| Several organisations demand setting up of J&K Temple Board | | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Sep 30:Extending support to All Party Migrant Coordination Committee on its
six-point agenda, seven organisations today demanded setting up of a
board for temples and religious properties in Jammu and Kashmir on the
pattern of Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee and Muslim Waqf Board.
"We fully support APMCC for its forthcoming indefinite hunger strike
from October 7 in support of six-point charter of demands including
introduction of shrines and temples bill in the Assembly," General
Secretary of J-K Kranti Dal, Preetam Sharma told reporters here.
The seven organisations, including Sri Ram Sena, Freedom Fighters
Association and Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh, have extended their support to
the indefinite hunger strike.
They have also expressed their willingness to join the indefinite
hunger strike from October 7 here.
"The passage of Kashmir Temples and Shrines Bill in the J-K Assembly
is a must to wrest control of the temples from the unscrupulous
elements and bodies," Dharmath Trust Sudhar Sangarsh Samiti's Thakur
Karnail Chand said.
The Bill should cover the whole of J-K and not only Kashmir, besides
representation of local people in temple Boards, he said.
The APMCC had served an ultimatum up to September 30 to the state and
central governments to declare a time-frame for initiating process of
considering their six-point charter of demands.
Some of their demands include talks with Pakistan to facilitate visit
to Shardha Peeth in PoK, probe into various temple land encroachments,
passing of the pending Temples and Shrines Bill in Legislative
Assembly and special employment package for non-migrant Hindus of the
Kashmir Valley.
