Dear Prime Minister,

Hope you are doing well. Through this letter, I would like to draw your kind attention to the plight of the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community from the Kashmir Valley. The recent spate of targeted killings of Kashmiri Pandits and others by terrorists has created an atmosphere of fear and gloom in the Valley.

Prime Minister, a delegation of Kashmiri Pandits met me at the Jammu leg of the ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra to unite the whole of India in the thread of love and unity. He informed that the government officials are forcing him to go back to work in the Kashmir Valley.

In these circumstances, forcing them to go to work in the valley without any surety of safety and security is a cruel move. Till the situation improves and becomes normal, the government can take services from these Kashmiri Pandit employees in other administrative and public works.

When the Kashmiri Pandits, pleading for their safety and family's concerns, are expecting sympathy and affection from the government today, it is irresponsible for the Lieutenant Governor (Manoj Sinha) to use words like 'beggars' for them. Prime Minister, you may not be familiar with this insensitive style of local administration.

I have assured the Kashmiri Pandit brothers and sisters that I will try my best to convey their concerns and demands to you. I hope that you will take appropriate steps in this regard as soon as you get this information.

May the blessings of Mata Kheer Bhavani be with you.
