Kashmiri Pandits group rejects Mehbooba’s return plan

New Delhi, June 3 (UNI) A day after former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti called for an inclusive and gradual plan for the respectful return and rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits, a group from the community rejected the proposal calling it a distraction meant to shift focus away from the genocide, forced exodus, and ongoing injustice faced by Kashmiri Pandits.

On Monday, Mehbooba had held her first interaction in five years with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, with the Pandits’ return on top of her agenda. In her meeting with LG, she demanded that two Assembly seats should be reserved for Pandits, and every Pandit family should get half a kanal of free government land.
