JAMMU, OCTOBER 10: Kashmiri Pandits on Sunday took the streets in Jammu in protest against the targeted killings in the Valley.
Holding the tricolour high, women, youngsters and people of all levels stood with a clear message that they won’t budge no matter what terrorists may try to instigate in the Valley.
“The present situation in Kashmir simply indicates over remigration to what happened back in the 1990s. Minorities are being threatened everywhere. The PM packages are being threatened. There is no security for minorities, non-migrant Kashmiri pandits, non-migrant Kashmiri Sikhs, and they are feeling insecure. Non-migrant pandits and Sikhs are not being provided security,” a youngster participating in the protest said.
A woman hailing from Srinagar said, “My children in Kashmir are threatened. We are becoming sick. We are broken from inside. My Muslim brothers are also feeling insecure here.”
When asked over the steps taken by the Centre over the safety of Kashmiri Pandits, a protestor said, “there have been no steps taken by the government of India. “If govt was knowing about potential signals of attacks by terrorists, why was the government silent for the last two months?” he asked demanding security for Kashmiri Pandits.
“For the last 32 years, every government is experimenting on Kashmiri pandits. We are like testing goats in Kashmir but they did not provide us security,” the protestor said.
