Migration of Kashmiri Pandits was a blot on us : Mehbooba Mufti

The PDP-BJP coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir is committed to the rehabilitation of migrant Kashmiri Pandits and is in the process of setting up transit accommodation for migrant Kashmiri Pandits.
“We have already started building transit accommodations for Kashmiri Pandits. Now, we are trying to add more accommodation to those places,” J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti said while discussing the strife prevalent in the state, during an event in Goa.
Kashmiri Pandits migrated enmasse from Kashmir after militancy erupted in 1989 and many Kashmiri Pandit families are living in Jammu, Delhi and other parts of the country.
“It was a blot on us because we could not protect this miniscule minority that was in the valley. We should have been able to save them,” the chief minister said, while adding that the government would do all it could to get the Pandits back.
“I have met many of the Kashmiri Pandits and they feel more comfortable in the places where they have already been living in the last 5-10 years,” Mufti said.
The PDP-BJP government is trying to rehabilitate Kashmiri Pandits along with those pandits who chose to stay back in the late 1980s.
As part of the rehabilitation, the Kashmiri Pandits are provided jobs and accommodation in the valley.
