| KP’s can’t be forced back to Valley under present conditions: KSD | | | New Delhi | Apr 27
Kashmiri Samiti while partially welcoming the PM’s Rs.1600 crore for Kashmir Pandits has expressed apprehensions that the scheme in its present form would not bring in the desired results.
The Samiti in an emergent meeting here on Saturday which was attended by almost all executive members under the Presidentship of Dr .L. N. Dhar, accorded conditional welcome to the PM’s package for KP’s and said that Rs.1600 crore package would be spent for the return of the Kashmiri Pandits to the Valley.
The Executive Council has said that the economic package has been a long-standing demand of the Kashmir Samiti as lakhs of Kashmiri Pandits have suffered because of the exodus from the Valley but it is unfortunate that the package announced is based on the condition of the return of the Pandits to the Valley.
Dr Dhar said that the stand of the Samiti, in this regard, has been clear throughout and that the return can be possible only when the Kashmir issue is permanently resolved and till such time the community members need to be rehabilitated at their present places of stay and the benefit of the package announced by the Prime Minister be given to the displaced persons irrespective of their places of living.
He further added that the Government has no authority to force the community to go back to the Valley, in the present circumstances, and it cannot stop the benefits on this ground.
We don’t feel the situation is conducive when the KPs can return to valley and can live a free life there It is ironic, in such circumstances, to ask the Kashmiri Pandits to return by providing them the present package” said one of the executive members of the Kashmiri Samiti. |
