Almost sloganeering in a chorus, the children also said that they want justice.

Since May 12 after Kashmiri migrant employee Rahul Bhat was shot dead by terrorists in Chadoora area of central Kashmir, the Pandit community, who have been provided employment under the Prime Minister’s package, have been staging protests at various places.

On Tuesday, the children carrying placards like “I love my papa. I don’t want to lose him” gathered at Vessu camp at Qazigund and started raising slogans for their relocation outside the Kashmir valley.

Umesh Talashi, senior vice-president of the National Conference in Anantnag district and sarpanch, tweeted that “The #Fringe is under security cover and the vulnerable are crying for justice on the streets of #Kashmir.””#KashmiriPandit children of PM package employees demanding security for their lives in Vessue transit accommodation, Kashmir,” Talashi, who had tweeted a video of the protest, said.
