Jammu, Feb 18: Panun Kashmir today addressed a press conference, firmly stating that the support structures of terrorism and separatism in Jammu and Kashmir cannot be dismantled unless the Government of India reassesses its policy, which they argue has, over time, trivialized, secularized, and normalized these threats. In a statement issued here today, Panun Kashmir spokesman stated while terrorism in the region is supported externally, particularly by Pakistan and other Pan-Islamic groups, the roots of the problem also lie in India’s internal policies, which they describe as ideologically compromised.
“The denial of the genocide of Hindus in Kashmir by the Government of India has been the greatest victory for Pan-Islamic separatism,” a Panun Kashmir spokesperson said. “This refusal to confront the religious ideology driving terrorism has provided a shield for those pushing forward with terrorist activities in the region.”
Panun Kashmir acknowledged the government’s recent steps against some of the support structures within the administration and political parties, but stressed that meaningful change will only come if action is taken against the highest levels of the political class, the bureaucracy, academia, and business circles, all of whom have contributed to perpetuating the separatist agenda.
The group raised several critical issues, including the role of political leaders in facilitating land grabs in Bhatindi, Jammu, and the controversial settlement of Rohingya refugees in the region. They also questioned the continued classification of displaced Kashmiri Hindus as migrants rather than genocide victims, and pointed to the ongoing processes within the Government of India and the UT administration that they believe are consolidating the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus.
Panun Kashmir emphasized that the failure to recognize the genocide of Hindus in Kashmir and hold the perpetrators accountable will allow the Pan-Islamic jihadist agenda to continue unabated. The group also made a compelling argument for the division of Kashmir, describing it as a “national necessity” to counter the ongoing Jihadi threat in the region. They called for the creation of a separate Union Territory dedicated to the permanent rehabilitation of Kashmiri Hindus, which they argued would not only deliver justice to the community but also serve as a decisive step in defeating the Jihadi war currently being waged in Jammu and Kashmir.
The press briefing concluded with Panun Kashmir reiterating that the persistence of terrorist separatism in the region cannot be effectively addressed unless these core issues are confronted head-on, with the Government of India taking a far more proactive stance on both the recognition of the past and the protection of the community moving forward.
