He also praised Narendra Modi for leading the only Government in the history of India that showed the political spine to act against Terrorists. He appreciated the group for this initiative and shared that many youngsters, in the 90s, wanted to retaliate violently but the community elders stopped them from doing this as it would have brought a civil war against our own country and people. They encouraged the agitated youth to raise their voice peacefully, yet assertively, for their rights and for the cause of nation building, in accordance with our culture. He said that the KP4Modi 2.0 initiative reminded him of that.

Speaking on the importance of preserving Kashmiri Culture among the community youth and encouraging them to take the the initiative further, Shri Ashok Pandit reiterated the importance of spreading Kashmiri culture and music.

He encouraged the group members to do the same. He also said that there is a lot that Shri Narendra Modi has done for the nation and this team should concentrate on bringing that forward through this initiative.

Ravin Trakroo, a core team member KP4Modi 2.0 initiative said that the community should not ignore the support it has received during the early years of exodus that ensured reservation in colleges and universities across the country. He pressed on the fact that the same has helped the community to stand on its own although a lot needs to be done further to rehabilitate the community with dignity.

A key surprise for the attendees was a live rendition of “Sanah Kaem Loul Shabnam Naer Karonaaes” by Shrimati Neerja Pandit in her melodious voice. Another unique twist was ‘Rapper Pandit’ singing RAP songs in praise of Shri Narendra Modi.
