We have to recognise our duty for PitraRinn(Debt of Ancestors) and start a campaign so that Hindu genocide is recognised in history text books in India.”
Aarti Tiku Singh,a journalist said,” It is due to the efforts of the Kashmiri Pandits that masses were sensitised all over India and abroad about the pitfalls of Article 370 and 35A and the central government was prompted to take decisive step. Abrogation of these articles is the first step towards resettlement of Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir.”
Advocate Ankur Sharma, President, Ekam Sanatan Bharat Dal, said,” Governance in Jammu and Kashmir has been reduced to conflict management. Though Article 370 and 35 A have been neutralised but the administrative and governance mechanism based on it still functioning with impunity. Abrogation of these articles will bear fruit only when political reorganisation is made complete. That is the creation of the Homeland of Panun Kashmir for Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir with UT status and separate Jammu state.”
