Kashmiri Pandits having first & prime stake in Kashmir : PK

Jammu, September 21 (Scoop News) -The members of Panun Kashmir expressed their indignation and utter surprise over the blatant discriminatory attitude demonstrated by the Central and State governments towards the Kashmiri Pandit community, which once again became vividly evident to every one, by not inviting the front line premier organization of the Kashmiri Pandits, the Panun Kashmir for talks, with the All Party Parliamentary delegation, currently on its special visit to the state.

Dr. Agnishekhar, the convener of Panun Kashmir in a meeting of the political affairs committee of Panun Kashmir, held today in Jammu, taking strong exception to this condemnable move of the government, termed it as a brazen negation of and disrespect to the seven lac ethnic Kashmiri Pandit community members.

He reiterated that the Kashmiri Pandit community is the worst victims and sufferers of Pan- Islamic terrorism and religious fanaticism, as the entire community with a history of over 5000 years of their belonging to and being the indigenous inhabitants of Kashmir , were hounded out of their hearths and homes by Islamist zealots and armed Jehadis in 1989-90.

Dr. Agnishekhar said that Kashmiri Pandits are having first and prime stake in Kashmir and sidelining and ignoring their aspirations and demands, has been once again proven, by turning a blind eye to the massive representative character of Panun Kashmir, by not inviting it for talks with the delegation which smacks of the mental bankruptcy and the hazy motivated intentions of the government. He said that Apex body was government orchestrated which has belied the expectations of the community members , proved and  reduced to a state of absolute redundancy, hence having no representative mandate from the community members, calling its members for talks amounted to a crude joke played with the community.

Lambasting the chicanery tactics played by the government, Dr. Agnishekhar said that as usual, the government has buckled under the pressure of the separatists, anti Indian forces and propounders of autonomy and self rule etc; as these elements feared exposure at the hands of Panun Kashmir, of their implicit involvement in and abetment to violence in Kashmir, albeit another face of Jehad of pelting stones on security forces and triggering vicious circle of violence , arson and loss of lives. He said that the prime manifestation of these anti India and anti secular forces has been the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits, coupled with overt and covert support of the state government, and  the exodus of the community needs full fledged reversal on a permanent basis and that  alone  shall form the basic structure on which can any solution to Kashmir problem be possible.

 He  further said that creation of a separate Homeland with full and complete writ of Indian government, Indian constitution and Indian values in Kashmir, for the exiled Kashmiri Pandits, has attained universal acceptability as the only solution to our exodus, genocide and perpetual religious apartheid. That separate Homeland in Kashmir being a painstaking solution and having become irretrievably an asserted proposition, has got to be taken a serious note of by the powers that be. He warned the Central and the state governments not to test the patience of the community any more and not subject their steadfast patriotism and peace loving nature to neglect, discrimination, denial and humiliation as that would boomerang into grave repercussions, the entire onus of which shall lie on the government.
