NEW DELHI, June 10: While welcoming the initiative of Union Government led by Narendra Modi regarding rehabilitation of displaced Pandits in Kashmir Valley, Kashmiri Samiti Delhi (KSD) has urged the Union Government to take into consideration the community views while devising the rehabilitation policy.
The KSD, which met here, today under the chairmanship of its president Vijay Raina said that comparing present situation with that prevailing during the mass exodus of the community is must to find out whether any thing has changed for better or not.
It said, while doing so the Government will itself come to know that no much change has taken place in the ground situation in Kashmir and communal and secessionist mindset is still there. The KSD warned that returning to same atmosphere will prove suicidal for the community.
The Samiti made it clear that till the root causes of exodus are analyzed any attempt to force community’s return would prove dangerous and an exercise in futility.
The meeting demanded constitution of a SIT to look into the real causes that led to the mass exodus and before setting formula of return into motion those cause be addressed.
The meeting said the successive Governments have failed to distinguish between the issue of KPs return and the need for granting economic compensation to the members of the community and protect the fundamental rights of the community in Valley. It expressed the hope that the present Government will be much wiser and pragmatic as it has given emphasis on good governance and therefore it would not mix two unrelated things.
The meeting demanded that community be given economic benefits at those places where it is putting up at present. The meeting, made it clear that for rehabilitation of Pandits in Valley there would be no compromise on the homeland demand.
