Parishad president Mahant Balak Das informed about the demand to form the commission.
“After the exact number of temples destroyed in Kashmir is known, their reconstruction should be done with immediate effect,” he said.
He further said that the properties of those who were involved in driving away Kashmiri pundits from the valley should be confiscated and action taken against them.
Meanwhile, Rampanth chief Dr Rajiv Shreeguruji said all members of Rampanth and seers together will apprise the people in villages about the history of the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus. “Sanatan dharma will have to adopt a policy of standing firm, and not fleeing,” he said.
He said the that ‘sant samaj’ (seer community) of Kashi will soon meet the President and apprise him of their concern.
