Kashmiri Hindus who were subjected to ethnic cleansing in early nineties are not ready to march again outside valley. The community microscopic in number has urged upon the government of India and J&K for security as there has been series of target killings in past two three months which developed fear among the community members. Government is doing its best to accommodate and provide security but sense of calmness is not being felt. Though, there is big problem from the local politicians who want to polarize the people in the name of religion to secure their constituency with the result hate is prevailing and unrest continues. “On this international refugee day, we demand that our elected government (Centre) relocate and attach us with the office of Relief Commissioner Jammu till the situation in Kashmir improves,” Sanjay Kaul, a leader of the All Minority Employees Association Kashmir (AMEAK), told reporters at Sheikhpora Migrant colony in Budgam. He said if the government failed to address their demand for relocation, the employees will be forced to appeal to the international community and human rights organizations to come to their aid. “Right now we have hopes with our elected government. If it fails in ensuring our safety, which can only be achieved by relocating us, we will be forced to appeal for asylum,” Kaul said. During Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s visit to the migrant colony, he had promised to keep the doors of dialogue open with the minority employees...But these doors have been shut. Issues cannot be resolved in one meeting. We are willing to take 10 steps but let the government at least take two," he added.
