Mehbooba seeks cooperation of KPs in rebuilding Kashmir after floods 10/12/2014 10:49:55 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Oct 12: Seeking cooperation of the Pandit community in rebuilding Kashmir after the devastating floods, president of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Mehbooba Mufti today said that this community has immensely contributed in the past in emancipation of Kashmir society and it is time for their return to their homes with honour and dignity. Addressing meetings of Kashmiri Pandits at Paloura, Purkhoo and Jagti areas, Mehbooba Mufti said that Kashmir has once again faced with a devastation of vast scale, though this time it is result of the nature's wrath but it compounds the problem left behind by the horrible events of 1990s which had forced large number of people, including mainly Pandits, to leave their homes and hearths. She said that established potential that the Kashmir Pandit community has displayed and employed in emancipation of the society in the past is once again required to face the new situation. Mufti said that her party's focus is on building bridges between communities and uniting them for the welfare of everybody rather than emotionally exploiting one community or other for political survival. "We have enough bitterness and misgivings between us along community and sectarian lines but our coming generation has to work on our strong bonds of amity that have defined Kashmir through age", she added. Responding to the memorandum submitted to her by the Kashmiri Pandits, she said that while she would use her good offices for fulfillment of these demands, her dreams for the community go beyond these demands. She said that Pandits have to be stakeholder in formulating and implementing every plan that would be needed for moulding a new welfare state where everybody feel secured and empowered. PDP leader said her party, if given a mandate to govern the state, would carry forward the pragmatic policies to bring back the migrants to the Valley without any hype that unfortunately marked in agenda of other parties without any result on the ground.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
