Jammu: Chairman of The Reconciliation, Return and Rehabilitation of Migrant Kashmiri Pandits (RRRM) on Saturday hailed the statement of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi about ensuring the desired help for Kashmiri Pandits.
“We, the KP community, appreciate Rahul’s concerns about his own community brethren,’’ Mahaldar said, adding that Rahul is a Kashmiri Pandit being grandson of Indira Gandhi, whom the community admired and wholeheartedly always voted for in Kashmir. His reinforcing his KP identity has given a new energy to the beleaguered community, he said, adding Rahul is KP community’s leader.
He has promised the KP community, which is his own, to help them. We hope that he takes up his own community’s cause and helps in getting justice which has been eluding KPs for the past three decades.
While asserting his KP identity, the whole community is now looking up to him to address our issues, help us in our dignified return to the valley and help get justice.
It is pertinent to mention here that all the welfare schemes that the refugee KP community today have had been initiated and set up during the UPA rule at the Centre. In fact Manmohan Singh is the only Prime Minister who visited migrant camps in Jammu.
Last month he prayed at Mata Kheer Bhawani Temple in Kashmir which has been well received by the community.
“We hope and pray that the bond that existed between the KP community, the Congress and the Nehru-Gandhi family will continue. The early nineties was a very bad phase for the community, J&K and the country. KP’s have suffered greatly and we hope that Rahul Gandhi as the leader of the community takes the cause of the KP’s and the Kashmiris overall to help bring peace and harmony in the valley.,’’ Mahaldar said.
