Kashmiri Pandits Protest on Exodus Anniversary, Demand Separate UT and Genocide Victim Status
Thousands of displaced Kashmiri Pandits staged a late-night protest in Jammu's Jagti area on the 36th anniversary of their exodus, blocking the Jammu-Srinagar national highway for hours. Protesters demanded a separate Union Territory within the Kashmir Valley, the introduction of an 'Anti-Genocide Bill' in Parliament, and official recognition as "genocide victims." They expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of concrete solutions for their rehabilitation, security, and political rights despite over three decades. The highway was eventually cleared after negotiations with authorities, though the community's discontent remains. One protester was injured during the demonstration.
