JAMMU, Mar 11: Panun Kashmir (PK) conducted the meeting of its Executive Council here, today under the chairmanship of Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, its president.
Those who attended the meeting included J.L.Kaul, vice president, P K, Virender Raina its national spokesperson, Upinder Kaul, general secretary, Kamal Bagati, general secretary(Org), Virender Kaul, organizing secretary, Surinder Kaul, secretary, P.K.Bhan, Vimla Chrungoo, Sneh Ganhar, R.L.Sharma, Vineet Sikal and Sameer Bhat, convener-Panun Kashmir Youth.
The members reviewed the organizational and socio-political situation prevailing over the last three months in the State in particular. The meeting expressed satisfaction with the role played by the representative in the UN Human Rights Council recently. PK unequivocally rejected the unwarranted intervention of the UNHCHR Zeid Ra’ad regarding the so-called human rights violations in Kashmir.
Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, president, PK in his address stated that the UNHCHR Zeid Ra’ad is maintaining a permanent silence on the issue of the human rights violations of the indigenous people of the Kashmir valley, the Kashmiri Pandits while he is selectively talking about the human rights concerns in India.
It is gratifying to note that the Indian representative has been forthright in her reply and has successfully rejected the contention of Pakistan in the UN Human Rights Council session. She has termed Pakistan a failed State among the comity of nations and responsible for cross border terrorism in J& K State. The issues raised by the Dy. Representative of Pakistan, Tahir Andrabi have been well addressed, obliquely, by the representative of the J&K State Haseeb Drabu in New Delhi yesterday.
The statement of Drabu in this context is a nice rebuttal to the argument that Kashmir is a “political problem”. It ceased to be so in 1947 with the signing of the Instrument of Accession. The Shimla Pact of 1972 and the 1994 unanimous resolution of the Parliament on J&K have ratified the position for all the times to come.
Virender Raina, national spokesperson-PK, while making his presentation said that the Kashmiri Pandits have been longing for the Bill on Hindu Temples and Shrines in Kashmir. The demand of the Hindus of Kashmir to preserve, protect and promote their cultural and religious tradition of thousands of years in Kashmir is a very important concern not only of the Hindus living in J&K State but of the entire nation.
