| Bar concerned over settlement of NRKs in J&K | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, Sept 24: The Kashmir High Court Bar Association has expressed serious concern over alleged government programme for settlement of non-resident Kashmiris (NRKs) in the name of slum dwellers in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Government move to settle the non residents in Jammu and Kashmir on the pattern of the Israeli government is illegal and unconstitutional. The people of J&K are disturbed on the news as has appeared in the papers that the state government is going to settle 4.5 lakh slum dwellers in Jammu and Kashmir among whom none is a permanent resident of the state,” a spokesperson of the Bar said in a statement.
“The settlement of these non resident Kashmiris is in violation of the provisions of the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, spirit of Art 370 and the sate subject rules prevalent in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The aim and object of settlement of slum dwellers in Jammu and Kashmir is to create a vote bank by the congress leaders in Jammu region and change the demography of the state of Jammu and Kashmir which would lead to polarization with political consequences,” he added.
The Bar warned the government on this issue and said it objects such a move. “As a matter of fact in 1947 there has not been a single dweller recorded in the political and social history of the Jammu and Kashmir. After 1947 the government of India has pushed the slum dwellers in the State of Jammu and Kashmir especially in Jammu region who have no right to be settled in Jammu and Kashmir on legal and political reasons,” he alleged.
“Neither law permits such settlement of dwellers who are not state subject of J&K nor the disputed character of the state of J&K allows the government of India to change the demography of the state and thereto change the political nature of the dispute,” he added.
The Bar appealed the people of Jammu to resist such moves and visualize the repercussions of the government policy on their social fabric and economic interests. “Before the Jammuites feel the heat of this policy in the near future it is appropriate for them and other regions to rise to the occasion and force the government to desist from the policy of non-resident settlements in the state of J&K in the name of settlement of slum dwellers,” he said.
