SRINAGAR, Feb 16: Satish Mahaldar, Chairman, Reconciliation, Return & Rehabilitations of Migrants has lamented that wrong in formation was dished out by the people at helm to the Parliament about the Kashmiri Pandits and issues related to the community.
In a statement, Mahaldar said that in 1989-1990 when genocide was committed against Kashmiri Pandits which led to the forced exodus of the community, V P Singh was heading the government with the support of BJP. He said the total number of Kashmiri Migrant families registered with the Relief & Rehabilitation department is 43,930.
“The Relief & Rehabilitation of Migrants Department (J&K) has reported that only 20,889 Kashmiri Pandit families are receiving cash relief out of which more than 5,000 are non -migrant political workers drawing cash relief fraudulently. These political workers are living in Kashmir and belong to the National Conference, PDP, Congress, BJP and others,” said Mahaldar.
Mahaldar said after the abrogation of Article 370 nothing has changed for Kashmiri Pandit migrants adding that in fact deliberate attempt is being made to sabotage the poor Kashmiri Pandits (KP) in Jammu & Kashmir. New Land laws were made while making Kashmiri Pandits as the scapegoat, he added.
“On February 19, 2020 when a KP delegation met Home Minister Amit Shah he promised them to resettle all Kashmiri Pandits in their respective 10 districts.
In 2018 Home Minister, former Governor, former advisors promised eight members KP delegation that all KPs would be rehabilitated back in the valley. However, till date nothing has happened. No separate budget has been allocated by GoI and the state government on the return & rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandit Migrants,” said Mahaldar. Mahaldar said that Kashmiri Pandits who did not leave valley since 1990 had been promised jobs and even the High Court in 2016 ruled in their favour and gave directions also, but till date nothing has happened. He said that 45 Kashmiri Pandit migrant candidates who have been selected for government jobs are not getting appointment letters adding that the aggrieved are on hunger strike since last 80 days with the government has not done anything.
