Days after Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq met members of the displaced Kashmiri Pandits to discuss their return to the valley, Panun Kashmir \u2013 a prominent group representing the community \u2013 on Saturday dismissed the reconciliatory efforts as \u201cmeaningless\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group said the struggle for a separate homeland within Kashmir where Kashmiri Hindus live with dignity will continue till \u201cjustice is served\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mirwaiz, who is also a prominent cleric in the Kashmir Valley, recently met members of a Kashmiri Pandit group, J&K Peace Forum, in Delhi as part of renewed push to resettle the community which is living in exile in different parts of the country over the past three decades, following the eruption of militancy in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPanun Kashmir made it clear that there can be no return to the failed model of forced coexistence, which has only resulted in repeated genocidal attacks on Kashmiri Hindus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnly viable solution is the creation of a separate homeland within Kashmir, where Kashmiri Hindus can live with full constitutional rights, security, and dignity. This demand is non-negotiable and that no superficial gestures or politically motivated narratives will alter the fundamental reality that justice must be delivered,\u201d Panun Kashmir said in a statement here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said the \u201cera of appeasement\u201d is over, warning that history cannot be rewritten to suit those who once \u201cjustified or remained complicit in the community\u2019s persecution\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReconciliation cannot be used as a smokescreen to evade responsibility,\u201d it said and called upon the central government to recognise the \u201cgenocide of Kashmiri Hindus and take decisive steps to ensure that their rightful place in their homeland is restored\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group emphasised that without truth, justice, and accountability, reconciliation is meaningless and that the struggle for a \u201cseparate homeland will continue until justice is served\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Panun Kashmir said any meaningful reconciliation must begin with the formal acknowledgment of genocide, followed by concrete steps toward justice, rehabilitation, and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJustice is not a vague concept but a structured process that requires official recognition of the crimes committed, institutional guarantees for safe return, reparation for destroyed lives and properties, and the prosecution of those responsible for orchestrating and enabling genocide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWithout these measures, any talk of reconciliation remains nothing more than an attempt to absolve the perpetrators and silence the victims,\u201d the statement said. (PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
