| Kashmiris were never against Yatra: Third Front | | | Early Times Reporter
Srinagar | June 24
State Secretary CPI (M) M.Y.Tarigami, Hakim Mohd. Yaseen, President PDF and Gh. Hassan Mir, President JKDP in a joint statement has said that statements given by some leaders an ordinary official Shri Arun Kumar are derogatory incriminating.
The statements are highly provocative and has hurting the sentiments of entire Kashmir society by an ordinary official Shri Arun Kumar and the venomous utterances by Sang Parivar Chief ; Ashok Khajuria deserve to be condemned unequivocally by every responsible citizen of India. Kashmiris ; particularly muslims ; have been voluntarily aiding , helping and facilitating Yatra for centuries not out of any compulsion or coercion but as a matter of their deep faith in multiculturalism ; religious tolerance and brotherhood of humankind. Kashmiris have continued carrying physically weak and old pilgrims on their backs to the Cave at the risk of their own lives.
The State Sangh Parivar has been although uneasy about this uniqueness of unity in diversity. The Parivar is hell bent on destroying this unity and divide people on communal lines; horizontally as well as vertically; for petty electoral politics.
Given their faith Kashmiris have never been and can never be against Yatra. This is not because of Sinhas, Togadias, Khajuria, Kumars, Shiv Saniks or VHP. This is purely because of their faith in strong values they have inherited from the great saints and seers. Kashmiris are against politicization as well as communalization of the Yatra. They are against illegal transfer of huge forest land to the Board in ecologically most fragile zone. The State particularly the valley of Kashmir can not afford vandalization of its resources.
The transfer is unwarranted because Yatra was there even when no Board existed. It was managed jointly by Muslims and Hindus. The secular electoral politics can not in any case afford prejudices propagated by the Sangh Parivar. We ask the Parivar to desist from adding fuel to the fire.
While condemning the statement made by the BJP Chief with ; we reiterate our demand to immediately sack Arun Kumar , rescind the land transfer order and place before the public actual facts pertaining to entire issue. |
