Will go for fast-unto-death if grievances not addressed- KPSS

Members of Kashmiri Pandit Sangarash Samiti during a protest demonstration at Srinagar on Sunday.

Kashmiri Pandit Sangarash Samiti (KPSS) here today staged a protest demonstration alleging that concerned authorities are non-serious to their problems.

The protesters said if their grievances are not addressed soon then they within be forced to go for fast-unto-death.

President KPSS, Sanjay K. Tickoo while addressing protesters demanded extension of PM’s job package and apportionment of 500 posts with one job per family criteria for 808 non-migrant Kashmiri Hindu families living in Kashmir valley and claimed that the same has been already approved by Ministry of Home Affairs.

He also demanded accommodation to all deserving non-migrant Kashmiri Hindu families, extension of necessary financial assistance and protection, preservation and restoration of temples and other religious institutions belonging to religious minority in Kashmir valley.

He said that same has been also directed by the J&K High Court.

Tickoo claimed that survival of non-migrant Kashmiri Hindus is now at stake in Kashmir and it can lead to chaos and starvation and even psychology issues may emerge because some persons in the bureaucracy are showing cold shoulders towards the leftover community for the reasons best known to them since July 2018.

He informed that since August 5, 2019 there is a huge vacuum between general public and those bureaucrats who are in decision-making body in J&K UT and left out Kashmiri Hindus are worst sufferers of this vacuum which creates un-necessary hurdles in their survival.
