Asked about the proposed formation of the Inter-Community Committee (ICC) to be led by the Kashmiri cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq that would ensure the return of Kashmiri Pandits to the valley, Koul said: “there is nothing like that to happen as I have seen such initiatives were taken earlier also”.

He said the return of the Kashmiri Pandits to the valley has to be decided by the clerics, the people, and the big leaders.
“When they say that they are going to accommodate a Kashmiri Pandit near their houses they (Pandits) will come to Kashmir without any fear”, the BJP leader said.
