New Delhi, Oct 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Global Kashmiri Pandit Diaspora (GKPD) has condemned the dastardly assassination of Makhan Lal Bindroo, a Kashmiri Pandit, by Islamist terrorists.
Bindroo was shot dead by militants on Tuesday at his shop, Bindroo Medicate, in Srinagar.
The GKPD convened a condolence meeting of community members to mourn the tragic loss of Bindroo.
Ramesh Raina, K.N. Pandita, Krishen Kemmu, R.K. Mattoo, Ashok Kaul, Ashok Bhan and participants from 20 countries, including the US, the UK, Australia, Denmark and the UAE, were among those who attended the meeting.
"There was unanimous support that the government of India and the Union Territory of J&K be put on notice that no stone should be left unturned to arrest and execute as per the law the killers of Pandit Bindroo and provide solace to his family and Kashmiri Pandits worldwide. Among other initiatives, GKPD will file an update with the National Human Rights Commission where it has filed a review of the community's case for genocide and demand action," a statement said.
GKPD International coordinator Virinder Kaul stated, "Our families are intertwined with the Bindroo family, and our hearts are filled with sorrow. Brave warrior Pandit Makhan Lal Bindroo did his dharma till the end. He will be missed greatly."
Utpal Kaul, GKPD International coordinator, concluded, "Sadly, the state failed Pandit Bindroo in not providing him safety and security as a member of the Pandit community which has experienced continuous genocide in the Valley. The continuing spate of murders of Kashmiri Pandits points to the abject dereliction on the part of the government of India for over the last 30 years to provide a solution, which gives justice, security and rehabilitation to the Kashmiri pandits."
Two more minority killings in Kashmir occurred on Thursday as two teachers -- Deepak Chand Mehra and Supinder Kour -- were brutally murdered inside a school premises in Srinagar.
"It is amply clear to us that the targeted killings of minorities in Kashmir continue to remain unabated. We strongly urge the government of India to take immediate measures to stop this massacre of innocents in the Valley," the GKPD said.
