KP organisation demands end to ‘transient benefits’ granted to community

Srinagar, Dec 20: An organisation of Kashmiri Pandits known as the JK Peace Forum said on Wednesday that since “harmony and peace has been restored in J&K”, it is time the government stops all transient benefits to the community as “migrants.”

Satish Mahaldar, president of the JK Peace Forum said in a statement, “Government should end migration with prompt impact and stop all transient benefits right away since breach of peace had resulted in the birth of migrants and now peace and harmony has been restored.”

Mahaldar greeted Kashmiri Pandits and other people of the country because the honour of the local Pandit community had been restored by the country’s Parliament that reserved two seats for the community in the J&K Legislative Assembly as “Migrant Kashmiri Pandits.”
