Permission for Kousar Nag yatra sought again; Omar in dock 8/20/2014 11:52:07 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Aug 20: The Central Government has directed Omar Abdullah Government to grant security and immediate permission to the group of the 20 Kashmiri Pandits desirous of undertaking Kousar Nag yatra. The All Party Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC) has again sought permission to undertake yatra. The yatra has been contentious issue in the past after some separatists evoked frivolous grounds to protests against forcing authorities to cancel it. However, even though the yatra was stopped, but after it, pictures were circulated in the social media, where some people sitting in front of the lake, had hoisted a flag with the religious sermons. It has been thus made into a religious confrontation. The situation is likely to aggravate further after India called Foreign Secretary level talks with the India expressing its displeasure for meeting the separatists. The separatists are fumed over this act of the Modi Government, which has shown them (separatists) their real face. They are again likely to evoke religious sentiments in the Valley to oppose the yatra and this rebuff by the Central Government is likely to be used by them to spread propaganda of hatred. Even though the Omar Abdullah had himself supported the yatra and had blamed separatists for spreading lies on concern over pollution, this time he will be watched for his handling of the situation especially on how he ensures the safe and smooth passage to the yatris. Even though only handful of KPs will perform yatra, but the sentiments in the Valley are likely to be raised against it. The separatists and also some elements within the political parties are likely to create disturbance and intelligence agencies have already communicated to the Government on this regard. The Modi Government also by its rebuff to the separatists had signaled that only a handful of people can't be allowed to have their writ run in the state which is also represented by the Hindus of the Jammu , people of the Ladakh region and also the Kashmiri Pandits.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
