Set up commission to investigate exodus of KPs: Panun Kashmir

Demanding setting up of a 'commission of inquiry' to investigate the reasons that led to their exodus from Kashmir, an organization of Kashmiri Pandits today said that the situation in the Valley was not conducive for their return.
"A commission of inquiry must be constituted to investigate the reason behind our forced exodus from Kashmir Valley. We were expelled from our native places as genocide was instigated against the community," Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, President Panun Kashmir said.
While welcoming the move of the central government to set up of a composite township for the community he said that the decision was a unilateral decision that was taken without consulting the community members.

"The decision is in lines of our demand for a separate homeland, but this decision is a unilateral decision, that was taken without taking the community members onboard. We maintain that the solution of this problem is a separate homeland for the community within the Valley with all the administrative control with the community," he said.
"See we appreciate that Prime Minister Modi has taken some decision for the community but the solution lies in a separate homeland and not just a township," he said.
Chrungoo said that the opposition of the separatists has exposed them.
"The separatists now stand exposed and they have proven it themselves that they don't want the return and rehabilitation of the displaced community," he said.

He also flayed Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed for taking a "U turn" on the issue of setting up of a township for the community in the Valley.
