Early Times Report
Jammu, Sep 14: Panun Kashmir observed the balidan divas today as a mark of tribute to its martyrs in a large function at Abhinav Theatre. In Jammu the function began with the hoisting of Panun Kashmir flag on the dias by a team of organizing secretaries. Floral tributes were paid to the martyrs and on the occasion a framed picture with 20 chinar leaves depicting the 20 years of exile was showcased. Two minutes silence was observed in the memory of the KP martyrs and holocaust dhun, especially composed by noted musician Kuldeep Saproo was played.
On the occasion the sangam musical group headed by Ram Krishan Kitchloo made a presentation of a Kashmir devotional song based on gayatri mantra. This item enthralled the audience.
Convenor Dr. Agnishekhar while speaking on the occasion in his key not address said that the only long term solution to the successive exodus of Kashmiri pandits is a separate homeland in Kashmir with free flow of Indian constitution. In the mean while the government needs to address the demands of KP’s related to employment, relief and rehabilitation of all section of the displaced community Panun Kashmir would strive for the consolidation of the political opinion of the community for the achievement of its long term and short term goals and in this direction Panun Kashmir has set an example before the community. Panun Kashmir would also mobilize the political opinion in national and international forums as was demonstrated by the passage of a resolution in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly recently. Dr. Agnishekhar made a scatting attack on the recent statements of the PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti demanding as “Azad Riyasat” in J&K. In response to the demand of KP’s for a ministerial berth in the J&K cabinet, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that he does not believe in tokenism. Dr. Agnishekhar said that KP’s now do not have even a token presence in the J&K government. The government of India in all this has maintained silence and this encourages the secessionist forces in J&K.
Ashwani Kumar Chrangoo in his presidential address emphasized on the horizontal expansion of the organization with emphasis on organizational and financial discipline. Shri Chrangoo said that Panun Kashmir in the days to come would strive to achieve targets related to membership. All units would complete the membership targets of 10000 by the annual convention to be held on 28th December ie. Home land day in Jammu. Chrangoo said that in the days to come Panun Kashmir would hold an inter-community dialogue. Emphasis was given to make associate membership of Panun Kashmir for non-kashmiri’s also. For this purpose Panun Kashmir leadership would tour the length and breadth of the country.
Kailash Mehra, the iconic Kashmiri singer and Sharda Samman awardee enthralled the audience with her devotional songs. She was accompanied on Tabla by the noted artist Anil Koul. A Kavita Path was also made by Aagosh. A vote of thanks was presented by R. Raina.
