Moderate Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq today appealed to Kashmiri Pandits not to look towards the government but trust the majority community for their return and rehabilitation in the Valley.
"On behalf of Kashmiri Muslims, I make an ardent appeal to the Kashmiri Pandit community not to look towards the government but towards Kashmiri Muslims in welcoming them back to their homes, to their rightful places," he told a Friday congregation here.
He said Kashmiri Pandits should look at their fellow members who either stayed back or returned to the Valley and seek their advise on the issue.
"Kashmiri Pandits should understand that successive governments at the Centre have exploited their sufferings for furthering their own agendas, as is clear from the security-centric and communal thinking approach of the RSS and BJP that is at play right now," he claimed.
