JAMMU, June 4: The Political Affairs Committee of Panun Kashmir (PK) held its meeting today and took stock of the deteriorating political situation in Kashmir. Prof. M.L.Raina, Chairman, Political Affairs Committee presided over the meeting which was among others attended by Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, President, (PK), Virender Raina, National spokesperson, J.L.Kaul, Upinder Kaul, Kamal Bagati, Vijay Qazi, and Ramesh Kaul. The quarterly Newsletter was also released on the occasion.
Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, in his address said that the recent statement of Pakistani General that ‘…Kashmir is a part of the unfinished agenda of partition….’ is reflective of the frustration and total lack of understanding of the geo-political dynamics on the part of Pak establishment. In so far as the political aspect of the Kashmir issue is concerned, it is a settled issue. The only issue that needs to be settled is the reclamation of the Pak occupied Kashmir and the areas illegally ceded to China by Pakistan, he added.
The recent spurt in the terrorist activities and the attempts aimed at infiltrating armed terrorists into Kashmir is as a result of the confusing signals that the Government has been giving ever since it came into power in Jammu and Kashmir. The separatists in Kashmir seem to be emboldened and encouraged to hold public rallies where they display Pakistan flags and raise anti-India slogans. This is totally unacceptable to the nationalist forces in Jammu and Kashmir and is completely against the national mood on the subject.
Prof. M.L.Raina, said in the meeting that the gains of the recent elections in Kashmir seems to have been lost or is in the process of losing if no counter measures are taken immediately on a war footing.
Virender Raina, said that in the ‘battle of ideas’ the Government seems to have given a very long rope to the anti-Indian lobby in Kashmir. The salience of Pakistan is increasing in the affairs of Kashmir, and after a long time Pakistan seems to be rejuvenated to poke its nose in the internal affairs of India.
It is the Kashmiri Pandits who are the prime stakeholders in Kashmir and would under no circumstances allow farcical experimentation in Kashmir in the name of ‘battle of ideas’.
