Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday expressed concern over the “targeted killings of Hindus and Kashmiri Pandits” in the Kashmir Valley. Kashmiri Pandits were fleeing the Valley, Thackeray, who is also the Shiv Sena chief, said in a statement here.
“Kashmiri Pandits were shown the dream of ‘ghar wapsi’ (resettlement in the valley), but they are being targeted and killed. The exodus of Pandits is shocking. The Chief Minister assured the Pandit community that “Maharashtra” Stands firmly with them.”
In 1995, when the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance came to power in Maharashtra, Sena founder Bal Thackeray ensured a quota in educational institutions in the state for the children of Kashmiri Pandits, he said. Thackeray further said, “Our government is in touch with Kashmiri Pandit leaders and will do everything possible for their safety.”
