JAMMU, Dec 27: An urgent meeting of prominent Kashmiri Pandit community social activists was held today at Muthi Camp here under the chiarmanship of senior leader of the community M.K. Yogi.
It discussed the most crucial problems being faced by the community in exile on many fronts like filling of un-necessarily NAFSA form that has created great hue and cry among the community.
In a Statement issued today by M.K. Yogi said all the participants present in the meeting raised concern for forcing the community to file this unnecessary form as they said that Relief Commissioner Migrants has all the details and data of the migrants and relief holders and so what is the necessity to put the community on great discomfort because they are still un settled and living in exile without permanent settlement.
Yogi appealed Government of J&K not to harass the community on the name of NAFSA form which is meaningless till this community is settled permanently in their native places in Kashmir valley. Bharat Kachroo, Ravinder Koul, Ashok Kumar Dhar, Sunil Pandita, Kuleep Kashmiri , Rakesh Kumar Suri,, Mohan Lal Raina and others while speaking on the occasion have appealed UT administration and Relief Commissioner to exempt the Kashmiri Pandit community from filling the form till they are permanently rehabilitated in Kashmir valley with dignity and honour.
Vinod Pandita another social activist highlighted the genuine problems of the community like creation of new ten thousand posts for educated KP youth in exile, enhancement of monthly relief assistance from Rs. 13000 to 25000 per month, doling out of balance compensation to the damaged and gutted property of Kashmiri Pandits, compensation to over aged educated youth, implementation of defunct Immovable Migrant Property Act in letter and spirit and passage of Temples and Shrines Bill.
