Srinagar, Aug 9: The Chairperson of Dukhtaran-e-Millat, Syeda Aasiya Andrabi on Monday said the representatives of minority community have hurt the sentiments of Kashmiris by claiming to be unsafe in the Valley.
In a statement, Aasiya maintained that Kashmiris have been treating the minority community as part of the Kashmiri society and maintaining brotherhood with them.
Aasiya was reacting to the concern shown by the representative of Kashmir Pandit Sangharsh Samiti and All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee during a meeting on Sunday with the Chairman Hurriyat (G) Syed Ali Shah Geelani.
“How can the people of minority community forget that Indian agencies were behind the migration of Kashmiri Pandits and massacres at Chattisinghpora and Nadimarg? Despite passing through trepidation, Kashmiris Muslims are presently distributing relief among the people of minority community,” Aasiya said.
Aasiya said during the Amarnath land row, some communal parties had ruthlessly killed the Kashmiri drivers. “But we maintained calm. Kashmiris ensure that despite the ongoing unrest the Amarnath yatris perform the pilgrimage smoothly,” she said.
She said at a time when Kashmiris were themselves feeling insecure and being victims of human rights violation, how can they ensure protection to others.  
“Unless we achieve freedom from India, nobody in Kashmir is secure. We expect the members of minority community to extend support to our cause,” she said.
