Ram Navmi celebrated in Kashmir

Ram Navami, the birthday of Lord Ram was celebrated in the Kashmir Valley. Scores of devotees including a large number of Muslims and Sikhs also participated in the celebrations at the Ram Ji Mandir at Barbarshah.

Hindu Welfare Society (HWS), a body of non-migrant pandit thanked Muslims on the occasion for their cooperation.

HWS said that they celebrated the Ramnavmi as Hindu- Muslim- Sikh unity and held prayer meetings for peace in the world particularly for the state of Jammu Kashmir.
“Today we celebrated the festival with the members of other communities. Our aim was to strengthen the bond of love, respect and communal harmony among the Kashmiris who have suffered a lot in the turmoil,” said HWS.

The Society said that it wishes the religious brotherhood of the Kashmir stands all the odds as the Valley is the abode of Reshis and Sufis who devoted their lives for the mankind. HWS thanked the majority community for supporting the Kashmiri non migrant Pandits over the years.

Demanding minority status, employment for the educated Pandit youth and their rehabilitation, HWS said that the government should address the problems faced by the community on humanitarian grounds.
