| With boycott, PK lost opportunity to put up homeland demand before APD | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 5: With their boycott to meeting with All parties Parliamentary Delegation which here today the two factions of Panun Kashmir have missed a golden opportunity to keep their view point before the APD headed by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
The decision has not been taken well by the members of the KP community as well as other nationalist organizations in the State saying that decision of PK to boycott the visiting delegation was neither in the national interests nor in the interests of the displaced Pandit community.
With their rigid stand the community has been always distanced from mainstream said Ramesh Kumar a camp inmate of Jagti. He said it was high time for PK to highlight their demand before the ADP which included the members from Left and other Opposition parties that continued violence in Valley and rejection of co-existence by the separatist groups who dominate the show in Kashmir has compelled the Panun Kashmir to demand separate homeland within Valley with UT status for over seven lakh Kashmiri Pandits, he added.
Ramesh asked is there any fun of boycott by two factions of PK when one faction led by Ashwani Chrungoo met the APD and highlighted the demands of the community in the same slot of time which was given to the other organizations. If he could submit the memorandum and demand the re-=organization of the State with separate Homeland for Pandits in Valley what harm was to the other two factions of PK in highlighting their view point before the delegation, he added.
Not only Ramesh but a faction of unemployed KP youth who had giving interviews over two years back under PM package but were still waiting for issuance of appointment orders said that when the people who claim to represent the community take a rigid stand in meeting the government representatives and put forth their problems what good the community can expect from them in future, said Sunil a displaced youth in non camp area.
PK is fighting for separate homeland and is this demand to be kept confined on papers only or to be put to be put forcefully before the government. This was a golden opportunity for the PK leaders to tell the GOI representatives that the community had seen worst times than today during 1989-90 after terrorism gripped the Valley and they were hounded out from there to take refuge in camps outside Valley. They could have openly told the delegation that nothing changed for the community in last 27 years and after the Union government floated the idea of constructing colonies for rehabilitation of Pandits within Valley they reacted to it by launching a mass movement and taking entire Kashmir Valley to ransom. So the homeland with UT status was the only viable solutions to the plight of the community, he added.
This was an opportune time for the PK leadership to put its demand forcefully before the Government and made it lakh displaced Pandits were the main party to Kashmir issue and their aspirations be taken into consideration before going to take any decision to settle the issue but they lost the opportunity. Moreover the PK leadership could have also apprised the delegation about the day to day problems of displaced people living as refugees in Jammu and other parts of the country and stressed on taking the effective steps in settling them, he added.
By issuing statements and giving press conferences and avoiding table negotiations can't be a solution, said Rajesh Kaul a KP activist. Those who avoid meeting with the APD or any other government delegation just for ego reasons can't claim to be representatives of the community in distress on whom the Pandits can remain dependent, he added. |
