JAMMU: A Kashmiri Hindu group has appealed to the United Nations to “save the community” which, it said, had been uprooted for its homeland.
The appeal by the ‘Kashmiri Hindu Samiti’ to the U.N. circulated to the press here, said the plight of the Kashmiri Hindu was “pitiful” and demanded that the community’s right to security, life and property be safeguarded.
The Samiti said the chances of Kashmiri Hindus returning to Kashmir were small and charged New Delhi with turning a blind eye to their plight while, going out of its way to woo Kashmiri militants, fighting for secession from India.
Samiti president Ramesh Monga welcomed the statement of senator Stephen Solarz, the chairman of the U.S. house sub-committee on Asia and Pacific who Said the main victims Jammu and Kashmir were Kashmiri pandits.
