JFI supports the Ladakhi cause: Hari Om

Early Times Report

JAMMU, Aug 14: The Jammu for India (JFI), which has been spearheading the nationalist movement in Jammu province to defend and promote further the national interest in J&K and preserve the unity and integrity of this strategic region, on Sunday extended its unflinching support to the Ladakhi cause and reassured the people of Ladakh that the JFI will leave no stone unturned to get their rational and national demand conceded by the Union Government. "The JFI is with the Ladakhis," said the JFI.
A statement to this effect was issued here today by Prof Hari Om, Convener of the JFI. In his statement, Prof Hari Om said that the JFI was in complete accord with their demand seeking Union Territory status as well as separate legislature for the region and separation from Kashmir and freedom from the Kashmiri leadership.
"The demand of the Ladakhi Buddhist association, Anjuman Imamia and Christian Association that their region be granted UT status is genuine and it must be conceded forth with," said Prof Hari Om, adding this is the only alternative available to end Kashmiri domination over Ladakh and enable the peaceful and god-fearing Ladakhis to lead a peaceful, dignified and secure life in their own region. Their demand is 70-year-old, he said, and added that it was unfortunate the callous and Valley-centric New Delhi instead of conceding this demand linked their fate with the oppressive and discriminatory Kashmiri leadership.
Prof Hari Om said that the JFI endorsed the Ladakhi view that their "geo-political and geo-cultural aspirations are not consistent with those of the Kashmiri Muslim leadership" and that the separation of Ladakh from Kashmir was imperative to help the Ladakhis preserve their age-old identity, culture and civilization.
The JFI convener said that the people of Jammu province have also been facing the kind of threats the Ladakhis have been facing since 1947 and asserted that it was New Delhi more than Kashmiri leadership which added to the miseries and woes of the nationalists in the state by putting all the eggs in the Kashmiri basket without realizing the dangerous ramifications of its policies.
"This policy will not do. New Delhi has to change its policy realizing that Jammu and Kashmir are the state's two bigger regions, which house no less than 6 million nationalists. The JFI rejects as anti-Jammu, anti-Ladakh and anti-refugees the policies which New Delhi has been following since 1947 to pamper one particular Kashmir-based community," said Prof Hari Om.
The JFI convener also appealed and urged al the nationalists to get united and stand up so that they were able to avert the impending disaster.
