KPs should manage Amarnath Yatra: Bhushan Bazaz
Srinagar, Nov 11: Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Forum president Pandit Bhushan Bazaz Sunday called for handing over the management of annual Amarnath Yatra to Kashmiri Pandits.
Addressing Kashmiri Pandit Migrants at Aliganj Camp here today, Bazaz said: “Handing over affairs of the Yatra to Kashmiri Pandits would review the age-old harmony of the community with their Muslim brethren that existed before the yatra management was taking over by the state Government.”
Bazaz expressed surprise over Kashmiri Pandits not even being involved in the matters like lengthening or shortening the duration of the yatra. “Earlier it was always the Kashmiri Muslims who used to facilitate Pandits for conducting the Amarnath Yatra. But now the Government has messed up everything,” he said.
