Panun Kashmir, an organization of Kashmiri Pandits, has accused the Indian government of failing to curb terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. In a statement, the organization’s chairman Ajay Chrungoo said, “We state it unambiguously that the Government of India has failed to defeat terrorism because it has relentlessly pursued a conscious policy of not recognizing the religious nature of the war unleashed in Jammu and Kashmir.”
Chrungoo referred to the recent twin terror attacks in Dhangri village in Rajouri on January 1-2, in which seven people were killed. He alleged that there is a “vicious policy of trivialization of terror threat in Jammu and Kashmir,” as quoted by news agency PTI.
The organization also appealed to the Indian government to recognize that minorities are the primary targets of terrorist violence in both Kashmir and Jammu. They also demanded that Kashmiri Pandit employees posted in the Kashmir Valley be relocated to Jammu due to the threat from terrorists.
As assembly and parliamentary elections draw closer, Chrungoo warned that the vulnerability of soft targets in Jammu and Kashmir will increase immensely. He urged the government to take immediate action to address the issue.
