Migrants ask Govt to clarify stand on fresh registration

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Apr 27: Various organizations of displaced people from Kashmir valley today warned the Government of starting fresh registration of people from Valley on the name of political migrants.
In a statement issued here, today, Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC) chief Kundan Kashmiri while questioning the move said that on the one hand the Government has set the so called return formula in motion and on the other hand it is encouraging the migration of political activist by starting their fresh registration. This move is to benefit some blue eyed boys of the some political parties, he added.
Kashmiri in an appeal to the Divisional Commissioner, Jammu, Dr Pawan Kotwal who is  heading the Screening Committee in this regard asked him not to encourage fresh registration of people as the Government in 2010 had decided to stop the registration of fresh migrants from Valley as such a policy will help the vested interests and separatists only.
He said the registration of political migrants puts a question mark on  Government’s claim that situation has improved in Valley. He also reiterated the demand that Pandits will return only after they will be settled at a concentrated place where there is free flow of Indian Constitution and where no barriers are created by Article 370.
Supporting the demand general secretary, All State Kashmiri Pandit Conference (ASKPC) Bharat Bushan Gosani said that on the one hand Government is creating hurdles in bifurcation of migrant families while on the other it is encouraging fresh registration of political migrants from Valley who as a matter of fact have not migrated from Valley lock, stock and barrel but are the seasonal visitors.
Gosani has said encouraging fresh registration puts a question mark on return formula of the Government. He said the coalition should clarify the stand on the same.
