Satish Mahaldar, Kashmiri Pandit Activist and president of Jammu Kashmir Peace Forum has written to Police officials to draw their attention to communal flare-ups by sections of Kashmiri Pandits.

“Respected sir, we would like to draw your attention to “ Communal flare-ups by selective Kashmiri pandits trying to disturb communal harmony in Jammu Kashmir. We seek immediate action against such people under the provision of law,” Satish has written in his complaint directed to the ADG of Jammu Kashmir Police, Vijay Kumar.

He said the communal messages had been circulated in over 200 Whatapps groups and Facebook pages.

A copy of the message was accessed by The Kashmiriyat circulated in the name of Kundan Kashmiri, Community Sevak & President KPC. The message asked people to not return to the Kashmir valley and fall into the “malicious trap-and false arguments” of the “Wapsi Gang” and Hurriyat Lovers.

“The Wapis– Bhaichara gang and Hurriyat lovers of our community have again started to play mischief after hobnobbing with some others to take victim displaced Kashmiri Pandits back to our own previous locations, villages and to force us to resettle with Muslim milieu, in clusters at the mercy of those who looted us, rapped our community daughters, burnt out Property, forcibly taken and encroached our land, orchards, and houses. Raised dirty slogans like “Bataw Bagar Batnav Saan” and others,” the message read.

Kundan Kashmiri also alleged, that “they want to take us back to them, who youth’s on day to day basis joining militancy, then killing KP’s in broad daylight, like what has been done with Victim Rahul Bhat PM package employee in Budgam office, late Ajay Pandit, late Rakesh Ji.& others.”

“They want to take us back to those who snatched our every right and always gagged our voice,” the message further read.

Now for this purpose, these Muslim lovers have been pursuing the government with their ill and malicious mind to allot funds for the reconstruction of our houses in villages, or other places near our villages, and towns and claiming to have got 2.5 percent funds allocations of the total annual budget of Jammu Kashmir from the government for the said purpose. They must understand that they can not befool the community people again and again and our community people know what is in their interest and what is not, read the message.

“As our return is not an ordinary issue as some people or a wapsi gang group will tell us to move back like commodities but it is a most sensitive issue which needs to be dealt with very sensitivity it not only returns, but it is also the rehabilitation of our future generation and progeny to come, who should not be again forced to leave, or killed or looted and should settle as powerful and stong citizen of India nation,” read the message.

Satish Mahaldar speaking to The Kashmiriyat said that many such black sheep need to be exposed and shall not be given any space in the public domain. He said, “Such people ruined the life of ordinary Kashmiris.”
