JAMMU, Sept 18: A meeting of General Council was convened today at the organization Head Quarters which was presided over by the President Kashmiri Pandit Sabha, Ambhalla K K Khosa. The meeting attained significance on account of the political developments of the State.
Members deliberated upon the various connected issues and the pertaining to cultural and social issues of the community. The threat posed by the influx of Mynmar Rohingya Muslims to the demographic and security aspects of Jammu region was the main issue to deliberate upon and a need of their early deportation from the city of temples was stressed upon. “Any move, direct or indirect, to rehabilitate them even temporarily in Jammu, a peaceful city with peace loving people, were bound to create problems of unmanageable magnitude”, was felt by the members on the Council and special invitees and observers in the meeting.
A resolution was unanimously passed which demanded that “Kashmiri Pandits Sabha, Ambhalla feels strongly over clandestinely settling hundreds of Mynmar Rohingya Muslims in the periphery of Jammu Division posing a serious threat to the demographic and security scenario of this border State. The speed with which and the manner through which they were brought intentionally here and settled in make shift sheds and structures, openly reveals the evil motive of those responsible for the whole exercise. The close proximity of most of these foreign nationals to serious crimes including terrorism is well established. A few such incidents at the hands of these Rohingyas and timely action by the State Police lifts the lid from above the pot. The Sabha unequivocally impresses upon the State administration to speed up the identification and deportation of these unwanted foreigners in our state.”
“The Sabha also condemns any mischievous moves to disturb the close unity and cooperation between different sections of the society living peacefully in Jammu. No such detestable move from any quarter shall succeed in its nefarious designs by the matured peace loving patriotic people of all sections of the Jammu society,” The resolution added.
The Sabha put on record the magnanimity and the open heartedness of Jammu people to help and provide succor to the persecuted community of Kashmiri Pandits in the trying hours of January 1990 and thereafter for which the community shall always feel grateful.
