Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has urged the people in India to stop seeing killings in Kashmir on the basis of religion as people from other faiths have also been killed in the Valley.

“It is true some Kashmiri Pandits became victims of targeted killings. But there is another side too. The country should stop seeing this issue on the basis of religion. A lot of other people have also been killed,” The Indian Express quoted Sinha as saying.

Sinha said that a false narrative was being spread over the killings. “I want to say that people from the Kashmir valley are also killed. There are also labourers who come from Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand during the apple season. There were two-three incidents, but a (false) narrative is spread,” he said.

Earlier, protests were witnessed in Jammu by Kashmiri Pandits demanding the relocation of government employees from Kashmir to Jammu.
