JAMMU, June 22: Panun Kashmir (PK) today made it clear that any negotiation or hobnobbing with the separatists and terrorists in Kashmir is tantamount to granting legitimacy to the so-called Azadi-Nizame Mustafa band.
Talking to reporters here, today, PK president Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, Prof. M.L.Raina, Chairman, Political Affairs Committee, PK and Virender Raina, its national spokesperson said the assertion of the State of India that ‘terror and talks cannot go together’ demands that terror emanating from Pakistan is to be eliminated lock stock and barrel in order to establish Peace in Kashmir.
Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, said PK is however satisfied with the statements of Ram Madhav, national general secretary, BJP that “the Centre won’t engage in talks with the separatists in Kashmir”. It is gratifying to note that Madhav has reflected the national sentiment on Kashmir in his statement that “BJP will not be in the Government the day it feels that sovereignty and national interest are being compromised in Kashmir Valley”, he added.
He said PK in this context would like to make it clear that no Government at the Centre is mandated to discuss the issues related to sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. The terrorists and extremist-secessionist forces cannot claim to be the stakeholders as they are responsible for death, destruction and ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people of Kashmir. The Kashmiri Pandits are the first and primary stakeholders of the territory and legacy of Kashmir who have been forced to live as refugees own country, he added.
Virender Raina, national spokesperson-PK said that Kashmir as an international issue has long extinguished from the public discourse. In this context, the opinions expressed by former Secretary Generals of the United Nations from time to time “that the resolution on Kashmir has lost its relevance and is a time barred document of the UN body” should serve as a clear message to all those who harp upon the archaic and irrelevant resolution on Kashmir, and have taken recourse to terrorism and mayhem to further their anti-India agenda, he added.
He said P K appeals to the present Secretary General of the UN to impress upon Pakistan to stop cross border terrorism into India and also dismantle the terror infrastructure spread across the length and breadth of Pakistan.
Prof. M.L.Raina, Chairman, Political Affairs Committee PK said that the absurd ideas like autonomy, self-rule, pre-1953 position have all been overtaken by events. Certain political parties by raising these issues are fundamentally creating confusion in the minds of people. The people of J & K want complete integration of the State with the rest of India and as such the time has come for the abrogation of Article 370. Moreover, this Article has been responsible for creating a State within the State thus giving rise to fissiparous tendencies.
