| Kashmiri pandits request PMs intervention | | |
JAMMU: An amalgam of Kashmiri pandit organisations on Sunday urged the Prime Minister and the Congress to seriously consider the proposal for an Autonomous Development Council to address the community's aspirations.
"We want Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad to look into the merits of our proposal for an ADC for the 3.5 lakh migrants and clarify their stand on the issue," All-Party Migrant Coordination Committee chief Vinod Pandit said.
The APMCC - a conglomeration of 16 organisations - also asked Congress President Sonia Gandhi to seriously consider the proposal to "address the aspirations of the community".
Pandit said it had formulated a blueprint for the ADC and submitted it to President A P J Abdul Kalam, Leader of the Opposition L K Advani, the CPI-M and several think-tanks.
There was "no reponse" to the APMCC memorandum to the Prime Minister and Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on the encroachments of properties of the community in the Kashmir valley and "only the CPI-M replied to it", he claimed.
He said the Left party promised to take up the issue with the Union Government. On April 26, the body has submitted a memorandum signed by its general secretary Vijay Chikan containing a list of the individual properties of Kashmiri pandits along with the names of encroachers. |
