"BJP is punishing Kashmiri Pandits for their lineage to Jawaharlal Nehru and using them as baits, scapegoats to realise the so-called Kashmir dream without understanding the ground realities of Kashmir," said President of Citizens for Peace and Harmony (CFPH), King Bharati.

He said that it seems that BJP leadership was "hell-bent" upon "sacrificing" Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir as they feel Nehru had "ditched" India at a crucial moment and "punishing" Kashmiri Pandits at this time would be "satisfying" for the party.
"Kashmiri Pandits are threatened on daily basis by posters and threat letters," he claimed.
