EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, July 30:
Panun Kashmir (PK) has expressed deep anguish and shock over the reported barbaric act of chopping off hair and disrespecting turban of a Sikh youth of Tral Village of Kashmir by an unruly group of majority community.
Addressing the conclave of party workers PK convener Dr Agnishekhar condemned the ideology of religious fundamentalism and brazen communalism of the forces responsible for such inhuman act.
This is second such incident after July 12, when in Gaddapora Tral, one Sikh school boy Amandeep Singh was also beaten and his hair chopped off by a similar unruly group of youngsters. This approach of the mob once again reflects the deceitful mindset of Jihadi forces with regards to non-muslim minorities in Kashmir Valley.
The PK convener termed these happenings as a well calculated attempt to further the Jihadi agenda of complete religious cleansing of all non-muslim minorities in Kashmir.
Dr Agnishekhar took serious exception to the state government recommendation to the central government that the remaining 3,000 jobs of PM’s employment package for Kashmir Pandit youth, which has been kept in the state sector be included in the central sector in view of dearth of financial resources and some state constitutional provisions which restrict their employment in the state sector. This is utterly absurd and exposes once again the NC’s traditional policy of communalism in disguise.
He said Government of India should examine how state government on one hand is trying to expedite the process of formulation and implementation of economic and rehabilitation packages for thousands of surrendered militants and stone-pelters.
Dr Agnishekhar questioned the state government’s decision to constitute a commission of enquiry which will go into the genesis of the circumstances that led to recent seventeen deaths during the ongoing stone pelting row in the valley. This decision is fraught with serious implications and is a part of a deliberate design to malign, implicate and discourage the security forces.
He said that the chief minister Omar Abdullah has publicly accused PDP leaders and other “vested Interests” of fomenting such trouble and should muster courage to initiate legal proceedings against them.
Dr Agnishekhar urged GOI not to take prevailing deteriorating situation lightly as it has acquired serious dimensions with regard to fate and future of Sovereignty, territorial integrity of India in the J&K state.
Meanwhile, Jammu Province People’s Forum (JPPF)-an amalgam of various organizations of Jammu, has condemned the recent incident of misbehave with a Sikh Youth in Kashmir valley and urged state government to take stern action against the culprits here today.
Addressing the media persons, convener JPPF Paviter Singh expressed shock over the tragic incident which took place at Tral.
He further said that anti-national elements who allegedly misbehaved with a Sikh youth by cutting his hair has shaken the very fabrics of secularism of this trouble torn state adding that the guilty must be identified and brought to justice.
He also criticized the move of state government by announcing compensation to family members of 17 youth killed in recent firing and further added that patriotic youths killed during Amarnath land row should also be given same compensation.
Prominent among those who were present on the occasion included Inderjit Khajuria, Zahoor-ud-Din, Gajan Singh, Uday Chand, Rajesh Kesari, Sunil Sethi and Agnishekhar besides others.
Prof. Bhim Singh, Chairman JKNPP strongly condemned the incident in Tral, Kashmir where a Sikh gentleman was insulted and his religious faith was dishonoured by some anti-social miscreants. While condemning the incident the Panthers Party Chairman praised the Sikh fraternity for showing patience and demonstrating secular fervour during their strong protest in Kashmir, Jammu and elsewhere.
The Panthers Party Chief demanded stern action against the culprits appealing the majority community to condemn such incidents which attempt to disturb century’s old brotherhood and communal harmony in the state.
Hundreds of BJP activists Led by Jammu Distt. President Rajesh Gupta took out a protest rally against the unfortunate act that took place in Tral.
The party activists also burnt the effigy of the State government for its total failure in protecting the minorities in valley.
Rajesh Gupta, while condemning this act, said that after forcing out the Kashmiri Hindus from the valley, attempts are now being made to insult, harass and force the other minorities to leave their homes and hearths in the valley. Describing it as a “Talibani approach”, he said originated from Pakistan, reached PoK and now in Kashmir. It needs to be checked immediately and with a firm hand before the situation gets worsened in the state.
