure in writing that no Pandit will be killed in the future so that they could resume their duties”.
Thirty two days have passed, with no Pandit attending his or her office in the Valley after the spree of killings of minority members in May.
“Until the L-G’s government will not give in writing that no minority member will be killed, we will not resume offices. Kashmir is very unsafe and the brute forces are out to kill us for news. For them, we are just numbers. We don’t want to become news. We want our family and children to be secure,” Ajay, a Kashmiri Pandit employee and a member of the All Minority Employees’ Association Kashmir (AMEAK), said.
