Special Langars (Community Kitchens) were also organized by the Pandit community at different temples of the city.

A Pandit participant in the march at Lal Chowk said the procession is an open invitation to their migrant brethren to return to their homeland.

Praising the Muslim majority for their support Arun Kumar, a participant said the procession passed through major thoroughfares of the city peacefully and this was testament to the fact that Pandits live here with dignity and respect. He blasted the vested interests for provoking Muslim majority here against minority community and said they were maligning entire community for petty benefits.

He said Kashmir is not a religious but a political issue.
