New Delhi, June 5: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday slammed the Centre over the alleged killing of Kashmiri Pandits in Jammu and Kashmir, saying that Kashmiri Pandits were being "forced" to leave their homes. He further asserted that "BJP can't handle Kashmir". Addressing the AAP's 'Jan Aakrosh Rally' at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal said, "Kashmir was ours, belongs to us and will remain ours. Kashmiri Pandits were being forced to leave their homes, a repeat of what happened in the 1990s." "Whenever there is a murder in Kashmir, it comes in the media: 'Home Minister called a meeting..' Too many meetings are being held while people are dying. Now, India needs action. People want action to be taken by the government. Tell the plan to the country," he added.
