| Holding talks with Pak leads to lowering of national pride" | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 25:
Even as the foreign secretary level talks between New Delhi and Islamabad got underway in New Delhi today, a joint forum of three main organisations of displaced Kashmiri Pandits (KPs) -- ASKPC, Panun Kashmir and JK Vichar Manch -- opposed the parleys, saying "this is an abject surrender before the secessionist forces that are bent upon pursuing divisive agenda".
Displaying placards, several displaced Kashmiri Hindus, including women, gathered outside CBI office here in the morning before the scheduled timing of talks in New Delhi and held a demonstration amid raising of anti-Pak slogans.
Leaders of these frontal KP organisations held the view that no talks with Pakistan could lead to "substantive results" unless it stopped aiding and abetting terrorism against India. "The talks at this juncture are meaningless as Pakistan has so far failed in bringing to justice the perpetrators of 26/11
carnage," they added. ASKPC president A N Vaishnavi, Panun Kashmir president Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo and JK Vichar Manch national vice-president R L Bhat held the common view that instead of focussing on such "reduntant" talks, India ought to find ways to get Pakistan declared a "terrorist state".
They said the recent killings of sikhs in Peshawar were a glaring example of the support that the terrorists were receiving from the Pak government.
They said it was unthinkable to bring back the militants, who had gone across the Line of Control (LoC) for arms training, under the garb of "infamous" surrender policy at a time when the situation in Kashmir had further deteriorated. The arrangement of Kashmiri secessionist leaders' meeting with the Pak foreign secretary before the holding of talks virtually led to the lowering of the national pride before the
"disruptive" forces, they added.
"The Kashmiri Pandit community, being the primary victim of Pak-sponsored terrorism and also the main stakeholders of Kashmir, condemn and reject any dialogue which is aimed at appeasing the Pak-supported fundamentalist and terrorist groups. We hold Islamabad responsible for the mayhem in
Kashmir. The U-turn taken by New Delhi under US pressure has brought its diplomatic and political position at a new low internationally," they opined.
They said being the indigenous people of Kashmir, they would always uphold their rightful and first claim on the territory of Kashmir and continue to fight for their "geo-political"
