Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 27: KPC chief Kundan Kashmiri today strongly reacted over Medical Education Minister R S Chib's statement who urged displaced Kashmiri Pandits to return their homes in Kashmir Valley.
In a statement Kundan Kashmiri said that return of displaced KPs to their homes in the valley is impossible under prevailing circumstances and political scenario of the valley. "Sufism and secularism in the valley has since been converted into pan-Islamic fundamentalism and political demands of various separatist and so-called secular organizations like, Azadi, Autonomy, Self-Rule has completely marginalized the scope of KPs return to the valley," he claimed.
Kashmiri said that majority of KPs would like to return only after the settlement of Kashmir issue. "However, carving out a consolidated place at the "land of Kashyap" in Kashmir valley with writ of Indian Constitution and restoration of all basic rights and privileges to KPs can be viable solution for the resettlement of displaced KPs in the valley," he said.
The KPC chief said that "lollypop policy" and other scheming of government towards KPs return would not help to their return module, but can only encourage fake return, which will be wastage of funds to be provided by the central government for the purpose.
He demanded that benefits of the Prime Minister's package be given at present location to all migrants for their development.
Kashmiri also cautioned KP activists and leaders not to hobnob with government and its agencies over the return issue as "displaced KPs would themselves decide time and place of return when it suits them."
He reminded Chib to fullfil the promise made with KPs when they were on hunger strike some months back for getting the KPs shrine and temple bill passed in the Assembly.
The KPC chief also cautioned the community people of "false promises and hollow commitments" made by the politicians in view of coming election in the state and centre "as none of the promise has been full-fill by them."
Kashmiri criticized Police for handling the protesters at Jammu and said that political class and administrative management "failed" to provide justice to them.
"Long delay in enhancement of relief has demoralized and annoyed the relief holders and they have completely lost their faith and trust on the rulers running the polity of the nation and state. This enhancement of relief should have been matter of priority being survival and sustenance amount for displaced KPs presently in exile from the last 24 years," he alleged.
Vice President KPC, M L Raia, General Secretary Dr H L Saraf, Secretary R L Raina, Organizing Secretary Sushil Bhat and others also spoke on the same lines.
Meanwhile, Vice President KSD Vijay Raina has also condemned the government for the handling the relief holders and delaying their demands.
He expressed full sympathy with relief holders and appealed chief minister to intervene in the issue of enhance of relief.
He also demanded benefits of the PM package to be given to the displaced KPs at present locations after delinking it from the return to Kashmir valley so that they could live a better life at par with other citizens of India.
Raina warned the government in case relief enhancement has not been made with in shortest period of time, migrants at other places would also be forced to launch the agitation "for which government will be responsible." |
