Kashmiri Pandit group dismisses Hurriyat chief’s ‘meaningless’ reconciliatory efforts

JAMMU: Days after Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq met members of the displaced Kashmiri Pandits to discuss their return to the valley, Panun Kashmir – a prominent group representing the community – on Saturday dismissed the reconciliatory efforts as “meaningless”.

The group said the struggle for a separate homeland within Kashmir where Kashmiri Hindus live with dignity will continue till “justice is served”.

Mirwaiz, who is also a prominent cleric in the Kashmir Valley, recently met members of a Kashmiri Pandit group, J&K Peace Forum, in Delhi as part of renewed push to resettle the community which is living in exile in different parts of the country over the past three decades, following the eruption of militancy in the 1980s.
