JAMMU, June 6: To express total solidarity with the PM package employees, the employees of minority community serving in Valley and also workers from other States who have become the targets of terrorists in Kashmir, the activists of Pt. Prem Nath Bhat Memorial Trust held a demonstration at Press Club here, today.
The demonstration was led by leaders of the Trust and prominent members of the community carrying placards in support of minority community members working in Kashmir Valley including package employees and other employees of the minority community participated in it. The protestors raised slogans in support of these employees who have become targets of terrorists and anti national elements.
They said the spate of targeted killings in Kashmir has created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty amongst the minorities serving in the Valley.
The chairman of the Trust said that employees of Hindu community and other nationalist people face grave threat to their lives in view of the targeted killings and in the last over one fortnight there has been killings of Rahul Bhat, Rajni Bala, Vijay Kumar a migrant labourer, serving people in Kashmir. These were purely hate crimes against a particular community because they were otherwise no threat but serving the majority community in the Valley.
He said Kashmir is not an economic problem and neither a developmental issue but it is a problem of radicalisation and Pak sponsored terrorism and proxy war. No kid glove measures are going to be effective and appeasement politics has to end if we want to change the present situation. KPs are aborigines and the indigenous people and as such the primary stake holders of the territory and politics of Kashmir.
Acting chairman of the Trust B L Zar said that the present situation of Kashmir exposed the religious places of Hindus in Valley to grave risk. The mafia who are very active in usurping the properties of temples in the Valley can take advantage of uncertain situation and create further damage to the already precarious eco system existing around our places of worship. He appealed the Government to pass all important Temples and Shrines Bill for Hindu religious places in Kashmir and also accede to the demands of the protesting package employees.
