Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 9: Film actor Rahul Bhat's assertion that Kashmiri Muslims suffered more as compared to the Kashmiri Hindus has not gone down well with the internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus and their organizations, including Panun Kashmir. And for very valid reasons. The other day Rahul Bhat willfully undermined the religious cleansing and sufferings of his own community while shooting his film "Fitoor" in Kashmir and said that the Kashmiri Hindus have suffered less and Kashmiri Muslims more in the Valley. The statement was so irrational and provocative that it only rubbed salt on the wounds of the internally-displaced community of Kashmiri Hindus and it naturally evoked a befitting response from the persecuted and hounded out community. Over three lakh Kashmiri Hindus have been living in Jammu and other places in the country since early 1990, when the fanatics in Kashmir, backed to the hilt by Pakistan, terrorized them and forced them to quit Kashmir.
Dismissing contemptuously as unfortunate and provocative the statement of Rahul Bhat and terming him as a rank opportunist, the Panun Kashmir on said: "Kashmiri Pandits are not the victims of natural calamities like earthquakes, floods and snow storms, but the victims of manmade calamity of communalism that subjected the community to holocaust and genocide in 1989-90. By comparing the two different situations he is acting as the fifth columnist and indulging in money making by trampling upon the religious cleansing of the Kashmiri Pandit genocide to earn easy money in terms of his film". How could Bhat equate the "suffering of the victims of the 2014 floods in Kashmir with the religious cleansing of the Kashmiri Pandits in 1990 which is the comparison of unequal?, the Panun Kashmir also asked. The Panun Kashmir only hit the nail on the head by saying what it said to show Bhat his rightful place and put things in perspective. In fact, the Panun Kashmir charged Bhat with flirting with those who were responsible for the exodus of the minority community from Kashmir. Bhat is only seeking to mint money by siding with those responsible for the migration of the minority community from Kashmir, the Panun Kashmir, in fact, said.
The Panun Kashmir not only condemned Bhat and rejected his uncalled for assertion, but also reiterated that the internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus will go back to their original home only if Kashmir valley is bifurcated and a separate homeland invested with Union Territory status created. "Kashmiri Pandits have declared time and again that they will return to their ancestral Homeland on their own conditions that will guarantee the protection of their life and limb as envisaged in the Margdarshan resolution adopted by the KP community in 1991," the Panun Kashmir very candidly said, and added that the likes of Bhat should live in and operate from Kashmir instead of "settling in Mumbai". "If he is so confident about the brotherhood and communal harmony in Kashmir now, he should operate from Kashmir," the Panun Kashmir said.
It needs to be noted that there are many Rahul Bhats in the displaced community, who have been making common cause with the extremist and communal forces in the valley to promote their own vested interests at the cost of their own community. The Panun Kashmir has done a right thing by tearing into Rahul Bhat and reiterating that the community would return to its homeland only if a separate homeland for it is set up within the Kashmir Valley where the Indian constitution flows freely.
