Jammu, March 6 (Scoop News) –  Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, President, Panun Kashmir today said that the struggle of the displaced community, which is the indigenous community of Kashmir , has regional, national and international dimensions

Ashwani was speaking in the function of Shivratri Milan organized by Daughters of Panun Kashmir’(DOPK) today in Jammu . The programme was presided over by Moheni Raina, Chairperson, DOPK.

Ashwani Kumar in his speech said that the inauguration of the Jagti Township vindicates our stand that ‘rehabilitation’ and ‘resettlement’ are two different issues. The resettlement in Kashmir is purely a political issue which needs to be dealt at a political level for which Panun Kashmir has already given its blue print in the shape of Margdarshan resolution.

The Hindus of Kashmir have a non-negotiable claim on the territory of their land of ancestors. Our special relationship with the nationalist forces will surely bear its positive

 results.
