JAMMU, Nov 12: Two KP organizations today criticized the Centre for allowing Sartaj Aziz, Advisor of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharief to meet separatist leaders from State.
In their separate statements Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC) and All State Kashmiri Pandit Conference (ASKPC) termed it another Himalayan blunder.
KPC president Kundan Kashmiri, while castigating the Centre for allowing the Sartaj Aziz to meet separatists in New Delhi said these secret meetings can prove counter productive for peace as no body knows what transpired there.
He said there is every apprehension that the platform would be used for hatching a conspiracy to continue bleeding India, to strengthen divisive forces in Kashmir for disintegration of the nation and create large scale disturbances in the State.
Kashmiri said that it is not known how Indian Government allowed separatists to meet Aziz in view of the recent startling revelation that after Afghanistan Pakistan’s ISI is planning to send Talibans to Kashmir.
He said such wrong policies of Union Government were also responsible for the mass exodus of over seven lakh Pandits from Valley in 1989-90.
He also criticized the State Government for its politically motivated approach and non serious attitude towards the problems and demands of displaced Pandits.
The ASKPC president H L Chatta and its senior vice president R K Raina while opposing the Government of India for allowing separatists and Aziz meeting to take place at Union Capital said that it was another Himalayan blunder committed by the Centre on Kashmir issue.
The ASKPC leaders said that the people of State especially the minority Hindus are still reaping the fruits of blunders committed by Delhi in 1947and the Union Government is committing one blunder after another over Kashmir which are slated to encourage the separatists and terrorists.
ASKPC urged the Centre to have a concrete and firm policy on Kashmir and crush the separatists with heavy hands.
Ashok Dhar and Veena Gurtoo president Women’s Wing ASKPC said that the Government of India should be tough towards separatists and Pakistan so that the everlasting peace is restored in trouble- torn Valley.
