| 'Ram Madhav part of anti-India gang': PK | | Composite colonies unacceptable | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 28: The day Panun Kashmir (PK), frontline organization of internally displaced Kashmiri Hindus, held press conference and dubbed BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav a member of the "anti-India gang whose single point agenda is to ensure separation of J&K from India, conversion of J&K into a religious state and destruction of nationalist minorities", Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh came out with idea of composite townships for Kashmir Hindus in the Valley. His suggestion came almost six hours after the PK leadership declared that they will not accept anything short of separate homeland invested with Union Territory status and that they will not live with those who persecuted them and forced them to leave their original habitat.
PK leaders had on Friday came down heavily on Ram Madhav and said "he was a persona non-grata for the Kashmiri Hindu community" and that "he is playing the most dangerous games and have joined separatist forces to promote their agenda and destroy the minorities in the state". They had also dismissed the talk in Kashmir of demographic change of Kashmr Valley as "a diversionary tactic to hide the systematic demographic change being brought out in Jammu province by the fundamentalist separatist establishment in the State in collusion with the governments in State as well as Centre". They had, in addition, tore into the "Delhi Durbar and its stooges in J&K", saying "they were a party to the policy of changing names of religious places and towns and villages - policy that is aimed at erasing all the symbols of Indian civilization and culture in the Valley". Theirs was the most blistering attack on Ram Madhav. Anyway, Ram Madhav is not under scrutiny at the moment as he is the most hated person, particularly in Jammu, Ladakh and colonies where the Kashmiri Hindus have been languishing since decades now. The issue under scrutiny is Rajnath's composite township proposal.
"It is unfortunate that Union Government is asking those forces to allow the rehabilitation of displaced Pandits in Valley who brought about destruction in Kashmir Valley and were responsible for mass exodus of the minority Hindus from there," PK leader Ajay Chrungoo said in Jammu, adding that "Kashmir is already an Islamized polity as every component in Valley is opposing the return of Pandits so there is no way of their settlement except carving out of a separate homeland within Valley with UT status as per the Margdarshan resolution". They had expressed the hope that the Union Government will concede their age-old demand and procure land for the purpose of setting up Homeland, but that didn't happen. What happened was to the contrary.
Talking to Arnab Goswami of Times Now, Rajnath Singh said that the BJP government was committed to taking the Kashmiri Hindus back to the Valley and composite colonies will be set up for them where Muslims and Sikhs would also be settled. At the same time, he didn't set any timeline.
He said it was for the state government to identify land for the purpose and the moment the land was identified, work on composite colonies will start.
The point is that the Union Home Minister left the whole issue of Kashmiri Hindus' return to the Valley to the care of the state government, which on Saturday declared that no land would be allotted for the establishment of separate homeland.
Earlier, spokesperson of J&K Government and Education Minister Naeem Akhtar had said that the state government had left the whole issue for the consideration of Kashmiri separatists, civil society groups and others in Kashmir and the government will proceed accordingly as far as the creation even of composite townships in the Valley is concerned.
The developments as they unfolded in Kashmir and Delhi have clearly suggested that the Kashmiri leadership will not allow the Kashmiri Hindus to return to the Valley and the Government of India will be with whatever the state government does in this regard. How unfortunate! |
