Panun Kashmir, an organisation of migrant Pandits, on Sunday reiterated its demand for the creation of a separate union territory in the Valley for their return and rehabilitation to “safeguard Indian national interests” in the region.

It rejected any policy on rehabilitation which did not recognise the “genocide” inflicted on the community.

The group said in a statement that the creation of a UT of Panun Kashmir had become a geopolitical imperative to safeguard the “Indian national interests” in the region.

It said there was no question of the community returning to their old areas as the “Hindu habitat in Kashmir from which the Hindus were expelled stands destroyed”. — PTI
