Independent MLA from Langate Sheikh Abdul Rashid today criticised the protests carried out by Kashmiri Pandits over the issue of their exodus from the Kashmir Valley 26 years ago.
Rashid accused Kashmiri Pandits of "defaming majority community" and "working against interests of their own state".
He said that time had come to tell Kashmiri Pandits "loud and clear" that their "shameful campaign" was unacceptable.
He said if the Kashmiri Pandits are entitled for huge packages, jobs and all other facilities, why should not internally displaced Muslims and those forced to migrate to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir be treated at par with Pandits.
Rashid also questioned the claims of Kashmiri Pandits about genocide of the community.
Yesterday, Kashmiri Pandits observed the 26th anniversary of exodus from their homes in the Valley.
