JAMMU, July 9: The Jagti Migrant Welfare Movement (JMWM) led by Sunil Pandita and socio-political activist, Vinod Pandita have urged the Government to announce a time bound rehabilitation policy for Displaced Pandits leading an exiled life for last 34 years.
In a joint statement they said that the problems of the displaced Pandits from Valley are compounding day by day and the Government has adopted a stoic silence on the issue of rehabilitation of the community. They said that the community is totally in distress as the immovable property and orchards of the majority people have been either encroached by some anti social elements or have been damaged due to vagaries of weather over the three decades.
They said the community living in exile sees the future of its younger generation totally bleak and in case the Government further delays the rehabilitation of the community back in Valley this ancient civilization of India will get vanished within some years.
They said being the indigenous people of Kashmir having made a tremendous contribution to Indian aesthetics and culture it is the bounden duty of powers that be at Delhi to get this community having a cultural history of over 5000 years rehabilitated in their homeland.
They made an appeal to Prime Minister, Narendra Modi urging him that Government of India should frame a comprehensive policy in this regard as early as possible.
