| Return of Pandits should not be under police protection: Cong | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, May 26: Amid a row over return of Kashmiri Pandits, Congress today said it should not be done under police protection but an atmosphere should be created so that they can live in the Valley like they did prior to migration. The partys national spokesperson Raj Babbar accused the Centre as well as the Jammu and Kashmir government of indulging in "rhetoric and drama" over the issue.
"We want that things (regarding the return of Kashmiri Pandits) should not be confined to only papers but a conducive atmosphere should be made so that when the Kashmiri Pandit returns, his security and safety should be ensured," he told reporters here. "Their return should not be under the shadow of guns, under the protection of police. They should be able to roam freely in the markets with dignity," Babbar said.
His comments come amidst stiff opposition by separatists and some others to the governments reported proposal for setting up colonies to resettle the Kashmiri Pandits. He said Kashmiri Pandits should get an environment which was like they used to get when they lived in the Valley prior to migration.
Asked to comment on the issue of Amitabh Bachchan being slammed for his proposed participation in government programme tomorrow, the Congress spokesperson said, "Why should we target someone who is getting ready to be targeted himself? "We have nothing to do with it, neither we targeted. The question is that his name surfaced in Panama Leaks and it was not Congress which brought him into it. If his name has come in the Leaks, then it is the BJP government which has to give an answer." |
