| AIKS hails centre's decision to ban JKLF | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 23: All India Kashmiri Samaj (AIKS) has hailed the central government's decision to ban Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF).
A resolution welcoming the union government's decision to ban JKLF was passed today in a meeting of AIKS held today at New Delhi under the chairmanship of its president Col Tej K Tikoo. More importantly, AIKS welcomes the Government's statement which, for the first time, acknowledged that Kashmiri Pandits were purged out of the Kashmir Valley because of their being subjected to genocide in 1989-90.
It may be mentioned that according to the fact-sheet presented to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) by the State of Jammu and Kashmir,719 Hindus had been killed. The report states, "Due to the targeted attacks by the militants against the innocent civilians in the early years of the ongoing militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, coupled with calls by Islamist terrorist groups to Kashmiri Pandits to leave the Valley, the vast majority of them and other minority communities were forced to migrate."
AIKS, an apex organization of global Kashmiri Pandits, along with other various Kashmiri Pandit organizations and individuals, like Rajinder Premi, presented a comprehensive case, in which they pleaded with the NHRC to declare the events preceding the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, and those that continued till much after they had evacuated the Valley, as 'genocide', as defined by the International Convention, to which India is a signatory.
In view of the foregoing, the displaced Kashmiri Pandits see the change in the governments stand as a very positive development. What is more important is the fact that it has not shied away from naming JKLF as the main culprit for KPs genocide. |
