ambasting the Government of India's eagerness to concede all the demands, be it granting of Autonomy, dilution of AFSPA, withdrawal of Security forces, job bonanza for stone pelters and Ex-militants, Panun Kashmir has said that it clearly demonstrates that the government of the present day has abandoned Kashmiri Pandits, People of Jammu and Ladakh. Addressing the rally organized here on Wednesday- Dr. Agnishekhar deplored the GOI's attitude of only recognizing and nurturing the muslim sphere of interest in J&K state; thereby endangering the integrity and secular polity of India. He said that the political class of this nation is encouraging pseudo-secularists, champions of civil liberties, biased Human Rights activists, and people of sub-nationalistic tendencies to force second partition on this nation. He said that his party rejects the PM's offer of granting of Autonomy to the J&K state, adding that Kashmiri Pandits being the prime stakeholders and sufferers of continuous genocide, exclusion demand establishment of Separate Homeland for over seven Lakh Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir Valley with Union Territory status, who are presently living in exile in Jammu and elsewhere.

He released the calendar for a series of protest demonstrations by Kashmiri Pandits nationally to create awareness among the people of India regarding dangers emanating from the granting of autonomy to J&K which will endanger the integrity and sovereignty of the nation and to garner support for quadrification of J&K state fulfilling the geo-political aspirations of all sections of the state who have been victims of discrimination and neglect and apathy since 1947 at the hands of Kashmiri Muslim polity. He informed that the protest rallies will be held at Chandigarh, Panchukala, Palampur, Delhi, Faridabad, Noida, Jaipur, Bhopal, Indore, Ahmedabad, Vadodra, and Mumbai will raise their demand in strong voice for creation of Homeland in Kashmir Valley with Union Territory for over seven Lakh Kashmir Pandits; statehood for Jammu and creation of U.T for Ladakh and will culminate on 14 september on martyrs day at jammu.
