| Pandits look towards Modi for, return rehabilitation | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 24: With Narendra Modi getting second term as Prime Minister, the hopes of over four lakh displaced Pandits regarding their honourable and dignified return to Valley have increased.
The Kashmiri Pandits who are leading an exiled life for last three decades are hopeful of their early rehabilitation in Valley in accordance with their aspirations.
The Modi Government has also shown its concern since it assumed office for the first time in 2014 towards the plight of the exiled Pandits and had also earlier framed a plan of establishing twin townships in Valley for rehabilitation of displaced people from Kashmir.
However with the total opposition from mainstream parties in Valley including NC, PDP and Congress who supported Separatist Hurriyat stand on the issue. They protested against the move with hardliner Hurriyat leader Geelani and others saying that Modi Government is trying to settle outsiders in Valley under the garb of rehabilitation of displaced Pandits.
The Government halted the move as BJP's coalition partner PDP too did not support the same.
However an encouraging statement has this time come from NC patriarch and MP from Srinagar, Dr Farooq Abdullah who yesterday after his victory gave an hint regarding return of exiled Pandits to Valley.
This statement has been taken positively by some KP organisations who are of the opinion that if NC takes a positive stand over the issue and works in close coordination with Modi Government the return and rehabilation of Pandits as per their aspirations is possible.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his two visits to Jammu recently in his public rallies has shown lot of concern for the displaced Pandits plight.
Modi made a mention of the same in his speeches in Jammu and assured that he will take every possible steps for the rehabilitation and return of the community as he is pained by their plight.
The Kashmiri Pandits are now hopeful that Modi getting massive support of countrymen will take all positive steps for return and rehabilation of Pandits in their homeland and settle this grave problem once for all. |
