| Endorsement to return formula setback to PK | | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu,Sep 4: The endorsement of return package by Apex committee to Government for Kashmiri migrants has given a serious jolt to Pannun Kashmir separate homeland demand for Pandits in valley.
Out of 45 Apex committee members 41 were present in September 3 Apex committee which was held at Hotel Asia. Except Moti Koul of All India Kashmiri Samaj(AIKS), one or two members including H.L. Chatta of ASKPC all others fully endorsed the Government’s proposal on return.
The proposal as per the Revenue, Relief and Rehabilitation Minister, Raman Bhalla will be submitted to centre for approval and grant of funds so that PM’s return package will be given a practical shape.
Though there is no unanimity among the cross sections of KPs on the return formula, various Pandit organizations have adopted wait and watch formula instead of over reacting to the move.
However some KP leaders as well as all three factions have tooth and nail opposed the formula and termed it a sell out by the Govt. While making a dig at Apex committee members they term them as agents of Government who have played with the larger interests of community.
The Panun Kashmir which stands for Homeland and Margdarshan resolution of 1991 in this regard has made it clear that Pandits can’t return to Kashmir unless and until Homeland within valley is carried out for them. Accusing the Kashmiri Muslims of rejecting the co-existence and composite culture, the PK is of opinion that Pandits can’t return to their homes and hearths under prevailing conditions to face another exodus later.
“The PK stands for a separate homeland with union territory status where there is free flow of Indian Constitution and community will not budge an inch from this demand” said Ramesh Manwati a PK leader. He asked the community to be vigilant from vested inter-interests within who are playing with the cause of community.
Kashmiri Pandit conference(KPC) Chief Kundan Kashmiri who termed the Apex committee members as agents of Government said no decision can be thrusted on the community. He said “we had been forced to flee from valley and we will not compromise on our future”.
He said those who are siding with Government are traitors but they will be rejected by the people maintaining that they are with truth and will emerge victorious, Kashmiri said Pandav’s were only five people but at last they defeated the Army of Koravs in Mahabharata.
He however appreciated Dr. R.L. Bhat of Vichar Manch and Sanjay Saraf of Lok janshakti Party who both are Apex Committee members for not attending the September 3 meeting and taking a principled stand.
