Pandits to join hands in hoisting Tricolour in J&K on Republic Day

Kashmiri pandits have extended support to BJP for hoisting the Tricolour at Lal Chowk on Republic Day.

Kashmiri pandit groups held a meeting under the banner of Joint Forum of Kashmiri Pandits in Jammu, unanimously rejecting an appeal from the interlocutors to reconsider their plan.

They also called for action against those opposing the hoisting of the Tricolour.

“The statements issued by the interlocutors cause pain and anguish among the victims of secessionism and terrorism. We fully support the programme of hoisting the national flag at Lal Chowk in Srinagar on January 26. Those who oppose the hoisting in Kashmir should be booked under law of the land,” All State Kashmiri Pandit Conference general secretary HL Chatta said.

The interlocutors on Wednesday had urged the BJP to reconsider its plan of hoisting the Tricolour.
