Bharatiya Janata Party today exuded confidence that displaced Kashmiri Pandits would soon return with dignity and honour to the Valley, stating that the situation is taking a big turnaround due to relentless efforts of the government and pro-active support of the people.
Pradesh President Mr Ravinder Raina, while speaking at a Navreh Milan function, held at the migrant township of Jagti, in the Jammu peripheries this evening, organized by BJP leader Mr Anil Dhar, said that the visionary government, led by Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi, has taking several path breaking initiatives to restore peace and normalcy, prerequisite for mutual co-existence and faster development of Jammu and Kashmir.
Referring to the safeguard of shrines and temples across the Valley, Mr Raina vehemently supported the Kashmiri Hindu Shrines and Temples Bill, saying this will assuage the aspirations of the Pandit community.
The Pradesh President lauded the contribution of Kashmiri Pandits, especially in the field of academics, saying they are continuing to be cultural ambassadors from Kashmir in their temporary settlements across the country and even abroad.
Mr Ravinder Raina said that the Valley is traversing to an era of peace for the last two years in particular with stone pelting and hartals becoming the malady of the past. This appears to be uncomfortable for peace inimical elements unleashed by the neighbouring country, who, in a fit of frustration, have now resorted to selective attacks on the soft targets, which is an affront and challenge to peace loving majority in Kashmir, he said, adding, “I join them in condemning the inhuman and barbaric attacks on innocent civilians, including non-locals and a Kashmiri Pandit shopkeeper”. Mr Raina greeted the people on Navreh and wished them well being and prosperity.
