JAMMU, Apr 6: Various KP organizations have condemned the Government’s attitude towards the formation of Shrine Board for protection and management of Hindu Shrines in Kashmir valley.
ASKPC, which held a meeting here today under the chairmanship of H L Chatta strongly condemned the Government’s role in sabotaging the Bill.
Terming the decision to send the Bill to Select Committee of the House as unfortunate even after four years of its tabling in the Assembly, Mr Chatta said this shows that coalition was not interested in the passage of the Bill.
He said had the Congress and NC been sincere the mass exodus of Pandits would have never taken place. The fate of the Bill was known already as this Government was never sincere towards the welfare of the community as they are more interested for welfare of separatists and surrendered militants than the peace loving and patriotic people of the State.
He said the lacunas were deliberately kept in the Bill by the Government to sabotage its passage and the community has lost all faith in it. He said the coalition failed to give any representation to the community in Lower House Council of Ministers as well as other representative bodies so how can the community expect any good from it.
AMCCC in a meeting held under the chairmanship of Desh Rattan its president also took the Government to task for sabotaging the Shrine Bill at last moment. It also warned against giving any representation except the Kashmiri Hindus in the Shrine Board and criticized Javed Dar for his role.
Desh Rattan also held the Central Government responsible for their problems and urged the community to fight unitedly for their demands.
