BJP govt has no plan for Kashmiri Pandits, says Kejriwal as targeted killings continue

Attacking the Centre over the rise in targeted killings in Jammu and Kashmir, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal said the BJP government should lay out its plan on how to stop the atrocities against Kashmiri Pandits.

Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday slammed the Centre over the recent escalation in targeted killings in Jammu and Kashmir, and said the government has no plan for Kashmiri Pandits.

“The BJP government has failed. The era of 1990 has come again. They [government] don't have any plans. Whenever there is a murder in the Valley, news comes that the Home Minister has called a high-level meeting. Enough of these meetings, now we need action,” said Kejriwal at an AAP Jan Akrosh rally in Delhi.

Kejriwal charged that whenever the BJP comes to power, it triggers an exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from Jammu and Kashmir. “In the last 30 years, the BJP was in power twice in Kashmir and both times Kashmiri Pandits had to migrate. We are seeing all over the country how they only do dirty politics,” he said.

After Rahul Bhat was gunned down by terrorists in Budgam, many Kashmiri Pandit government employees took to the streets to demand that they be relocated to safe places. Instead of ensuring their safety, the BJP administration cracked down on the protests, alleged Kejriwal. This has doubled the peoples’ suffering, he added.
