Kashmiri Pandits protest Omar's remark on their exodus

New Delhi: A group of Kashmiri Pandits today held protest here over recent remarks by Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah that the exodus of the community from the Valley took place in 1990

“Jagmohan was appointed by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed (now PDP patron), who was the Home Minister in V P Singh cabinet. V P Singh was heading the government with BJP support...I hope they (BJP leaders) remember this,” Omar said.  

The protesters demanded that an inquiry commission be set up to look into the “incidents and violence” that led to their community's exodus from Kashmir on Jaunary 19, 1990.  

“And, Omar said we had ‘left' Kashmir.

Playing politics, he put the blame on BJP. Don't we know who did it? We condemn his statement,” Panun Kashmir member and a protester, Lalit Ambardar said.
