Jammu, Feb 3: All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC) has strongly condemned the attitude of certain elements to politicize every death taking place among the Kashmiri Pandit community in Valley by painting it as a benevolent gesture and spreading false rumours that Muslims performed the last rites of the dead.
In a joint statement issued by APMCC Chairman Vinod Pandit and National Spokesperson King Bharati, the leaders have said that the recent episode of the death of one Janki Nath Bhat, aged 86 years resident of Malwan in Kulgam district who was living with his wife Rani in his village is yet another example of how facts were being twisted to give it a different colour.
They said that the APMCC team lead by Rahul Ramesh Raina and Ashok Singh Jamwal along with Satesh were very much there besides other neighbours and relatives like Jawalal of Chawalgam, Jawlal of Chiyan, Kishni Pandita, Surinder Pandita, Kuldeep Kilam, Vijay, Ashok, Seshoo of Devsar and others.
"Do we publicize the deaths of our neighbours in Jammu or elsewhere and try to claim the credit of last rites? APMCC warns such elements to desist from politicizing the sad and unfortunate deaths among Kashmiri Pandit families living in Kashmir Valley" said Vinod Pandit. APMCC has also released photographs of the episode to show that last rites were performed as per Hindu tradition. |
