| No shut down observed, no action taken so sar: KPSS | | Remembering Wandhama massacre | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, Jan 24 : The Kashmiri Pandit Sangharsh Sammitee (KPSS) has asked the separatists as to why they did not extend any shutdown calls against killings of Kashmiri Pandits. The Kashmiri non migrant Pandit organization has also asked chief minister to come up with a statement on action taken against those who according to KPSS are responsible for the 'forced exodus' of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley. In a statement issued here today, Sanjay Tickoo president of KPSS asked chief minister Omar Abdullah to show what action he has taken against the culprits of killings of Pandits and those responsible for the 'forcible exodus' of the community. "Massacres and fake encounters have become part of J&K since the eruption of political turmoil and armed insurgency in the State. Every massacre and fake encounter is mourned by public at large and a call for shut down is proposed by the Separatist Camp to express grief and resistance against these acts," Tickoo has said in his statement. He has added that during the last two decades not a single separatist, who run the resistance camps in the State, have ever extended a call for shut down against the 'massacres of Kashmiri Pandits' in Kashmir valley. "It also shows some real faces who have actually done these heinous crimes against minuscule population of Kashmir Valley." Tickoo has said that on January 25, 1998, '23 Kashmiri Pandits including a 2 years boy were killed at Wandhama, Ganderbal. 16 years have passed but nothing has been done by any Camp present in the Kashmir Valley whether Main-stream or Separatist to book the culprits for the same.' "On the contrary all the cases pertaining to the Kashmiri Pandits killing have been closed down for different reasons which shows that racist elements are present in the administration which prevent the to perform their duties in un-biased manner," he has added. Tickoo has said that it is also an irony that the people from the community living outside Kashmir Valley observe 19th of January every year as "Holocaust Day", a day in remembrance that how a Kashmiri Pandits was deprived from the right being Kashmiri and was forced to choose exodus from the Valley, do not observe any of the days including the days when Pandits who chose to stay back weremassacred. "This shows that they have disowned us and their conscience of concern have seized with respect to left out populace who stayed back. " Tickoo has said that KPSS expects that Omar will come up with a statement as what his government has done with respect to book the culprits who killed Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley which led to the forced exodus of the Community from Kashmir. |
