JAMMU, Sept 8: Panun Kashmir (PK) and All India Kashmiri Samaj (AIKS) has expressed the hope that injustice meted out to the Kashmir Pandits over the decades would end under the leadership of Prime Minister , Narendra Modi whose Government has taken some concrete steps in this regard.
Dr Agnishekhar, convenor, PK while expressing his utmost satisfaction over the decision of naming of a road and an educational institution in Srinagar after two illustrious Kashmiri Hindus said the historic injustice meted to the aboriginal inhabitants of Kashmir especially after erstwhile Princely State of J& K acceded to Indian Union led to abject marginalization of the community which culminated in forced mass exodus in 1990. He added assigning the name of illustrious Kashmiri Hindus to prominent landmarks is a befitting tribute not only to individual Kashmiri Hindus but a mark of respect for entire exiled community.
Dr Ajay Chrungoo, chairman, PK expressed satisfaction over seemingly active approach of the present Government over J&K Migrant Immovable Property (Preservation, Protection and Restraint on Distress Sales) Act 1997. Dr Chrungoo said, the notification in this regard is a testimony of the fact that previous governments ensured the marginalization and intimidation of the exiled Hindus of Kashmir continues and no headway is taken even on legal provisions of law concerning Hindus of Kashmir.
Dr Chrungoo, while terming active stance on Distress Sales Act as another historic step by Modi Government after August 5 and Domicile Law appealed the community to ensure the online portal application for grievances issued by the administration in this regard is submitted on priority.
Dr Agnishekhar, while coming down heavily on the recent statement of Dr Farooq Abdullah said supporting and welcoming the advent of a Taliban regime which hosts UN designated terrorists as members is nothing new.
Reference the notification from the Government of the Union Territory of J & K, the AIKS Core Group held a meeting under the presidentship of Dr Romesh Raina. It placed on record its appreciation of the Government for enacting the “J&K Migrant Immovable Property (Preservation, Protection and Restraint on Distress Sales) Act 1997”, particularly on orders of the High Court in OWP No. 477/2016 dated 06-03-2016 titled “All India Kashmiri Samaj and others. v/s Union of India and Ors.” vide its above order.
Further, AIKS expresses its gratitude to the Government for issuing the executive orders for development of the web portal to facilitate the affected migrants for applications and redressal. “We are also happy to learn that the web portal has now been launched”, he added.
