#Jamaat and #HizbulMujahideen established themselves as the biggest beneficiaries of the genocide of minorities from Kashmir. They grabbed and occupied plush houses and prime lands belonging to the #KashmiriHindus …a small thread…
The encroachments of land of pandits had begun well before 1990 … the use of force by their own neighbors is not ruled out… maximum number of buyers later of Pandit property are associated with militancy as close connected with the conflict.
JeI and HM in 1990 that property of the Pandits would be regarded as Bait-ul-Maal (Common property for Islamic Jihad) after the freedom of Kashmir.. decreed that because this was Bait-ul-Maal, no one was allowed to purchase any type of property from Kashmiri Pandit…
This turned out to be a big hoax. Bait-ul-Maal... In the years that followed, the local units of Hizbul Mujahideen ordered that if anyone wanted to purchase P andit property, he would have to seek the permission of the local HM commanders beforehand..
Kashmiris who were associated directly or indirectly with Jamaat e Islmai or Hizbul Mujahideen, it was very easy to seek the permission of the militant commanders to buy Pandit property.. restricted only to the members and sympathizers of HM and JeI.
This was rare case in history property exchanged hands not at the price fixed by the seller..but sold at the price fixed by the buyer.. overwhelming majority of cases, the Pandits did not have any choice.z. Distress sale of Pandit properties was happening all over Kashmir..
if they do not sell their properties, it would be grabbed sooner or later, and they would get nothing for it. The common Kashmiris had no option but to watch this tamasha. They were – and they continue to be – helpless before the terrorist organisations controlled by Pakistan
JeI and HM members remained busy buying assets of the Pandits and building properties for their children. Those heading the erstwhile state governments remained mute spectators to the gun power wielded by the terrorists and the close collaboration of JeI and HM in this loot.
The property left behind by the Pandits was used by the terrorists to collect money. It was done in this way. Agricultural land belonging to Pandits was allotted to neighboring farmers on the understanding of half share in produce and profit…
For example, one Kanal of land was given to someone and it produced two quintals of rice. Out of this, one quintal share to the terrorists from the same village or outside.. a convenient strategy for Jamaat and its Hizbul to grab the land and property belonging to the Pandit
some functionaries of the state government were biased in favour of the militants. These officers used the community land belonging to the Pandits for the construction of buildings that benefited the Muslim population…
Like Ahle-Islam, the religious land of Muslims, the religious land of Pandits is Ahle-Hanood..Muslim-majority governments in Jammu & Kashmir was ignoring illegal sale of Hindu temples properties…

In 2013 then minister of state revenue Aijaz Khan admitted that state had 448 temples and land attached to them was 210 acres and that there was no encroachment of these temples.. unbelievable as scrap..
The statement of minister was intentional to grab more ahlehanood land… how was it possible that only only 210 acres of land was attached as temples while more than 85 acres of land belonged to one Uma Nagri temple in district Anantnag ..
Estimate as per records held with pandits and as per the book written by MK Bhat .. there should be at least 5000 acres of land as Ahle Hanood with govt..
