Early Times Report
srinagar, June 17: As separatist leaders in Kashmir propose talks with migrant Kashmiri Pandits (KPs) over their re-settlement issue in Kashmir, KPs seeing no strategy in suggestion proposed by separatist said that talks would prove fruitless.
Thrusting aside recommendations of Mirwaiz Omar Farooq that a group of separatist factions will talk with KPs over controversial settlement issue, Pandits today said that dialogue suggestion proposed by separatist leaders at first place lack strategy to pave way for settlement of KP's in Valley. President Kashmiri Pandits Sangarsh Samiti (KPSS)Sanjay Tikoo told early times that "let Separatists first tell us how will one KP family live in a village where he at the time of migration in 1990 sold his everything including his house and then only we would think of sitting with them (separatists) to sort out settlement issue of KP's." "Separatist leaders have problem with composite townships, right. But do they know that 90-95% KP's at the time of migration sold their everything,where will they live now, is there any B-Plan with Separatist leaders to help KPs live at their ancestral places,are they ready to offer them (KPs) their own Houses to live, Has anybody among them did so far."Sanjay Tikoo said.
Tikoo further said that "it is not easy for KP families to forget everything and go back to his villages where their kiths and kins were killed by some people still roaming freely.
Earlier Mirwaiz Omar Farooq in a statement has said that it has been agreed-upon among separatist leaders including himself and Syed Ali Shah Geelani that a group would be formed among separatist that will initiate a process of dialogue with the Kashmiri Pandits to understand their concerns as well as the assurances they need with regard to their return to the valley.
Mirwaiz had said that "from our side we ask them (KPS) to meet the Pandits living here and see for themselves that they are most secure living side by side with other communities rather than in separate colonies." Pandits in reply said that some KPs actually not willing to return Kashmir permanently are doing politics over the issue and hence create problems for those willing to return to valley once they are guaranteed every sort of facility and security by administration. The KP's settlement issue is once again in news headlines these days after the Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti from the floor of house citing security reasons openly supported the demand of KPs to establish composite townships at various places for time being. Separatist factions of Kashmir opposing the move have already announced protest programmes, however today they also came up with dialogue suggestion.
