JAMMU, Feb 5: Youth 4 Panun Kashmir (Y4PK) and Panun Kashmir (PK) today categorically reject and condemn Mirwaiz Umar Farooq’s deceitful outreach regarding the return of Kashmiri Pandits (KPs).
In a statement issued, Rahul Kaul, Chairman, Apex Committee, Y4PK said, “This is nothing but a desperate attempt to whitewash the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus and manipulate public perception while the radical separatist ideology that led to our exodus remains intact. We have witnessed similar reconciliation attempts in the past, including the one led by Altaf Bukhari, which was overwhelmingly rejected by the KP community.”
“This is a repeat of the same deceitful strategy we saw with Altaf Bukhari. The KP community saw through that fraud and rejected it outright. Today, Mirwaiz and his separatist ecosystem are using the same tactics to create an illusion of reconciliation while refusing to acknowledge their role in our ethnic cleansing. We reject this falsehood with absolute contempt.”
Vithal Chowdhary, President, Y4PK, added, “These so-called ‘outreach’ efforts are nothing but staged propaganda to whitewash the crimes committed against KPs. Just as we rejected Altaf Bukhari’s politically motivated initiative, we reject this attempt by Mirwaiz.”
Ashwani Bhat, Senior Member, PK, stated, “If Mirwaiz is truly sincere, let him first acknowledge and apologize for the genocide of KPs. Let him declare that those who killed, raped and drove out Hindus were wrong. Until then, his words mean nothing.”
Both the organisations also issued a final warning and said, “We will not allow the whitewashing of our genocide, nor will we tolerate betrayal from within. The community has rejected such fraudulent efforts in the past and will continue to do so. The only acceptable path forward is Panun Kashmir.”
