JAMMU, Aug 27: KP Sabha held a meeting under the chairmanship of its President KK Khosa, wherein the members took strong exception to the claims made by AS Geelani about the rich and resilient culture of Kashmir of which he is proud.
After having shamelessly driven out the Kashmiri Pandits in 1990 in connivance with the leading terror organizations, his claims are hollow and misleading and give another proof of the separatists’ intentions to project Kashmir as the abode of Wahabi Islam where no other culture existed, the members asserted.
They stated that by calling the Indian forces as invaders, Geelani is trying to paint all Kashmir with the same brush especially the large number of people who are in favour of Kashmir’s accession to India and also in favour of peaceful co-existence of people belonging to different religions.
Government of India and the State Government by not bringing to book these traitors is guilty of mis-governance and no further delay will be allowed in this regard, they said, adding that all the leaders of this present uprising should be put behind bars so that the large section of people who are scared of helping in defusing the situation can boldly come forward and contribute in the dialogue process which the Government has begun.
Among others present were AK Braroo, SL Bhagati, GJ Kampasi, BL Tiku, Ashok Khar, Subash Dhar, Dr Ashok Koul, Dr Usha Tickoo, Shamma Handoo, J L Zutshi, Rajinder Tiku, RL Koul and Kewal Sher.
