Kashmiri Pandits planning to
send delegation to Pakistan

Close on the heels of the Hurriyat Conference decision to send a team to Pakistan, Panun Kashmir, an apex organisation representing Kashmir Pandits, on Friday said it was seriously considering sending its own team to that country.

"Panun Kashmir is considering sending a Kashmiri Pandit delegation to Pakistan in order to apprise the people across the border of gross human rights violations perpetrated on the ethnic minority by the fundamentalists groups based in that country," Panun Kashmir spokesman Yuvraj Raina said in a statement in New Delhi.

Flaying the choice of Hurriyat Conference's delegation for Pakistan, Raina termed the move was only a 'fanciful flight into political romanticism'.

Expressing serious concern over the choice of the delegation, he said, "The announcement of the team has belied the claim of Hurriyat that it is the true representative of the Kashmiri people."

"The Hurriyat, which claims to represent all Kashmiris, should have invited a credible Kashmiri Pandit leader to be part of the delegation as a gesture of their sincerity and concern for the future of one million displaced people," Raina said.

"The whole exercise therefore, smacks of duplicity and insincerity to hoodwink Kashmiri people seeking for long an end to the vexed problem," Raina said.
