Exclusive: The votes of Kashmiri displaced Hindus will decide the winner!

Kashmir: It seems that the issue of Kashmiri Pandits has vanished from the national political narrative like the other issues of national importance in the cacophony of the elections. The national media too that is busy in analyzing the speeches of the politicians on daily basis is also oblivious of this issue similar to other issues of national importance.
The speeches by politicians that are nothing more than an electoral clamor are being analyzed on daily basis, but the issue of Kashmiri Pandits, has not figured in the political discourse so far. Sadly enough, the issue of Kashmiri Hindus is not even in the centre of the political agenda of BJP, the party that has been vociferous in raising this issue in the past.
The issue of Kashmiri Pandit finds mention momentarily in the BJP leaders discourses during elections and that too at superficial level. However, for Kashmiri pandits it is an opportunity to make their voice heard by casting their vote in favour of the candidate who is willing to raise their issue and strongly in the parliament.
The separatist leaders in Kashmir have given a call to boycott the elections and if the people of Kashmir adhere to their call making the votes of the displaced Kashmiri Pandits significantly important. Around 99000 votes of these displaced Kashmiri Pandits are registered for the Lok Sabha elections and if they all come out to vote then it could affect the polls and make difference in the prospects of the candidates in fray this time round.
In Baramullah 21136 of these displaced Kashmiri Pandits are registered as voters, In Anantnag 38356 voters and in Kashmir district 39348 voters are registered. These voters can change the poll arithmetic resulting in win or lose of the candidates contesting from here.
Looking at the present situation in Kashmir, it is evident that the poll boycott call will have its effect on the polls and under such circumstances, the displaced Kashmiri Hindus have a great opportunity to vote for the candidate who is in their favour so that their issues can be raised in the parliament strongly.
