Why the killing of Hindus in Kashmir? : Hindu American community protested against the killing of Kashmiri Pandits and the atrocities on Hindus…

Vandana jhingan, Chicago/USA : Overseas Association, Inc. (KOA) expresses shock and deep anguish on the brutal murder of Sh. Makhan Lal Bindroo on Tuesday, Oct 5th, 2021. Sh. Bindroo was shot dead by the terrorists at his pharmacy near Iqbal Park, Srinagar, and the incident was followed by the killing of Sh. Virender Paswan, a non-local street vendor in Lalbazar.

Emotions of rage and cries are running high as we helplessly watch yet another innocent human being attacked by a gunman only because he was a Kashmiri Pandit. This incident has brought back the painful memories of 1990 when thousands of our community members were killed by the brutality of the terrorists. Many women were raped, many children rendered orphans and more than four hundred thousand of us fled to save our lives and honor. It has been 32 years and we still are not able to go home! Mr. Bindroo, the owner of Bindro0 Medicate, was a well-trusted and respectable name for maintaining a quality pharmacy amidst many other competitors.

He and his entire family had stayed put in the terror-stricken Valley throughout the insurgency of 32 years, providing warmth and personal care to the locals irrespective of their status and religion. He was an embodiment of love and tolerance and trusted his fellow Kashmiris! Mr. Bindroo is survived by his wife, Smt. Kiran Bindroo, son, Siddharth Bindroo, an endocrinologist, and Ms. Shraddha Bindroo, an associate Professor. The family currently lives in Srinagar’s Indra Nagar locality. Kashmiri Pandit community is a peace loving and progressive community who have survived the pain and brutality of the forced Exodus of 1990 through their perseverance. These acts of violence do not deter them. We continue to live by our values of nonviolence.

Income tax under section S01(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. KOA strongly condemns this nefarious murder and earnestly demands an urgent action from the Govt. of India to bring to justice the perpetrators of this crime. Kashmiri Pandit community is very concerned that there has been increase in the incidence of terrorism in the valley in recent times, which may be directed towards the Pandits living in the valley.

With terrorist outfits taking responsibility for these targeted killings, all peace-loving citizens of the valley should be concerned. It is also unfortunate that on one side, Kashmiri Pandits are encouraged to return to the valley and on the other hand, our brethren who are already living there continue to be the targets of the militants. We send our deepest condolences to the family of Sh. Bindroo, may his soul rest in peace! His family has shown exceptional cou solidarity with them. ein this difficult time. We all stand in May God Bless our community! Sincerely, Archana Kokroo President,CEO and Chairperson, KOA Inc.
