Jammu, July 04 (Scoop News)- Muslim Rashtrya Manch National Co-Convenor and Incharge Jammu-Kashmir, Himachal, Punjab and Chandigarh Er. Ghulam Ali, has severely criticized the reported statement of one Mufti Bashir–u-Din from Kashmir valley that distinct clusters being established for Kashmiri Pandits return back to valley and would not countenance any move which would lead to dilution of Article 370.
His purported statement that creation of clusters would lead to diminution of majority communities belief in the Valley is patently misrepresentation of Islam, said Mr. Ali. He added that Islam’s glory and its concept of brotherhood would get further enhanced in the valley by the return of minuscule minority that had been forced to leave in early ninety.
Mode and manner of their return does not matter but what matters is that nothing should be uttered by anyone including those who claims to be knowledgeable of Islam which would create apprehensions and doubts in the minds of Kashmiri Pandits. If Kashmiri pundits are settled in clusters, in the valley that will in no way affect the majority community religious beliefs and would infact further make them feel proud of their faith. Linking the return of the KPs with the Article-370 only are meant to sow the seeds of doubt and apprehension in the minds of majority community so that hurdles are created in the return of the Kashmiri Pandits to the valley. Ghulam Ali advised Mufti to not to indulge in politics and confuse the people in the name of religion.
BJP Leader and the former IGP Farooq Khan also criticized Mufti Bashiruddin Ahmad for his anti remarks on initiatives of Prime Minister Modi for the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir Valley and called upon the nationalists including right thinking Kashmiri Muslims to condemned the despicable words of self styled grand Mufti of Kashmir who opposed the return of Kashmiri Pandits to their place of origin, Kashmir and demanded stern legal action against the Mufti Bashiruddin for his anti Kashmiri Pandit remarks.
Addressing the youth and the prominent citizens at Sainik Colony-Jammu, Khan said Kashmir Pandits are the symbols of Indian Nationalism, peace and prosperity and the anti peace elements, those tried their level best to destroyed the suffism and Kashmiriyat for last 25 years; are afraid of the return of Kashmiri Pandits to the Kashmir Valley and by making such a statements are trying to create the fear psychosis in the society. Hitting out at grand Mufti Bashiruddin, Khan said some religious leaders in Kashmir are the mere actors and are being directed by their bosses sitting across the border. He said Kashmiri Muslims always welcomed all the initiatives of the successive Union governments to rehabilitate the Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley but it is a small section of anti social elements those are continuously spitting venom against the most nationalist, educated and the civilized society, he added. Khan welcomed the Prime Minister Modi’s initiative and the interest on the return of the exiled Kashmiri pandits and expressed the hope that the Modi’s mission will be completed in a comprehensive manner.
Khan said BJP would ensure the full security Kashmiri pandits as the community cannot be left on the mercy of Hurriyat and terrorists. He said that the real return envisaging return and retention would work only if there is no dilution in the constitutional position and BJP is committed to the real rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits.
