JAMMU, June 1:Youth All India Kashmiri Samaj (YAIKS) activists held a protest demonstration in front of Press Club here against the ongoing proxy war in Kashmir Valley and the recent statement of Union Home Minster Rajnath Singh that GoI is working on one time solution of Kashmir problem.
The demonstration was led by YAIKS chief R K Bhat who in his address asked Home Minister of India to explain the contours of a permanent solution to Kashmir issue and what strategy GoI has adopted in this regard.
He wanted to know why the policy in this regard is not open. Bhat said how GoI is going to find a one time solution of Kashmir issue without taking the Kashmiri Pandits the indigenous people and basic sufferers of terrorism into confidence. He said Pandits are main stakeholders to Kashmir issue and no solution can be acceptable without taking the community into confidence.
Bhat said Pandits are important components of Kashmiri culture having over 5000 year old written history. Many community people have sacrificed their lives for the nation, its unity and integrity and being the patriots KPs are leading an exiled life in their own country for last 28 years now. So how can GoI think of any decision without taking the aspirations of Pandits into consideration.
Bhat said that Government has itself admitted that the proxy war is going on in the Valley against the nation and national forces, then why Valley posted migrant employees have been kept hostage there. Why these employees will live there as a scapegoat when Government has totally failed to ensure their safety and security and ensuring basic amenities to 2000 migrant employees who volunteered to serve in the Valley to restore the composite culture and secular values there?.
Bhat accused the Government of misleading the community for national interests and there is no concrete policy for honourable return and rehabilitation of the community and all claims in this regard seem a mockery only.
He said that the community has pinned high hopes in Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and in case he too fails to rehabilitate the community then who else can do it.
He demanded immediate dialogue be started with genuine representatives of Pandits, Valley posted employees be shifted to Jammu or other parts of the country till proxy war is over and newly selected employees and 221 petition holders be asked to join their duties at Jammu till normalcy is fully restored in Valley.
YAIKS also warned that in case these demands are not met immediately the organization will be forced to launch nation-wide agitation.
The others who addressed the demonstrators included B K Bhat and Sunil Koul its vice presidents, Manoj Handoo general secretary, Sanjay Ganjoo and Ajay Safaya secretaries, Sunil Dhar, Sunil Bhat advisors, D N Bhat, Shiban Krishan, Pushkar Nath Pandita and Mohan Lal.
