Following the meeting, Sood stated, “We are all well aware of the attitude of previous governments towards the Kashmiri Hindu community. Their apathy – often bordering on hostility – was evident in their indifference to the community’s pain and years of inaction. The mockery made of the film The Kashmir Files is a clear reflection of their malice towards Kashmiri Hindus.”

He further informed, “Since 1990, certain relief measures for the Kashmiri Hindu community were being extended through the Ministry of Home Affairs. However, these provisions were disrupted on June 30, 2024. After the formation of our government, steps have already been taken to address some of these issues.”

Sood added that several specific concerns were raised by members of the displaced Kashmiri Hindu community during a recent interaction with the Chief Minister. “The chief minister patiently heard their grievances and assured them of appropriate resolutions. We stand firmly with our displaced Kashmiri brothers and sisters. The Delhi government deeply empathizes with their suffering. The Chief Minister understands their pain and tears—and is committed to working earnestly toward their relief,” he concluded.
