Youth4Panun Kashmir (Y4PK), the prominent and impassioned youth organization epitomizing the fervent
aspirations of the resilient Kashmiri Pandits, has taken an audacious and momentous stride by deftly moving an
Intervenor Application in ongoing Writ Petitions challenging the abrogation of article 370 and 35A to the august
Supreme Court of India. Their earnest plea implores the inclusion of “Youth4PK” as a party in the ongoing
momentous hearing pertaining to the historic neutralisation of Article 370, an unparalleled constitutional
amendment that has brought hope and justice to the aggrieved community, long haunted by the harrowing
shadows of the heart-wrenching genocide they endured.
The historic decision to neutralise Article 370, which granted special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and
Kashmir, has been a pivotal milestone in addressing the grievous genocide that befell the resilient Kashmiri
Pandits. Enabled by this constitutional provision, the genocide cast a long, dark shadow over the community,
subjecting them to unspeakable hardships and indescribable atrocities that scarred generations.
In the face of these immense adversities, the Youth4Panun Kashmir firmly espouses the belief that the
neutralisation of Article 370 stands as a crucial and indispensable step towards ensuring long-awaited justice and
redressal for the suffering endured by the Kashmiri Pandit community. The decision has unfettered their voices,
providing an invaluable opportunity for a fair and impartial examination of the tumultuous past, where the
collective and heartrending perspective of the aggrieved youth can finally find resounding acknowledgement.
Mr. Vithal Chowdhary, Organizing Secretary of Youth4Panun Kashmir, passionately articulated, “The abrogation of
Article 370 resonates as an awe-inspiring milestone, brimming with hope for justice to be served to our
beleaguered community. As vibrant youth, we are unequivocally committed to playing an integral role in the
hallowed judicial process, ensuring the poignant voices of the victims echo resoundingly, demanding long-overdue
recognition.”
Adv.Siddarth Acharaya added, “Youth4Panun Kashmir, being the leading, dynamic, and visionary youth
organization, exudes an invigorating and indispensable perspective to the profound discourse on the abbrogation
of Article 370. Our representation in the august chambers of the Supreme Court is poised to illuminate the
historical injustices suffered by the illustrious Kashmiri Pandit community, epitomizing the indomitable spirit of the
youth in their tireless pursuit of justice.”
In an impassioned and heartfelt appeal, Youth4Panun Kashmir beseeches the Honorable Supreme Court of India
to lend earnest and sagacious consideration to their intervenor application in support of Historical Decision taken
by Government of India on August 5th 2019, embracing the noble opportunity to represent “Youth4PK” in the
ongoing historic hearing. Driven by an unwavering determination to uphold the lofty spirit of justice, they ardently
seek to become the righteous advocates for the inalienable rights and poignant redressal of the illustrious
Kashmiri Pandit community, whose resilience and courage in the face of adversity continue to inspire generations
to come.
