The Kashmiri Pandit Sangarash Samiti (KPSS) wrote a letter to the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir regarding the security of non-migrant Kashmiri Pandits and Hindus living in the Kashmir Valley. KPSS has submitted communications over the past year requesting a meeting about this issue, but their requests have been ignored. Over the past 10 days, intelligence reports indicate prominent Kashmiri Pandit/Hindu businessmen will be targeted, and one was killed on October 5th. KPSS warns that if another Pandit/Hindu is killed due to administrative and security failures, they will file a petition with the International Human Rights Commission and launch a signature campaign against the administration for neglect

To
The His Excellency the Lt. Governor,
UT of Jammu and Kashmir,
Raj Bhawan, Srinagar
Subject: Security of Non-Migrant Kashmiri Pandits / Hindus living in
Kashmir Valley.
Esteemed Sir,
With reference to the subject cited above, it is most humbly
submitted as under:
That from last more than one year, KPSS has submitted a number
of communications on e-mail for an appointment with respect to the issues
related to the Non-Migrant Kashmiri Pandits living in Kashmir Valley including
the security of the left out Community living in Kashmir Valley. But in utter
dismay, your Excellency chose to ignore all our requests which resulted in all
these Kashmiri Pandit / Hindus killings in Kashmir Valley. It seems that the
Central and UT Government policy towards Non-Migrant Kashmiri Pandits /
Hindus living in Kashmir Valley has changed and since the abrogation of Article
370 and it has now stooped down on shroud politics to justify your governments
stand on the issues related to the UT of Jammu and Kashmir in general and
Kashmir Valley in particular.
That from last more than ten days there is an input that the
businessmen and prominent faces from Non-Migrant Kashmiri Pandits /
Hindus living in Kashmir Valley will be eliminated from Kashmir Valley and
concerned agencies are in deep slumber and reason to which one more killing of
the leading businessman was executed today i.e. 05.10.2021 by some
unidentified gunmen associated to some militant outfit/s.
That the callous approach shown by your goodself’s office and the
security agencies working in Kashmir Valley have raised questions regarding the

intentions of the present government about the security of the Non-Migrant
Kashmiri Pandits / Hindus living in Kashmir Valley.
That on one hand our requests for appointment to discuss these
issues are put in the dustbin and on the other hand, your Excellency’s office
and the security agencies fail to protect the life and property of the minorities
living in Kashmir Valley clearly shows collapse and lack of coordination on part
of the administration.
As such, it is requested that the issue be dealt on merits
rather than issuing condolence letters and press releases and KPSS warn
that if one more Kashmiri Pandit / Hindu living in Kashmir Valley
becomes a victim of terrorism and inefficiency of administration and
security agencies, we will file a petition before International Human Rights
Commission with a signature campaign against the administration for
neglecting security and other survival issues of the Non-Migrant Kashmiri
Pandits / Hindus living in Kashmir Valley.
Yours faithfully

Migrant Kashmiri Pandits / Hindus living in Kashmir Valley before any
other unforeseen incident happens.
