Kashmiri Pandits mark Balidan Diwas in Jammu, renew genocide recognition demand

Kashmiri Pandits gathered in Jammu to observe Balidan Diwas, marking the community's displacement and suffering. During the observance, they renewed demands for official legal recognition of the violence against them as "genocide".

The community also called for the establishment of a separate homeland in Kashmir Valley under direct Union protection. These longstanding demands reflect the Pandits' broader push for official acknowledgment of their historical grievances and displaced status.
