Panun Kashmir rejects Mirwaiz’s reconciliation claims

Jammu, Feb 08: Panun Kashmir has denounced the recent remarks by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, dismissing his calls for reconciliation as hollow and misleading.
In a statement issued, General Secretary Kuldeep Raina and Organizing Secretary B. L. Kaul said the organization asserted that reconciliation cannot come at the cost of erasing history and that justice must precede any discussion on coexistence.
Panun Kashmir emphasized that the forced displacement of Kashmiri Hindus in 1990 was not an isolated event but part of a long history of persecution aimed at their systematic erasure.
The organization stated that any meaningful reconciliation must begin with the formal acknowledgment of the genocide, followed by concrete steps toward justice, rehabilitation, and accountability.
Rejecting Mirwaiz’s claims of offering reconciliation, Panun Kashmir made it clear that there can be no return to the failed model of forced coexistence, which has only resulted in repeated genocidal attacks on Kashmiri Hindus.
The statement reaffirmed that the only viable solution is the creation of a separate homeland within Kashmir, where Kashmiri Hindus can live with full constitutional rights, security, and dignity. It categorically stated that this demand is non-negotiable and that no superficial gestures or politically motivated narratives will alter the fundamental reality that justice must be delivered.
The organization called upon the Indian government to recognize the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus and take decisive steps to ensure that their rightful place i.e carving out homeland for Kashmiri Hindus. It emphasized that without truth, justice, and accountability, reconciliation is meaningless and that the struggle for a separate homeland will continue until justice is served.
