JAMMU, June 4: Senior AAP leader and DDC member Suchetgarh, Taranjit Singh Tony on Saturday questioned the stand of Centre for stopping the Kashmiri Pandits as well as minority employees from leaving the Valley despite its failure to provide adequate security to the community.
In a statement issued to media persons, the AAP functionary said that instead of virtually torturing the hapless community which is facing threat in the Valley, the Government should come out with a resolution by transferring them temporarily to their home districts and soon after the security scenario gets normalized they should be recalled to resume their duties at their present places of posting.
“Keeping the workforce forcefully confined into colonies that too when the security arrangements are questionable is not at all a good idea because already the delay in the decision has taken away many precious lives ruining the innocent families”, he said and demanded safe evacuation of all the KP employees under Government security.
The senior AAP leader said that the Government has no right to treat the nationalist KP employees as sitting ducks as this is unacceptable and unfair to keep people in places where there is no guarantee of safety.
Supporting the cause of the protesting KP employees, Tony said that the BJP Government should not make this issue as a matter of ego because saving people’s lives is more important than the self-esteem of the saffron party which used to condemn other parties over the issue of migration of Pandits from Valley.
