Kashmiri Pandits, under the aegis of Kashmiri Samiti and Panun Kashmir, held demonstration at Jantar Mantar and observed the day as "Holocaust Day" to mark the completion of 19 years in exile. They urged the government to reorganise Jammu and Kashmir and “bring it under the Constitution of India.”
"We want our homeland in Kashmir and also the Government of India should reorganise Jammu and Kashmir and bring it under the Constitution of India and declare it a Union Territory," said Shakti Bhan, vice chairperson of Panun Kashmir was quoted as saying by PTI.
The demonstration marking the occasion as “Holocaust Day,’ saw speakers from Kashmiri Pandit organisations recount their nights of horror and demanded to know what steps the government had taken when terrorism has acquired huge proportions in other parts of India as well.
Later, activists from the community met MoS Home Affairs, Sriprakash Jaiwal, and handed over a memorandum of demands.
