<b>Kashmiri militants warn against return of Pandits</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Trying to put a dampener on the Hurriyat's efforts to bring Kashmiri Pandits back to the Valley, four Pakistan-based militant groups on Friday warned the migrants against doing so as they had "deserted" the majority community "during the hour of crisis".
Accusing the Pandits of helping then J&K Governor Jagmohan "implement his heinous plans" by migrating in the 1990s, they said, <b>"we impose a ban on the return of Kashmiri Pandit migrants to the Valley."</b>
"Exchanging garlands with leaders of the moderate faction of the Hurriyat Conference cannot absolve them. The childish assurances handed out by the Hurriyat will not protect them," a joint spokesman for Al-Nasireen, Al-Arifeen, Save Kashmir Movement and Fazandan-e-Millat said in a faxed statement.
