Dr. Dayal, who released the letter through a Press release and distributed it to scribes via e-mail, has written the letter on the eve of the multi-group talks in New Delhi on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir. The letter says: "I write to bring to your attention the terrible plight of a small group of citizens of the State of Jammu and Kashmir whose suffering for the past many years has been ignored by local officials and political authorities as well as by the State government". He pointed out that there are six families of Catholics who had converted from Pandit or Muslim families. They have faced a triple crisis - persecution from Hindus, persecution from Muslims and Persecution from the State.
