The meeting expressed serious concern over the cross border firing and the security scenario in the J&K State.

Those who attended the meeting included Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, President, PK, national spokesperson, Virender Raina, general secretary, Kamal Bagati, general secretary(Org), Virender Kaul, organizing secretary, Vijay Qazi and secretary Kewal Kaul.
Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, president, P K in his address stated that Panun Kashmir expressed satisfaction over the statements made by the Government in the Assembly that the fate of the people of the State lies with India and the Constitution of India. It is important in this context to clarify certain issues so far as the political processes in the state are concerned. “We reject the argument vehemently that Kashmir needs a “political resolution”. This is a cry of the failed political ideology and practice to blackmail the Indian masses, he added.
He said the Instrument of Accession, 1972 Shimla Agreement and the Unanimous Parliamentary Resolution on Jammu & Kashmir finally resolve all the political issues pertaining to Kashmir. The displacement and resettlement of Kashmiri Pandit community is the only political issue that needs redressal at a national level as per the Homeland Resolution of 1991.
Chrungoo said the Government of India’s initiatives regarding the construction of the makeshift accommodation for the PM Package employees in the Valley is not linked with the resettlement process of the community in any way. Resettlement of the displaced community of Kashmiri Pandits is purely a political issue that needs settlement at political level alone, he added.
Prof. M.L.Raina, chairman, PAC said that the youth and the women section of the displaced community need to come forward to share the responsibilities of the struggle in exile.. This year’s programme on Shivratri by the organization will focus on this important issue.
Virender Raina, national spokesperson-PK while making his presentation said that the issue relating to the recruitment of the displaced youth is taking too much of time despite the assurances made by the Government in this regard. Onetime settlement of the overaged youth needs urgent attention of the government, he added.
