| Raising dead issue about threat to KP motivated: KPSS | | | ET Plus Report
Srinagar, Mar 8 : The Kashmiri Pandit Sangarsh Samiti (KPSS) has said that raising ' Dead Issue' about threat to Kashmiri pandits in Kashmir in Parliament recently was politically motivated. This shows very callous and insensitive approach of the Centre towards the Kashmir situation, KPSS president Sanjay Kumar Tickoo said in a statement here today. He said on the contrary to assuaging the situation on ground zero, Government at Centre is showing very callous approach towards the situation in Kashmir. In addition to that dead cases are being exhumed from the dusty file racks to put fuel in the turmoil to make it grimmer for the people of Kashmir and especially minorities, he said. KPSS strongly reacted to the reply in which insensitive approach was shown by the Minister of State for Home R P N Singh while replying to a question in Rajya Sabha with respect to the threats, if any, to Kashmiri Pandits living in the Valley. As the case is more than six months old and we are surprised, why this question was raised and replied so immaturely at this time, when entire Kashmir is on boil due to political failures at different levels," Tickoo said. He said that it was a fact that, last year, a threatening letter was received in the name of Secretary, Pandit Colony Sheikhpora, Budgam to leave Kashmir within a week through post. But, he said it is also true that it has no evidence of its origin from any of the militant outfits. An FIR was lodged in the concerned Police Station and the matter is under investigation. "We cannot overrule that this can be a mischief done by some vested interest persons to make a hoax call for the reasons best known to them," he said. Tickoo said this incident took place in the month of August, 2012, but why it was raised now. It is fact also, when this incident happened, Kashmiri Pandits living in the Sheikhpora Vicinity went to both the fractions of Hurriyat and Police. He said that the matter was dealt with seriousness at the ground level and through investigation was also done. As per the reports Police dismissed the letter as mischief by some people and called it a prank. Police also claimed that cognizance have been taken on the issue. Tickoo blamed the press for unnecessary giving weightage to 'dead news' to make it alive and make the situation more chaotic at the ground level. "We are in 'war zone' and any unscrupulous element use these kind of situations for their vested interests", he added. |
