Panun Kashmir Postpones ‘Nyaya Sankalp Anshan’ at Jantar Mantar
Cites Prevailing Political Situation in Delhi
21/10/2026
Jammu, October 21 (KIP)-In a statement issued by Kuldeep Raina, General Secretary of Panun Kashmir, the organisation has announced the postponement of its proposed ‘Nyaya Sankalp Anshan’, scheduled for October 24, 2026, at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, citing the prevailing situation in the national capital and the current political atmosphere.
In the official announcement, Kuldeep Raina stated that the decision had been taken in the interest of national responsibility, democratic propriety and public order. Clarifying the position of Panun Kashmir, he said the postponement was a temporary measure and should not be construed as a retreat from its longstanding struggle for justice for the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community.
Raina expressed concern over what he described as an increasingly confrontational political environment in Delhi, referring to political activities and protests involving certain political forces. He observed that, in the prevailing circumstances, proceeding with the demonstration could entail the risk of heightened tensions. He stated that Panun Kashmir considered it prudent to defer the programme rather than risk its just demands becoming entangled in the broader political contest.
Reaffirming Panun Kashmir's commitment to constitutional and democratic methods, Raina maintained that responsible political action requires due consideration of public peace, institutional stability and the larger national interest.
The statement also raised questions about what Panun Kashmir perceives as inadequate political mobilisation and public attention towards the genocide and forced displacement of Kashmiri Pandits. Recalling the community’s expulsion from its ancestral homeland, Raina highlighted the prolonged consequences of displacement, including the loss of homes, cultural roots, security and a settled community life.
Questioning the extent to which the suffering of Kashmiri Pandits has received sustained political attention, nationwide public mobilisation and media coverage, Raina contrasted the scale of mobilisation around other political issues with what he considers the limited and inconsistent public engagement with the plight of the displaced community.
“Are Kashmiri Pandits children of a lesser God? Is our suffering less worthy of justice?” Raina asked in the statement, underscoring the organisation’s demand for equal recognition of the community’s historical suffering and its continuing pursuit of justice.
He further questioned the absence of sustained, large-scale demonstrations demanding accountability and redress for the Kashmiri Pandit community, calling for a more consistent national response to its grievances.
Describing Panun Kashmir as a responsible nationalist movement, Raina reiterated that its campaign would remain anchored in constitutional principles, democratic responsibility and the unity and integrity of India. He emphasised that the decision to postpone the protest reflected its assessment of the prevailing circumstances and its commitment to ensuring that the pursuit of justice did not contribute to an atmosphere of confrontation.
“Our decision to postpone the protest is an act of national responsibility, not a retreat from our cause,” Raina declared.
He reaffirmed that the struggle of Panun Kashmir would continue until the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits received due national recognition, accountability was pursued against those responsible in accordance with law, and the displaced community secured justice, dignity and a secure future. He reiterated the organisation's demand for a Constitutional Homeland in Kashmir, which it regards as central to addressing the community’s long-standing political, security and identity concerns.
“We stand for justice, not anarchy. We stand for nationalism, not political opportunism,” Raina stated. He maintained that the postponement was a measure of prudence in the prevailing circumstances and that Panun Kashmir's commitment to pursuing its demands through constitutional and democratic means remained unchanged.
“Our silence today is a matter of responsibility. Our struggle tomorrow will be stronger than ever,” the statement said.
