JAMMU, May 8: Panun Kashmir (PK) conducted the meeting of its reconstituted Executive Council under the chairmanship of Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, its president.
The members reviewed the organizational and socio-political situation prevailing over the last two months in the State in particular. The meeting unanimously appreciated the forthright action taken by the security forces in the Kashmir valley to fight the evil of terrorism and radicalization. It also approved the action plan executed by the leadership of PK over the period post Annual Executive Council meeting.
Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, president, P K in his address stated that Panun Kashmir would always highlight the truthful picture of the J&K State along with the situation of the minorities of the State. The Kashmiri Pandit community needs to bring to the fore the bigger dimensions of the Kashmir issue that pave way for their resettlement in the Valley in near future. The Margdarshan Resolution is the simplest way to espouse the cause of the Pandits at national and international level, he added.
He said “we reject the argument vehemently that Kashmir needs a “political resolution”. This is a cry of the failed political ideology and practice to blackmail the Indian State and masses. The Instrument of Accession, 1972 Shimla Agreement and the unanimous Parliamentary resolution on Jammu & Kashmir finally resolve all the political issues pertaining to Kashmir”. The statement of the MoS in the PMO, Dr. Jitendra Singh that there is no “Kashmir issue” is welcome in this context, he added.
He said the displacement and resettlement of Kashmiri Pandit community is the only political issue that needs redressal at a national level as per the Homeland Resolution of 1991.
Virender Rainawhile making his presentation said that the issue of the onetime settlement of the overaged youth needs urgent attention of the Government. The issue could have been accommodated in the State budget along with the other welfare measures taken by the Government for the employees, pensioners and the dependants of pensioners. The Health Insurance issue also needs a review in order to accommodate all strata of the displaced society and keep the Government’s declarations in mind in this regard. The recruitment process under PM’s employment package which has been very slow by now also require urgent announcement of results of the examinations already held.
Others who attended the meeting included J.L.Kaul, Upinder Kaul, Kamal Bagati, Vimla Chrungoo, Vijay Saproo, secretary and Assistant. secretary respectively of DOPK, P.K.Bhan, Tej Krishen Jigyasu, B.L.Garyali, Shiban Lal Bhat, Ashok Chrungoo and Kanhya Lal Bhat.
