Amid controversy over the proposal to build "composite townships" for displaced Kashmiri Pandits, separatist leader Yasin Malik has called for "peaceful protests" and a strike in the Kashmir Valley this week. After union Home Minister Rajnath Singh asked the state's chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed to provide land for such "composite townships," questions are being asked on whether these townships will exclusively house rehabilitated Kashmiri Pandits. About three lakh Pandits had left the Valley when the first wave of militancy began 25 years ago.
