Kashmir, Jun 02, 2017 : Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti was today heckled by a group of angry Kashmiri Pandits at a temple near Srinagar.

 

After the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader arrived at the function near Tul Mul village, Mufti faced angry protests and was surrounded by the mob who countered her with slogans.

"We want justice," was the cry of the protesters at Mela Khir Bhawani festival, an important annual festival of Kashmiri Pandits.

Later on the chief minister told reporters: "Today Kashmiri Pandits came in thousands. After seeing them I also pray to Allah that they return to their houses soon".

She said there are many children of Kashmiri Pandits who have never seen Kashmir as they never stayed in the state.

"We want peace and happiness. Hope the situation improves and I want that all Kashmiri Pandits can return to their houses and stay with us happily," Mufti said.

The chief minister visited the temple and met the devotees to celebrate the festival devoted to Hindu Goddess Ragnya Devi.

Two days ago, Kashmiri Pandits, who were affected by militancy in the Valley in early 90’s, had staged a protest outside the National Investigation Agency (NIA) headquarters in Delhi where Kashmiri separatist leaders Bitta Karate, Ghazi Baba and Naeem Khan were being grilled.
