JAMMU, June 20: On the eve of World Refugee Day, a large number of internally displaced Kashmiri Pandits submitted a memorandum across the various cities of the country and also abroad to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi today.
A memorandum was also submitted by the representatives of the Kashmiri Pandit Co-ordination Committee for IDP status to the exiled community. It appealed to the Government of India to declare religiously cleansed Kashmiri Pandits as IDPs (Internally Displaced People) and grant the IDP status to the community.
It said the KPs are living as internally displaced people; scattered all across the length and breadth of India besides the various countries after they were religiously cleansed from their ancestral homeland Kashmir in 1990 by the Islamic theofascists by indulging in their whole sale massacre, rape of women, arson, loot and intimidation.
Expressing serious concern over the denial of the IDP status to the exiled community Kashmiri Pandit Co-ordination Committee on IDP termed this denial as the gross human rights violation and international laws on Internal displacement laid down by United Nations Organisation (UNO) through UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.
The representatives of the KPs said that Indian State is well aware that the Kashmiri Pandit community has kept the Indian flag aloft amid all odds and persecution, proved their Indian nationalism by rejecting the communalism and separatism for the democratic values as enshrined in the Indian constitution.
By granting the IDP status to the KP community, Indian state and the incumbent Central Government at New Delhi will be able to checkmate the false Kashmiri Muslim separatist bogey asking for plebiscite and dreaming balkanization of Indian nation.
