SRINAGAR, May 21: Chairman Reconciliation, Return & Rehabilitations of Migrants Satish Mahaldar has welcomed the new domicile rules for Jammu and Kashmir and termed them as an important milestone in the nation’s history. “The new domicile rules will go a long way to address some of the grave issues being faced by the persecuted community. Not only does it end the discrimination towards women, and schedule castes, it also sets in a fair agenda for the upcoming generation of Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs, etc born post 1990, who were finding it difficult to obtain domicile certificates due to certain vested hostile elements in the valley,” said Mahaldar. Mahaldar said the new domicile law has simplified the eligibility process for Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs and other Hindus. Since PoK is the part of Jammu & Kashmir & already J&K assembly has reserved legislative seats for them, we urge GOI to include people of PoK in the new domicile rule, he said.
“Now the priority of the Central government is to fulfill the pending promise towards the return & rehabilitation of the Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir. Now is the opportune time to announce the rehabilitation policy of the Kashmiri Pandits. We demand an immediate sanction of Rs three lakh crores towards rehabilitation (both physical and economic),” said Mahaldar.
Mahaldar said that since Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said that Kashmiri Pandits will be rehabilitated in the 10 districts of the valley, the Government of India should immediately notify the land towards this across the 10 districts of the Kashmir Valley. “Our constitutional and fundamental rights have not been protected being a minority in Kashmir valley. Therefore, we seek minority status for the minorities in Kashmir which includes the Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs and others. We demand that 10 seats be reserved for us in the assembly,” said Mahaldar. Mahaldar said that being a minority in Kashmir 30 percent seats should be reserved for Kashmiri Pandit migrants and Sikh migrants in all professional colleges of J&K. There should be age and qualification relaxation for Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs and others under the PM employment package scheme or otherwise, he said.
“We seek special quota in jobs too like the SC/ST or a similar category so that the victims of terrorism are uplifted & justice is delivered. We demand that the Government of India/J&K government provide any industrial land to Kashmir Pandit migrants to set up industry towards their economic rehabilitation in the valley,” said Mahaldar.
We urge Government of India to immediately sanction minimum 400 Acres of land for Kashmiri Pandits, 100 acres for Kashmiri Sikhs and 50 acres for Kashmiri Buddhists, which should be allocated / reserved for the Kashmiri migrants/minorities, who want to set up industry in Kashmir at nominal cost, he said.
