Kashmiri Pandits on Sunday staged a protest here demanding that the state and Centre take the community members into confidence before finalising any decision on their return to the Valley.
They also pressed for setting up a commission to probe the “genocide” which led to their exodus.

Members of the community, who converged in large numbers on Jantar Mantar here, demanded that the Jammu and Kashmir Government reopen prosecution cases against all those involved in the killing of Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley following the outbreak of militancy. Many of the protesters, wearing black T-shirts and bands, shouted slogans against the Hurriyat Conference and separatist leaders and sought their arrest.
They also carried placards demanding that Article 370 of the Constitution, which gives special status to J&K, be struck down.
