RR&RM dismayed at rejection of request for NAVREH mela | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Mar 3: Reconciliation Return & Rehabilitations of Migrants (RR&RM) has expressed over the rejection of request for sanction of free transportation and lodging for the celebration of NAVREH ( New Year 2021 ) at Shri Mata Sharika Yatra and back to the village tour by the displaced Kashmiri Pandits between April 10 and 18. Chairman RR&RM Satish Mahaldar said that the step is in contravention and contrast to the general essence and stance of the central government that wants increased efforts to help in building the trust deficit between the two prominent communities of Kashmiri--the Pandits and the Muslims. Mahaldar said this year the organization proposes to celebrate the day as “Partnership for Peace– Dignity for All” which aims to highlight the importance of all segments of society working together to strive for peace. The aim is also to relive the memories of the religious-cultural gatherings which have been affected by the 30-year-exile period. Kashmiri Pandits have always believed in cohesiveness and togetherness. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi always shares wishes and love to the Kashmiri Hindu brethren on every Navreh with a heart full wish. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said that we will be the ones protecting the culture of Kashmir. A time will come when Kashmiri Pandits will be seen offering prayers at Mata Kheer Bhawani temple and Sufis will also be seen alongside them. The Modi government is committed to retaining the culture of Kashmir,” said Mahaldar. The RR&RM Chairman said that in March 2020 the central government introduced religious tour (yatra) in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir for Hindus & Sufi-followers adding the announcement was made by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Parliament. We are unable to understand why some selective elements in J&K administration are hell bent upon bringing a bad name to Prime Minister and Home Minister, he said. “We see a vicious conspiracy to prevent the resettlement of Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley in an orchestrated campaign launched by the J&K administration. Despite having various recommendations by Home Minister & Prime Minister, the J&K administration is not initiating any steps to promote respect, safety and dignity for everyone between various communities,” said Mahaldar. The RR&RM said the J&K government has forced the original aborigines in an involuntary process of cultural assimilation due to which the ethnic minority is left with no choice but to adopt the language, identity, norms, customs, traditions, perceptions, way of life and often religion and ideology of the established and generally larger community belonging to the dominant culture. |
