JAMMU, Mar 14: Senior BJP and KP leader, in charge, Department of Political Feedback, BJP-J&K, Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo today said
this is the appropriate time for the Government to establish and institute a Special Crimes Tribunal to go into the issue of genocide against the Kashmiri Pandit community and the other minority communities of Jammu and Kashmir who bore the brunt of terrorism in J&K for the last over 32 years.
He was interacting with the prominent citizens and the youth of the Kashmiri Hindu community here, today.
He said that the story depicted in the film, The Kashmir Files is a true saga of events of 1989 and after in the Kashmir Valley. It symbolises the pain, torture, humiliation and exodus of the Pandits who were given an ultimatum in the Kashmir Valley in and after 1989. There were attempts made by a number of vested interests to put the truth of Kashmir under carpet, he added.
Chrungoo said the ethnic cleansing of the Pandits from Kashmir was showcased wrongly by varied political and human rights forces as well as by a section of the media as a ‘simple migration of people due to fear of life’. They deliberately created a facade about the events and tried to malign Jagmohan, the then Governor of J&K, for the wrongs done to Kashmiri Pandits. It was a conspiracy hatched up to keep the world in dark about the true picture of Kashmir and Kashmiri Pandits, he added.
He said the successive Governments failed to take cognizance of the decision of the NHRC that the Kashmiri Pandits were the victims of acts akin to genocide in Kashmir. It also observed in 1999 that a genocide type design may exist against the Kashmiri Pandits in the minds and utterances of the terrorists in Kashmir”, the BJP leader remarked.
