from Kashmir. Opposition On 28 November 2019, India's consul-general in New York proposed an "Israeli model" on Kashmir to help the Kashmiri Pandits return to their homeland. His hour-long video sparked outrage. Muslim Kashmiri activists and some Hindu Kashmiris feared that this will lead to worsening military control, losing their jobs to outsiders, and the loss of their identity by causing Hindus to replace the Muslim majority. This proposition has been compared to a "settler-colonial project", and Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan condemned the proposal as reflecting "the fascist mindset of the Indian government". After the murder of Rakesh Pandit by unidentified militants in June 2021, several members of the Panun Kashmir group proposed a military campaign to establish a separate Hindu region, where Kashmiri Pandits would be armed against local militants. That meeting and their proposed Union Territory has been opposed by Muslim activists, who compared the proposal to Israeli actions against the Palestinians.
