The group demands a separate homeland with Union territory status in the Kashmir Valley, east and north of the Vitasta river, under Indian sovereignty. Panun Kashmir leader Nitin Dhar said the constitution would serve as a bridge between memory and future generations. Chairman Tito Ganju described the occasion as a constitutional rebirth of institutional resolve. General secretary Kuldeep Raina said the shift from an unwritten to a written constitution showed organisational maturity. The convention elected new office bearers, including Agnishekhar as convenor, Tito Ganju as chairman, and Kshama Kaul as chairperson of Kashmira Vahini. Observer BL Zutshi said Panun Kashmir remained the only realistic and durable solution for the survival and political security of Kashmiri Hindus within Kashmir. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
