The Modi government on Wednesday informed Rajya Sabha that only six Kashmiri Pandits were killed in Jammu Kashmir since 2020.
The number of Kashmiri Pandits killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir during the years 2020, 2021, and 2022, are 1, 4, and 1 respectively, MoS Home Nityanand Rai said in Rajya Sabha.
Last week, the government informed Rajya Sabha that not a single Kashmiri Pandit left the Kashmir valley ever since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019.
Nityanand Rai also said that as many as 118 civilians, including five Kashmiri Pandits and 16 other Hindus and Sikhs, were killed in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370.
No Kashmiri Pandit has reportedly migrated from the valley since August 2019, he said in a written reply to a question.
Rai said 5,502 Kashmiri Pandits have been provided government jobs in different departments of the government of Jammu Kashmir in the valley.
