Angry at BJP, Kashmiri Pandit women welcome Rahul Gandhi with flowers in Jammu

 In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Kashmiri Pandit women took to the streets in Jammu city to welcome congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, who is currently carrying out the march ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ against the divisive policies of the Narendra Modi-led Indian government.

The Kashmiri Pandits took to the streets with flowers to welcome the Congress leader in Jammu where they castigated the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stating that he had done nothing for the community.

“All they do is make false promises. We have come here to welcome Rahul Gandhi purely because we are anguished at how the present dispensation has treated Kashmiri Pandits,” an aged Kashmiri Pandit woman said.

She said that the members of Pandit community had staged a sit-in protest for two years to urge the Indian government to increase the amount of relief package. She pointed out that the Lieutenant Governor of the territory had appealed them to end the sit-in as the relief package has been increased, but that did not happen. She claimed that the Lieutenant Governor was appointed by the BJP to root out the Pandits.

The woman said that the community is suffering at all ends and nobody was paying attention to any of their demands. “They should list one thing, just one that they have done for Kashmiri Pandits,” she asked.

Our children are studying in Government schools since we cannot afford the fees of the private schools, she claimed, adding that the Jagti colony in Jammu, a transit camp for Kashmiri Pandits, was lying in a pathetic state. “It has been three years and our condition is just worsening,” said the Pandit woman.

Meanwhile, the President of People Democratic Party, Mehbooba Mufti, in a tweet castigated to the Modi regime and said that BJP had done nothing for the Kashmiri Pandits.

“The humiliation & pain Kashmiri Pandits are going through under the current government is conveyed well by this woman. It is the real Kashmir Files. The question stands whether BJP will promote this version or not?” Mehbooba Mufti asked.
