Sir john Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Indian cricketer Suresh Raina, whose family originally hails from the Rainawari area of Srinagar, may get a residential plot in the summer capital of the state if Chief Minister Omar Abdullah takes his Twitter message seriously. Raina was part of the Team India that won the Cricket World Cup in Mumbai on Saturday. Omar gave a hint to this effect in his tweet, when it was brought to his notice that Raina, born in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad district in 1986, was a Kashmiri Pandit. “Reallyâ€, Omar wondered over the tweet sent to him by another Kashmiri Pandit, Aditya Raj Kaul. Omar added, “I’d love to have him play for J&K. We need a mascot and the state would be happy to award a plot to him in Srinagarâ€. The Chief Minister has sought other details about the player and his Kashmir connection. “Raina†is one of the major surnames among Kashmiri Pandits. :omg: raina :two_thumbs_up:
pinkfreud Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 :clap: My mom and her whole family are Pandits too. Just being able to go back to your ancestral roots in Kashmir and live there amidst all the violence is just a feeble dream for so many. Now if only he'd do the same to the thousands of other displaced and homeless Pandits across the nation.
imran666 Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 great gesture from umar ..but iam 100% sure raina is richer then him lol
Baad Indian Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 But from where will the Kashmiri Pundits buy a brave heart and balls to live among Muslims in Kashmir?
kabira Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 He should refuse it and instead ask for migration of all the Pandits.
veer Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 He should refuse it and instead ask for migration of all the Pandits. I second that..
Mr_Rat Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 :clap: My mom and her whole family are Pandits too. What about the dad side then?
meloveindia Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I am state subject of Jammu & Kashmir, originally from Samba village near Jammu (right on the Indo-Pak border) Only J&K state subjects can acquire land in their name in J&K, i am sure Raina can (if he has J&K ancestry)

I always thought that you were a Roger Waters fan with a lisp.
