All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi has also reacted by saying that Kashmiri Pandits are not safe. He said, "The BJP Appointed Lt.Governor and Administration by PM Modi are unsuccessful. Kashmiri Pandits are unsafe. Article 370 was removed by telling them that they would be safe. This must be answered by the Prime minister, the Home Minister, and the BJP. All Kashmiri Pandits are living in fear."
