Kashmiri Pandits Vote in Special Booths, Hope for End of Terrorism

The third and last phase of polling for Anantnag constituency took place in Pulwama and Shopian districts on Monday.

Living miles away from their native place for the past three decades, displaced Kashmiri Pandits on Monday voted with the hope for an end to terrorism and peaceful return to their homeland.

"We want that South Kashmir should be freed from the twin grave threats (terrorism and radicalisation) to the composite culture of Kashmiriyat," 65-year-old Pyara Lal Pandita, who hailed from Pulwama district of the Anantnag Lok Sabha constituency, said after casting vote at a special polling station here.
