In a statement issued Waheed Parra Reacting to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s recent initiative to rehabilitate victims of terrorist attacks, Parra described the move as a “humane step towards healing families who have paid the ultimate price.” However, Parra warned that selective rehabilitation risks leaving families affected by errors of security forces “unseen and unhealed.”

He cautioned that true integration demands “acknowledging all citizens harmed by violence, whether by militants, non-state actors, or the state itself.”

Calling for broader compassion, Parra urged authorities to “dismantle an ecosystem of pain and resentment, admit past mistakes, and grant closure to those who deserve empathy, not erasure.”

He highlighted that such inclusive action would “serve peace forever” and mark a true turning point in reconciliation between Kashmiris and the rest of the nation.(KNS)
