NEW DELHI/SRINAGAR - India’s ruling party will revive a plan to build secured camps to resettle scores of Hindus in the Muslim-dominated Kashmir Valley, a senior leader said, a proposal that would almost certainly heighten tensions in the restive region.
“Their fundamental rights of returning to the valley have to be respected. At the same time, we have to provide them proper security,” Madhav said in an interview, referring to the Kashmiri Hindus, also known as Pandits. India’s federal home ministry, which would be involved in any such building activity in the Kashmir Valley, did not respond to a request for comment.
“I am sure when we come back to power, we will again take it up and try and see if a solution can be found,” he said. After living side-by-side with Kashmiri Muslims for centuries, Pandits fled for safety after a sharp rise in killings and attacks by Muslim militants when the insurgency flared in 1989.
