The SANKALP YATRA, which left Jammu on November 25 last reached Delhi yesterday where it was received by Delhi Unit of Pannun Kashmir Movement. The Yatra has already covered the states of J&K, Punjab, Himachal and the UT of Chandigarh.
The 50-member delegation of the Sankalp Yatra visited Jalianwalan Bagh, Durbar Sahib and Durgiana Temple at Amritsar. The KP Sabha at Amritsar received the Yatra. Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, President, PKM was presented a ‘Saropa’ by the Head Granthi of the Durbar Sahib, who also organized a ‘special Ardas’ for the success of the Yatra. The Granthi and the office bearers of the Durbar Sahib also honoured the office bearers of the Kashmiri Sikh Displaced Forum. The members of the Yatra paid their obeisance at the sanctum sanctorum of Harminder Sahib. The contingent took an oath at Jalinawalan Bagh and paid tributes to the freedom fighters on the occasion. The members of the delegation in Amritsar distributed large number of written material and also paid their respects at the Durgiana Temple.
The Kashmiri Sahayak Sabha received the Yatra at Chandigarh while KP Sabha received it at Ludhiana. The members of the delegation also visited Mohali and Pinjore, besides visiting some important Ashrams and temples at these places. Swami Vivekananda Sr. Secondary School at Karnal organized a programme in honour of the Yatra.
While speaking at various places, Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo said that the SANKALP YATRA is a political pilgrimage aiming to rekindle the homeland thought process and struggle in the Kashmiri Pandit community and give a fresh momentum to the political movement of the Kashmiri Pandits; to bring to the fore, yet again at national level, the issues about the ethnic cleansing and exodus of the community in a forceful and practical manner by conducting a journey of about 7,000 km; to make mass awareness about the human rights violations and issues pertaining to the genocidal action against the Pandits and the other minorities of the Jammu and Kashmir State.
He said that the Yatra also aims to involve the youth in the political struggle of the community by making them a part of the two-month long Yatra and train them in a consistent and coordinated manner, besides reclaiming the right of KPs on the territory of Kashmir as the indigenous people of Kashmir by initiating this political initiative. The demand of Homeland, he said, remains relevant in all situations for resettlement of the community in Kashmir for which the Government of India is asked to initiate dialogue with the representatives of the community. |
