“It is a welcome move to provide employment to over 1,700 Kashmiri Pandit youth in different parts of the Valley,” he said.

Since the Central government has made up its mind for a political solution to Kashmir problem,the KP’s would like to know whether the community forms the part of the solution and if it does what are the contours and parameters of that solution,he said.

“We want to make it absolutely clear that we have to go back to our homes and it is for the government to make it possible”,Takoo,who was accompanied by representatives of different religious trusts of Kashmir Valley,said.

However,the minority leader regretted that the state government has so far failed to take decisive action regarding protection and preservation of Hindu shrines and other religious places in Kashmir.
