JAMMU, Sept 28: Girdhari Lal Raina, Prabhari of Kashmir Displaced District (KDD) unit of BJP J&K and former MLC has asked different political parties in Jammu Kashmir to stop enticing by paying lip service to the displaced community of Kashmir.
At a press conference at party office he cautioned the community against political traps laid by the parties who are primarily responsible for marginalization, exclusion and expulsion of the religious minority of Kashmir Valley. He said mere statements of intent do not mean anything. He asked these parties to involve the displaced community in policy planning and decision making process within the party first before promising something for the future. These opportunist political parties use certain individuals to showcase them as community representatives without even empowering them within party apparatus, he stated.
Raina stressed that none of these political organizations have given any responsible position to any member from the religious minority of Kashmir Valley, how can one expect them to deliver in future.
It is an internationally recognised fact that participation of persons belonging to minority communities in public affairs including political, social and cultural life of the place they live in is essential to fight exclusion, he asserted.
Political parties in J&K; be that NC, PDP or Congress have reduced the participation of minorities of Kashmir Valley to a mere spectacle Raina opined. Displaced community is no longer prepared to be used for votes and as tool to exhibit secular and pluralistic credentials of these discredited parties. He urged the displaced community to take full advantage of the recently launched web portal for encroached immovable property.
