Constituencies
in exile
Sir,
It is in
reference to the letter "No cure in
constituencies in exile" written by
Mr. Sunil Bhat, that appeared in your
esteemed paper dated 30/4/2K. In its
writing Mr. Bhat has been very critical
of Mr. K L Chowdhary for his demand of
"Constituencies in exile".
After the careful study of the article I
have reached to the conclusion that Mr.
Bhat has gone to the extreme in levelling
allegation against Dr. Chowdhary. As a
matter of fact, Mr. Bhat has every right
to discuss about the problems of the
community. But while doing so one should
not forget the contributions of its
leaders. It is very unwise and uncalled
for to ask Mr. Chowdhary to join National
Conference. Mr. Chowdhary is a tall
personality of Pandit Community. He has
been contributing a lot to the community
as a doctor, as a writer, as a social
worker and as a leading migrant leader.
As is know to all that Mr. Chowdhary is
on the hit list of terrorists. But
despite repeated threat perceptions of
militants Dr. Chowdhary is fearlessly
pleading the community cause of the
national level as well as on the
international level.
As per the
observations no national level political
party or a regional party is in favour of
a Homeland for Kashmiri Pandits. The
Central and the State Government is in no
mood to accept the demand of homeland.
However,
if Mr. Sunil Bhat's perception of Home
land stands to be right and genuine for
Kashmiri Pandits there is no harm to
demand for the constituencies in exile
till the goal of Homeland is achieved or
granted. It is, unfortunate, and unwise
to stick to a particular demand. Other
options and alternatives should be kept
open to keep the community alive in the
political field to save it from further
devastation and political exploitation.
Yours
etc...
Autar Krishen Jammu.
