New Delhi: It was a long fought battle for Ravinder Pandita, a Kashmiri pandit who migrated to Delhi like many others during the peak of insurgency in the valley in 1990s. For him, Pakistan government's green signal to Sharda Temple Corridor is the beginning of a new chapter between both the countries.
Sharing his experiences with ETV Bharat, Ravinder Pandita claimed that he has been fighting for this cause for nearly 20 years under the banner of his organisation 'Save Sharda Committee Kashmir.'
The Pakistan government on Monday gave nod to the opening of a corridor for Indian pilgrims to visit the ancient Sharda Peethtemple in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, meeting a long-standing demand of Kashmiri Pandits.
When asked whether he had ever imagined that Pakistan will agree to their demands, he said, "We had built so much pressure on Pakistan locally that it was important for Imran Khan's government to give it a green signal."
