In a powerful outcry of grief and indignation, Kashmiri Pandits—joined by concerned citizens of Delhi—assembled in large numbers at Jantar Mantar to protest the brutal killing of 26 Hindu tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir.
Chanting “Stop Hindu Genocide,” the demonstrators decried what they termed the systematic targeting of Hindus—from Kashmir to Mushirabad, Manipur to Tamil Nadu. Protesters called upon the Government of India to unequivocally declare Pakistan a terrorist state and cease all diplomatic and economic engagement with it.
Speakers condemned the attacks as acts of “Jihadi terrorism,” criticizing what they described as a deliberate whitewashing of jihadist violence by left-liberal intellectuals and media as “moral cowardice and betrayal of the nation.”
Prominent community leaders present included:
Vithal Chowdhary – Youth 4 Panun Kashmir
Amit Raina – Roots in Kashmir
Sumeer Chrungoo – Kashmiri Samiti Delhi
Kamal Hak – Panun Kashmir
Together, they issued the following demands:
1. Immediate arrest of Aga Rahullah and Wahid Para for their alleged inflammatory remarks against Hindus.
2. Formal declaration of Pakistan as a terrorist state, immediate suspension of all diplomatic and business ties, and closure of the Pakistan High Commission in India.
3. Official recognition of the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits.
4. Urgent protection and relocation of all PM Package employees serving in Kashmir.
“The attack in Pahalgam is not just against tourists—it is an attack on India,” said Sumeer Chrungoo, President, Kashmiri Samiti Delhi. “This is Ghazwa-e-Hindustan. If India does not awaken now, there may be no India left to defend.”
