JAMMU, Mar 27: Panun Kashmir (PK) organised a webinar today , under the chairmanship of its president, Virender Raina.
During the Webinar resolutions were passed in which it was stated
“While it is great to know that the Prime Minister has Kashmiri Pandit community in his thoughts particularly on the occasion of Navreh -the New Year Day festival of Kashmir that the indigenous people of Kashmir -the Kashmiri Pandits have been celebrating unabated for the last thousands of years of their civilization and history, there is also an urgent need to take up some important issues of concern. This is particularly so when the greetings have also come from the Home Minister and the President of the ruling party -the BJP too”.
It said despite the Constitutional and Parliamentary sanction, the Government has committed to nominate two members from the displaced community to the J&K Assembly for the last one and a half years. But there is absolutely no action going on at any level in regard to the implementation of the Parliamentary sanction of the provisions of the relevant Act, the resolution said.
It said the KP community though are electorally ‘insignificant’ due to their forced displacement from their homeland, however, they continue to be a very important political issue which many vested interests would like it to be diluted from the socio-political map of the J&K UT and demanded the fulfillment of the commitment in this regard.
Through the resolution Prime Minister was reminded about his solemn promises made during the election campaigning in September-2024 to the displaced community to enhance the monthly relief to the relief-holders but that promise stands unfulfilled till date.
Similarly, after a long struggle of one and a half year by the Delhi based displaced community, the Delhi Government took decision in regard to streamlining the AMR to the relief holders in Delhi. Now again the matter is pending before the MHA for the last six months and there is no headway seen in this context.
Those who attended the webinar, Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo senior KP and BJP leader, Utpal Kaul,Upinder Kaul, Kamal Bagati, Rajinder Kaul, Rajiv Raina, Sameer Bhat, Ashok Chrungoo, Nakul Bhat, Kanwal Zadoo ,P.K.Bhan. Pankaj Koul and Dleep Handoo.
