To discuss the political and security scenario prevailing in the state the executive committee members of All Kashmiri Pandit Solidarity Conference held a meeting under the presidentship of O N Trisal.
The year 1990 was the darkest year in the annals of Indian history, members said and added that this year witnessed the naked dance of ‘‘Islamic fundamentalism’’ who were hell bent to force ethnic cleansing of KP’s from the Valley.
‘‘There was not only the threat to our lives but the honour, dignity of the community at stake,’’ said members. They said that this lead to the mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits to abandon their homes and hearths and seek safe pastures for themselves in different parts of the country.
Members said that while the central government is busy to talk to even secessionists with J&K hardly any attempts made to address the problems of the displaced. There is a callous apathy shown by the state and central government who pass the buck from one to other without anyone owing responsibility to remove the problems of displaced KPs, they said.
A press statement issued today said that during the meeting members felt that displaced community who are aborigines of Kashmir and are living a life of refugees in their own country ought to have started confidence in them before initiating a dialogue with those who are responsible for their forced exodus from the Valley.
The executive members also discussed the statements given by the relief and rehabilitation minister that 1300 families are ready to return the Valley as baseless. KPs are not against return but they are opposed to the process of return adopted by the state government, they said and added that displaced community wants an action plan for return of entire community with restored social and political right.
Members alleged that they did not want to return for expediency purpose so that central government, can claim that normalcy has been restored or to bail out muslim dominated state government from its secular commitments. Pandits want to return to live there on permanent basis in a separate homeland with union territory status of on north and east of river Jhelum as a matter of right and choice, they said.
Members also decided to observe January 19 as a ‘holocaust day’ and to join the rally of Panun Kashmir on that day. Those present in the meeting included Hira Lal Bindroo, Rajni Bhat, Pran Nath Dhar, J N Jotshi, P L Aima, Autar Krishan Bhat, Dalip Ambardar, Roop Krishan Kaul, Ravi Kaul, Bita Kaul, K L Safaya, Nancy Jalali, Pinky Bhat, Bharti Raina, Anita Kaul, Promita Razdan, A K Jalali, Phoola Jee, Vikram Kaul, Anjali Kaul, Usha Jee, Basanti Nagri, Prana Jee, Sarla Bhat and M K Bhan.
