APMCC accuses State, Central Govts of befooling migrants

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Nov 8: All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC) has taken a strong exception to the politically motivated approach of the State and Central Governments for befooling the Kashmiri Pandit migrants which was evident during the visit of Parliamentary Sub Committee on Home Affairs on November 7 at Circuit House Jammu where Kashmiri Pandits were made to wait for five hours and then converted the whole affair as an open darbar to suit the political agenda of the Government and the administration.
In a statement issued here today it said APMCC delegation comprising Vinod Pandit, Chairman, King Bharati, National spokesperson, Arun Kandroo, general secretary, Rajesh Tingloo, Executive Member Legal Cell, Tej Krishan Dhar, and Vimarsh Koul executive members APMCC, the State administration totally failed in its duty to effectively manage the affairs by making it a free for all event even after allotting separate time to several delegations forcing APMCC to boycott the interaction with PSC members.
APMCC activists also castigated the State Government for its blatant lies by mentioning the name of APMCC among those who had interacted with the PSC delegation through an official handout even as APMCC had boycotted the meeting and not submitted its memorandum.
They further declared that APMCC would write an open letter to the President of India about the developments of the day as well as politicization of the PSC interaction by adopting pick and choose method to make it a political event that suits the powers that be.
They said that this biased policy of the State as well as the Central Governments towards Kashmiri Pandits has taken a toll on the overall situation of KPs, adding all this was being done to denigrate Kashmiri migrants by keeping them engaged to avoid addressing the core issues of forced mass exodus and other welfare schemes for the community.
