Ghettoisation of Kashmiri Pandits Under the Garb of “Safe Zones”

The creation of these so called ‘safe zones’ will only encourage communal agents, writes Daanish Bin Nabi.

There is hardcore politics involved in rehabilitating the Pandits in Kashmir. Both the mainstream political parties as well as the players who don’t want the Kashmir issue to be resolved owing to their vested interests, have played their own petty politics in rehabilitating the Pandits.

Majority of Pandit groups and families, who have not fallen prey to petty politics of groups like “Panun Kashmir”, have acknowledged the fact that the mainstream political parties only remember Pandit’s flight at the time of elections to lure the community to vote. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is the latest entrant in this category.
