Kashmiri pandits will be able to return to their homes in the valley soon, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Sunday, asserting that work is on to create a conducive atmosphere so that they are never displaced again.

He also praised The Kashmir Files movie, saying it has created public awareness across the country and outside about the reality behind the exodus of Kashmiri pandits from the valley in 1990.

Addressing members of the Kashmiri Pandit community virtually on the last day of the three-day Navreh celebrations, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief said that the time has come to fulfill the pledge of returning their homes to them in the Kashmir valley.

“It won’t take many days for the fulfilment of our pledge of returning to the valley. It will come true very soon and we have to continue making attempts in this direction. Our history and our great leaders should serve as the guiding light and inspiration for all of us,” Bhagwat said in his over half-an-hour speech.

Referring to his participation in the Kashmiri Pandit festival Herath (Shivaratri) in 2011 in Delhi, he said the community had taken a pledge on the occasion that they would return to their homeland.

“Challenges do come in everyone’s life…We are in a situation where we were displaced in our own country three-four decades ago. What is the solution?” he said, and added, “We will not succumb and see our pledge fulfilled by returning to our homes.”
