Jammu, 02 August (H.S.): The Youth All India Kashmiri Samaj (YAIKS) staged a massive protest demonstration here, today demanding formulation and implementation of a comprehensive rehabilitation policy for displaced Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley.

The protestors strongly condemned the cowardly terror attack in Kulgam that claimed the lives of two innocent labourers and made it clear that terror can never defeat Kashmiri Pandits determination to return to their motherland.

Led by YAIKS president, R K Bhat, the protestors urged the Government not to delay return and rehabilitation of Pandits as 15,000 community youth are ready to serve in the Valley and Government should immediately announce a new employment package for them.

Carrying placards and flags, wearing the yellow headbands, and raising slogans in support of their demands, hundreds of protesters including men, women, senior citizens, and youth assembled outside the Press Club here. The core group members of YAIKS including Sanjay Ganjoo, Manoj Handoo, Sanjay Raina, Naresh Raina, Sunil Dhar, Ravi Ji, Tej Krishan Tickoo, Kamal Tak, Ajay Pandita, Shakuntla Bhat, Rohi Nazar, Lovely Bhan, Poonam Sharma, Suman Lata, Jimmy Bazaz, Sandeep Talashi and others also participated in the protest.
