| UNHRC's decision to include Homeland, IDP status on its agenda generates new hope among KPs | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Mar 25: The new hope has generated among over seven lakh displaced Pandits with United Nations Human Rights Council, (UNHRC) placing the issues pertaining to the exiled ethnic minorities of Kashmir including their status as internally displaced persons and a homeland directly under the Indian Constitution and jurisprudence on its agenda. The Council is currently engaged in its 26th session at Geneva and it has placed these two vita issues of displaced Pandits on its agenda. The decision has generated a new hope among over seven lakh Pandits all over the globe who have been ignored by the Government in restoring their homeland to them after they were hounded from Valley by the terrorists supported from across the border. Though pinning high hopes in Government of India, the Pandits feel totally betrayed as after the 25 years of their exile they see remote chances of their return to their homeland in Valley with which they are emotionally attached.Both Union and State governments tried to down play the Pandits issue and failed to address it in the manner in which the Government was supposed to. What has irked the ethnic minority community from Kashmir most which has a rich culture and civilization of over 5000 years is the failure of GoI to address their issues and ensure security to them in Valley that it will restore our homeland to us within years but it failed totally in its duty, said Kundan Kashmiri, president KPC. Dr Ramesh a social activist while supporting him said that the 6000 job announced by the Prime Minister in 2007 under his employment package for displaced youth was not implemented though seven years
have elapsed. In its communique the Asian-Eurasian Human Rights Forum has questioned the Indian establishment's policy in designating the exiles as "Migrants" despite massive protests by the impacted communities and national and international organizations.
The Forum extended full support for creating a homeland for the exiled people. |
