Confusion creeps into rehabilitation of displaced Pandits in Kashmir 4/9/2015 11:10:44 PM Early Times Report Jammu,Apr 9: An element of confusion has crept into the latest statement of Chief Minister,Mufti Mohd. Sayeed having agreed to identify and acquire land for setting up a separate township for Kashmiri displaced families and the subsequent clarification by the PDP leadership that the Chief Minister had not promised the Union Home Minister, Rajnath Singh,that the state Government will support separate township for the Kashmiri migrants in the valley. In fact the announcement, though at the unofficial level,that Chief Minister, Mufti Mohd.Sayeed, had informed Rajnath Singh that the state Government will make land available for setting up a separate township for Kashmiri Pandits had given a new issue to not only the separatists but to the National Conference also who have started berating the state and the central Government for resettling the Kashmiri migrants in a separate township in the Kashmir valley. During the previous NC-Congress coalition rule there was a plan to establish four areas where the Pandits could be rehabilitated after their return to the valley and a number of enclosures were being built in these areas. This was done after the Congress-led UPA Government and the NC-Congress coalition rule in Jammu and Kashmir had firmly opposed the demand for a separate homeland within the valley. And former Chief Minister,Omar Abdullah,has utilized the issue of separate township for Pandits for fulminating against the central and the state Governments on the plea that a separate township would result in Pandits living in a ghetto. Reports said that there is no definite policy on the rehabilitation of Pandits in the valley as far as the BJP led NDA Government is concerned. It is yet to be confirmed whether the BJP led central Government wants to follow the policy on Pandit rehabilitation framed by the Congress led UPA Government or support Mufti Sayeed's idea of facilitating rehabilitation of Pandits in their native villages so that the traditional spirit of Kashmiriyat was revived.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
