Alleging apathy AIMCCC asks Pandit migrants, other migrants to boycott ongoing DDC elections 11/29/2020 10:16:41 PM JEHANGIR RASHID Early Times Report SRINAGAR, Nov 29: All India Migrant Camps Coordination Committee (AIMCC) has virtually given a boycott call of the ongoing District Development Council (DDC) elections in the union territory of Jammu & Kashmir saying that nothing has been done for the migrants so far by the successive governments. AIMCCC President Desh Ratten Pandita while addressing a meeting of the migrants said that all the governments including the present dispensation have done nothing for the Kashmiri Pandit migrants and other migrants in Jammu & Kashmir. Pandita said that given this scenario it would be useless to cast a vote in the DDC polls and it would be prudent to stay away from such a process. "Over the past three decades or so virtually nothing has been done for the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits and other people who moved out of Kashmir valley and settled down in different parts of the country. The migrants have merely got assurances and reassurances from the different political outfits that have been in power or in opposition during all these years," said AIMCCC President. Pandita said that Kashmiri Pandits and other migrants have virtually been reduced to refugees in their own land and there is nobody who would solve their problems once for all. He said that holding of DDC elections is mere wastage of money and energy adding that the woes of people would continue to be there despite the polls. "There is nothing fresh and new in the electoral process and the people who are taking part are by and large the same who have been deceiving the people in general and the migrants in particular in the past. If election is a pillar of democracy and development then how come the problems of people don't get solved with the passage of time and formation of a new government," said AIMCCC President. Pandita said that the whole process of politics especially electoral politics needs to be overhauled so that honest and clean people join the field and serve the people with honesty, commitment and dedication. He said that politics of exploitation should be stopped so that the innocent masses are not misled by the politicians for their ulterior motives any more.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
