| Pandits united on homeland, say only viable solution to problem | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 6: Apprehending a backlash again, the Kashmiri Pandits are averse to return to the scattered clusters in Valley and have decided to accelerate struggle for a separate homeland within Valley with Union Territory status.
Various KP factions including the protagonists of homeland movement have decided to join hands in demanding rehabilitation of the displaced Pandit s in a separate homeland within Kashmir. `` We are committed to homeland and it was the only solution to our 700 year old persecution'' said Vir Ji a KP youth leader and a PK activist.
He said the time is ripe when the community should launch a united struggle for homeland within Valley in accordance to Margdarshan resolution of 1991 as no other option was a via media to our problems.
Vir Ji while making a fervent appeal to all factions of KP organizations to come on a single platform and launch a united movement for homeland said in this regard two factions of PK have joined hands already.
Supporting him CL Dhar a KP migrant putting up in Union Capital said that all KP organisations should give up their individual agendas and support homeland and Margdarshan resolution. They should also launch a united movement in this regard all over the country, he added.
Dhar said that those talking of return to clusters are befooling the community and deceiving themselves as return to isolated places or original inhabitations was never possible in the given situation as in last 25 years much water has flown through river Jehlum.
The Pandits being aborigines of Kashmir having over 5000 years civilization are first party to Kashmir issue resolution and no solution was possible which is not acceptable to them, said Dhar, adding their aspirations need to be taken into consideration while taking any decision on the issue.
Fully backing the Modi Government's return move, Ramesh Kumar a social activist from Bangalore however said that the Prime Minister should also take the ground realities into consideration instead of takingany decision on this sensitive issue. Instead to taking such a decision which will boomerang and create an embarrassing situation for new Government at Delhi it should consult well meaning people in the community on this sensitive issue.
He said the return of the Pandits is a litmus test for Narendera Modi Government too and it is hoped that he too will not take any hasty step in this regard. He said return to clusters and ancestral habitations will lead to another exodus and it can't be a everlasting solution to the problem. |
