| KPs scoff Prime Minister’s statement on Kashmir | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
New Delhi, Aug 11:Roots in Kashmir, a global frontline organization of displaced Kashmiri Pandits today criticized the Prime Minister’s statement on the emerging situation in Kashmir valley. “The approach of the Prime Minister is naïve to say the least” said the groups’ coordinator Sanjay Peshin.
“To offer an employment package as an alternative to a political solution shows how little the powers understand about the complexity of the Kashmir issue” he added.
The statement further said, “time and again Syed Ali Shah Geelani and all other separatists have been clear and unambiguous that it is not for development or for jobs that the Kashmiri Muslims are fighting, yet strangely the Prime Minister has assigned the ex-RBI Governor the job of reintegration of Kashmiris to the ‘mainstream of Indian Polity’. It is like fitting a square peg into a round hole.”
The need of the hour is to strengthen the democratic and secular forces in the state of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. But, the Prime Minister chose to play the soft ball by assuaging the feeling of a small section of Kashmiri Muslims and completely ignoring the larger peace loving populace of the state.
Any devolution of powers in the form of Autonomy or self-rule would be playing into the hands of separatists. The minorities would feel completely unsafe and insecure if such a step is taken and the Government of India should prepare itself for far bigger exoduses than the one of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990. The government should take on board the Buddhists, Shias, Gujjars, Dogras, Pandits, Sikhs and not just the separatists.
The statement also said, unless article 370 is removed and free flow of Indian Constitution is allowed in the state, the feeling of alienation among the Kashmiri Muslim youth is only going to grow.
If Indian enterprises are allowed to set shop in Kashmir there would be no need of a C Rangarajan Committee at all because there would be abundance of jobs and opportunities in the beleaguered state.
