| Govt exploiting KPs in garb of job package: KP groups | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, June 7: All State Kashmiri Pandit Confer-ence, Panun Kashmir and Non-Camp Migrant Coor-dination Committee, the frontline organisations of displaced Kashmiri Pandits, today alleged that the government was exploiting the economic vulnerability of the Kashmiri Pandit youth in the garb of employment package.
Addressing media persons here, the representatives of these organizations said that the Prime Minister's special employment package for the KP youth, instead of ameliorating the sufferings of the youth has become a source of worry and tension regarding their security and well being in Kashmir.
'The conditions attached to the employment package smack of a deep rooted conspiracy.
Further attempt of the government to link the employment package with the so-called return of the Kashmiri Pandits is to deny the suffering and privation that the Pandits have suffered in the last two decades of exile," they said, adding, "The exodus of the Kashmiri Pandit community is a political issue primarily and needs to be addressed politically keeping in view the geo-political aspirations of the displaced community."
They further said, "As the primary stakeholders of Kashmir, the government needs to politically engage the Pandits to find a solution to the problem of the community living in exile."
They pointed out that the government has yet to announce the additional three thousand jobs under the PM's employment package, adding that there is a need to immediate remove the conditions attached with the employment package as the conditions prevailing in Kashmir are no different from what existed at the time of exodus "On the one hand, the Centre is busy in sending signals to the separatists for talks and on the other it shies away from initiating dialogue with the Kashmiri Pandit community in exile.
This speaks of duplicity in the policies of the government regarding various sections of people of the Jammu and Kashmir state," the KP leaders alleged.
They cautioned the community to remain vigilant and not to allow itself as "cannon" fodder for the experimentation of the government's policy in Kashmir.
