Dear Rashneek
 
I have been a strong and outspoken votary of the return of Kashmiri Pandits to their homeland Kashmir; to live as a minority and at peace with everyone else in Kashmir.  
 
Such reports makes me wonder.

*Open Letter / Press Release*



*(It is not right time of return of Migrant Kashmiri Pandits*

*But it is ripe time for the left out Kashmiri Pandits living in the Valley
*

*to choose migration with dignity)*

* *



                        Kashmiri Pandit Sangarsh Samiti (KPSS) is working
for the last more than 3 years to create a space for reconciliation between
Majority Community and Minorities in the Valley and initiated the
celebration of religious functions in public to play a role to bring back
the co-existence environment in the Valley.



                        From the last 2 years KPSS is also taking steps for
the preservation of the religious places of the minorities and bring back
them to their glory. And to make it a mark of success organized its maiden
Seminar – cum – Temple Photo Exhibition on 31st March, 2009.



                        *On 15th of November, 2009 two of our members went
to Bhairav Ghat, Chattabal, Srinagar to take some pictures of the temple
ruins so that its fate could be settled with the concerned authorities. But
the members of the Majority Community who had encroached the temple land
abstained them from taking pictures and used un-parliamentary language
against the Kashmiri Pandits and the religious places. The started the
slogans like “Jis tarah humne tumhare mandiroon ko Jalaya hai vaise hi tum
logon ko jalayenge, aur kisi ko pata bi nahi chalega” The way we have burnt
your temples in the same way we will burn you and no one will know about
you. “Yehan sirf Islam Chalega” Only Islam will prevail here. “India ko
lagta hai kit tum logon ko vapas layega, jo bi aaye ga mara jayega, hum log
phir se gun uthayenge” India thinks that they can bring Kashmiri Pandits
back to Valley, who so ever will come will die, we will again raise arms
against you. The mob there even man handled the members of KPSS and they had
to leave the place. Even they could not file an FIR against the mob due to
the life threat given by these hooligans belonging to a particular
community.*



                        *KPSS strongly condemn the act and appeal to the
Separatist leadership to look into the matter and reply back within a
stipulated time that when at one hand they recommend the return of Kashmiri
Pandits to the Valley then why on the other hand their men are thirsty for
KP blood. *



*KPSS requests the State and Central Administration to re-think about their
proposal to bring back the Kashmiri Pandits to the Valley instead they
should be  prepared to register the fresh lot of migrants who will leave the
Valley in the coming days if the situation is not taken care of in due
course of time. *



KPSS also appeals to the International Community to take the matter
seriously and ensure that all necessary steps are taken to safe guard the
Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley.
