| KPs aghast over dastardly act on Kher’s support against corruption | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Apr 10: Entire displaced Kashmiri Pandits (KPs) on Sunday has said that it was aghast at the dastardly attack on the acting school and residence of noted film actor Anupam Kher in Mumbai.
Terming the attack as a “sign of frustration” and an “action laden with cowardice,” the community recognized the incident as an “ill-conceived” reaction to the actor’s open support to the mass movement against corruption.
Eminent members of the KP community and executive council of Panun Kashmir (PK), a frontline KP organisation convened a joint meeting and condemned the attack. The meeting was also joined by a number of PK activists in the other parts of the country as well as USA, UK and New Zealand via teleconference.
The meeting also described it as “an attempt to stifle the legitimate expression of a concerned Indian”.
The KP representatives while expressing great shock at the “failure” of political masters to gauge the popular mood of the common man in the country unanimously agreed that they recognized the incident as an “ill-conceived” reaction to the Kher’s open support to the movement against corruption.
Members of the Republican Party of India (Athawale) had pelted stones at Anupam Kher’s house at Juhu here on Saturday. They were dissenting his derogatory remarks against the Constitution.
PK convener Agnishekhar, in his address, condemned the “involved political class of the country for their brazen acts” to attempt silencing the democratic expression of the citizens of the country.
“The attack on the actor is nothing but an expression of frustration stemming out of the civil society’s endeavor of exposing the clandestine deals of the certain sections of Indian political class,” he maintained.
He also advised the political class of the country to draw lessons from the “immensely successful” agitation launched by Gandhian Anna Hazare and realize that in a democracy people’s voice would always reign supreme.
The community warned the political class that there arbitrary and self-opinioned conclusions would no longer impress the common masses of the country. It also expressed full sympathy with the veteran actor, whom it termed as not only a “community icon” but a role model for the entire country.
Recalling the number of occasions when the actor openly came out in support of the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community’s struggle in exile, the PK declared that entire community would rise in protest against any “unjustified and cowardly acts of intimidation” against the actor.
