| PK hails the 2014 mandate, demands Homeland, reorganization | | Hope and optimism | | Neha
JAMMU, May 31: A number of political and social groups have hailed the Mandate 2014 and expressed the view that the massive victory of Narendra Modi would change the course of Indian history. One such organization is the Panun Kashmir (PK) of Ajay Chrungoo and Agnishekhar. The PK is the premier organization of the internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus.
"Kashmiri Hindus hail the historic mandate given to Narendra Modi and BJP in the recently concluded parliamentary elections. The moment is a watershed in the contemporary history of India. The message in the mandate eloquently conveys that the Indian nation will not countenance anything that impinges upon the unity and integrity of India. It is a rebuff to the forces which sought to undermine the idea of India as a civilization, and play a divisive politics of denial and subterfuge. The mandate signals that the majority community in the country has rejected the narrow politics based on caste, language, region and religion. It marks the beginning of the era of the demise of such processes which sought to utilize the space within the state and political system, to wage a war against the unity of India and its cvilizational ethos," they, along with Mk Taing and Sushil Pandit, have said. The PK leadership not just expressed happiness over the outcome of the very crucial general election. They also expressed the hope that the voice of the community of displaced Kashmiri Hindus and similar other oppressed and suppressed communities and social groups would be heard in India. "Kashmiri Hindus look to Narendra Modi with great hop and optimism. It is our strong belief based on ground realities that the separatist campaign in Kashmir is not an issue of local alienation or a legacy of partition. The separatist campaign is part of a war been waged to dismantle India's northern frontiers and pave a way for the balkanization of the country," they have said, and added that the religious cleansing of their community was a consequence of this campaign and that brazen attempts at denial of genocide of Hindus in Kashmir by successive governments, as also reducing the issue of resettlement to a symbolic return of a few hundred people, only attempts to make a spurious claim that the secularism is restored in Kashmir.
Besides, they challenged the very concept of Kashmiriyat. Apart from underlining the need to accelerate the process of nation-building and protecting and securing the Himalayan frontiers and eliminating the forces inimical to India and the minorities in the state, the PK leadership urged the new dispensation under Narendra Modi "not to be misled by any jargons of Kashmiriyat", which they said "is a misnomer and a construct meant to hoodwink the truth about Kashmir". Not just this, they also urged the BJP Government to fulfill its "commitment to the creation of Union Territory of Ladakh. "The structural reorganization of Jammu & Kashmir in the larger framework of the reorganization of the states is a political necessity that would address the aspirations of the people of Jammu and also the mandate the creation of a homeland for half a million uprooted Hindus in Kashmir in Kashmir valley". Indeed, the PK leadership has made a number of valid points which needed to be considered and acted upon in the larger national interest. Their suggestion that the mandate 2014 is a mandate for a complete change and for the nation and state-building and promotion of Indian ethos is well-founded. |
