JAMMU, Aug 21: Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC) has reiterated its demand regarding carving out of a separate palace in Valley and granting it a UT status for resettlement of exiled Kashmiri Pandits.
In a statement issued here, today KPC chief, Kundan Kashmiri said that the Pandits being the indigenous people of Kashmir have first right over territory of the State and it was due to the wrong policies adopted by the successive governments in past that the these peace loving people were forced to leave the Valley under a game plan hatched across the border with the support of separatists and other anti national forces within the State.
Kashmiri said that Pandits being the main stakeholders of Kashmir are being ignored in every process and the Government should desist from such policy in future. He alleged that while announcing the healing touch policy for the Kashmiri people, former Chief Minister, Mufti Mohammed Sayeed completely ignored them and the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has now also shown keen interest in embracing the Kashmiris during his recent Independence Day speech.
Kashmiri said that KPC is in no way opposite to such a gesture of PM but at the same time it demanded that the problems of the displaced Pandits who are the main victims of terrorism be also looked into and the community too be given a healing touch by resettling it with honour and dignity after carving out a separate peace of land within Valley by granting it a UT status where there will be free flow of Indian Constitution.
