| Heerath festivity symbol of Kashmir's unique identity : NC | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 27: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference on Sunday said that it was committed to the honourable and dignified return of Kashmiri Pandits to the Valley.
This was stated by the senior party leader and former Speaker Mubarak Gul while addressing series of Maha Shivratri Milan functions convened by the party Minority Wing President MK Yogi at Purkhoo, Muthi, Boota Nagar Kashmiri Pandit Camps in Jammu.
Echoing the sentiments of KP community, Gul said Kashmiri Pandit youth are staring at diminishing job opportunities. The plight of KP youth, Yogi said was no better than than their Kashmiri Muslim brethren. He rued that incumbent administration has only been indulging in lip service to satiate the issues confronted by the unemployed KP youth.
"The incumbent administration lacks a comprehensive and practical road map to adress the grievances of our youth. KP youth are fed up of hollow slogans now. All they want now is an end to the politics of bitterness propelled by the communal forces. Our KP youth want to walk shoulder to shoulder with the youth of other communities of J&K and achieve their anticipated career goals and live a decent live,” he said.
Gul further said that it was important to understand that rebuilding of the Kashmiri identity in this modern, integrated digital age cannot be done in isolation.
Addressing the series of events Yogi said, "Maha Shivratri is an age old festivity that has been celebrated by Kashmiri Pandits for thousands of years is a symbol of communal harmony for ages. Ours is an inclusive development agenda and we would continue to play a constructive role to mitigate the sufferings of our Kashmiri Pundit brothers and sisters. Pluralism and unity in diversity have been the cultural mainstay of Kashmiri society. Time has come to fight divisive forces which are hell bent to divide J&K on communal, regional and linguistic basis," he said.
Among others Ashok Koul, Amit Kaul, Dr Aamina, Shadi Lal, Bharti and Neeru were also present in the series of events organized following the upcoming Maha Shivratri festivity. |
