A group of Kashmiri Pandits today held a protest at Teen Murti Marg here against Pakistan's "interference" in the internal affairs of India and open "support" to terrorists.
They later submitted a memorandum at the Pakistan High Commission.
The protest was led by the All India Kashmiri Samaj (AIKS), which is a central body for several Kashmiri Pandit organisations in India and abroad.
"The protest was organised against Pakistan's gross interference in the internal affairs of our country, as also Pakistan's open support to known terrorists and their sympathizers in Kashmir," AIKS said in a statement.
The demonstration was earlier planned outside the Pakistan High Commission in Chanakyapuri here but police barricaded a certain stretch of Shanti Path, citing security concerns, therefore the protesters later assembled at Teen Murti Marg.
"A memorandum was submitted to Pakistan High Commission by a delegation of AIKS, urging the Pakistan government to desist from inciting trouble and violence in Kashmir, with the objective of keeping the pot boiling in the Valley, at the cost of ordinary people of Kashmir and its youth," a protester said.
