The leaders of agitating Kashmiri migrants accused the present dispensation of neglect and urged the Congress delegation to take up their demands at the Centre.

The group of displaced Kashmiri Pandits claimed that the then UPA government had provided them with financial support, relief packages and jobs but thereafter nothing major has been done in their interest.

Patil told the agitating group that Congress president Sonia Gandhi has always been sensitive to the problems and sufferings of Kashmiri Pandits.

“Congress party understands the pain of being away from one’s home. We have full sympathies with the Kashmiri Pandits and the then UPA government under Manmohan Singh tried to do the best possible to help them,” she said.
