Shift Kashmiri Pandits to safer Jammu till situation improves: Ghulam Nabi Azad

Democratic Azad Party Chief and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said that the Kashmiri Pandit employees of the Jammu and Kashmir government should be temporarily shifted to Jammu till the situation improves in Kashmir.
Questioning the safety of the Kashmiri Pandits, he said that life is more important than employment and the government should transfer Kashmiri Pandits to Jammu. “The Government should transfer Kashmiri Pandit employees to Jammu and transfer them back only when the situation improves,” said Azad.
“If our government comes to power, we will transfer the Kashmiri Pandits to Jammu until the situation improves,” he said.
Lt Governor Manoj Sinha had last week said that Kashmiri Pandits serving in the Valley will not be paid their salaries if they do not attend their duties.
