He said, the basic demand of Homeland coupled with the context given in the Resolution are as important and relevant today as they were on the day the Resolution was passed.
The community and the nation have given a large number of sacrifices in the State of Jammu & Kashmir since the passing of the Resolution.
He also acknowledged the exemplary role played by the Army and security forces in Kashmir and praised Jammu and Kashmir police in this connection.
“There are various issues of high priority for the community and the issue of survival cannot be overlooked. The Government needs to take the issues pertaining to the one time compensation for the over-aged youth very seriously. There should not be any further delay in the recruitment process of the declared 4,000 jobs under the PM’s employment package,” Chrungoo expressed.
Prof ML Raina in his address said that the struggle for passage of the Temples and Shrines Bill has a multi-dimensional meaning, adding the situation in Kashmir has completely changed and there is a visible atmosphere of Islamic radicalization in Kashmir.
Virender Raina said that there is a need to involve more and more young people in the struggle in exile.
