JAMMU: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) international working president Praveen Togadia on Saturday said the Interlocutor appointed by the Centre must focus on return of Kashmiri Pandits to their homeland than holding talks with Separatists.
“It is good that the Centre has appointed Dineshwar Sharma as special representative to Jammu and Kashmir but his focus should be on return of Kashmiri Hindus to the Valley and decades old discrimination with Jammu,” Dr Togadia told reporters here.
The firebrand leader is on three-day visit to Jammu to meet VHP cadre, hold meetings, review political scenario and launch ‘Hindu Health Line’.
“Let us see whether the Kashmiri Pandits return back to their homeland in three months or not,” he said and added, “there is no fun of holding dialogue with Separatists and Pak agents.”
Dr Togadia also said stone pelters and terrorists should be dealt firmly and they should not be spared.
“There is no sympathy for stone-pelters, terrorists and separatists. They should be dealt firmly,” said the VHP leader.
On Article 35-A, he said no such law has been passed by the Indian Parliament and added, “Article 35-A and Article 370 must be revoked.”
“Kashmir centric people are getting undue benefits under the shade of Article 370 and Article 35-A and it should be abrogated,” he asserted.
“All states are equal in India. There is no question of special status to J&K,” he added and said all special powers and recognitions to the state must be withdrawn.
On Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s remarks that if there is any tampering with Article 35-A, nobody will carry Tri-colour in Jammu and Kashmir, Dr Togadia said, “You (Ms Mufti) do not worry about Tiranga. Togadia with crores of Hindus will carry it to J&K.”
“You (Ms Mufti) save your chair and we will save Tiranga,” said Dr Togadia.
He, however, also said discrimination with Jammu must come to an end.
He also slammed BJP for despite being into the government have failed in meeting aspirations of people of Jammu.
On illegal settlement of Rohingyas in Jammu, Dr Togadia said, “they are threat to the society and illegally settled.”
“They must be deported back, which is in the interest of the country,” he added. (AGENCIES)
