JAMMU, Apr 28: Strongly advocating for the passage of Kashmiri Hindu Shrines and Temples Bill for protection of Hindu religious places in Valley All Displaced Kashmiri United Front made an appeal to the entire KP community to launch a united struggle in this regard.
In an emergency meeting of the Forum held under the leadership of DN Kissu, its Chairman it expressed concern and anguish on ever increasing radicalisation of society in the Valley. False promises and lies spread by separatists responsible for inviting gun culture to the Valley made tolerance, attitude of helping others, respect towards places of worship of all faiths and human values once prevalent and dear to Kashmiris its first casualty, it added.
It said almost all political crafts men are not far behind they have been adding fuel to fire for power, pecuniary and political gains they are equally responsible for engulfing entire populace in inhuman activities.
The Forum expresses its pain on desecration of famous Bargshakha Temple in Martand, entire Hindu community is aggrieved and hurt on this inhuman action. The Forum condemned the act and demanded stern action against culprits giving them exemplary punishment. This is the outcome of total inaction by Jammu and Kashmir Police on similar cases in the past this inaction has further encouraged radicals and antinational elements in society. Nothing good can be expected from these disgruntled elements inimical to the human values they can bring hatred, death and destruction only. Forum hopes that this time concerned will not let the incident go under cover as usual and repeat the history of inactions since none of such criminals have been brought to justice so far involved in similar crimes in the past.
Forum reiterated that the successive State Governments have miserably failed in protecting places of worship of Hindus in valley rather has been supporting overtly or covertly miscreants vandalising encroaching upon and forcibly occupying Pandits property and shrines. Forum has been advocating the passage of Temples and Shrines Bill since long and stands firmly behind Premnath Bhat Memorial Trust the nodal agency pursuing the passage of the Bill. Forum reminds PDP to fulfil its promise made during elections about the said bill.
Among others Prof GL Koul, PL Sudeshi, CL Koul, ML Pandit, PN Raina, BN Bhat, CL Zutshi also addressed the meeting.
