JAMMU, Apr 16: Expressing his serious concern over the recent hobnobbing of certain individuals and some affiliates of All India Kashmiri Samaj with the separatist leaders like Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Omar Farooq in Srinagar over the issue of return of Kashmiri Pandits to the Valley, Panun Kashmir Convener Dr. Agnishekhar has warned such individuals and groups not to take the hapless Kashmiri Pandit community for granted.
Dr Agnishekhar said that these individuals have no mandate to enter into any negotiations with the separatists on behalf of the community so far as their permanent geo-political return to the Kashmir Valley is concerned. He asked these Individuals, to make public the jointly signed reported memorandum of understanding and the copy of which has been reportedly sent to New Delhi through one Delhi – based Civil- Society activist. The community has a right to know the persons who have put their signatures on this document.
Dr Agnishekhar also asked AIKS president Moti Kaul to clear his stand over this issue as AIKS affiliates and some individuals who met Hurriyat leaders have reportedly rejected homeland demand of Panun Kashmir and pleaded with Hurriat leaders for allowing them to have a Satellite twin city for Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley which has been recently proposed by AIKS.
Dr Agnishekhar said that the 23- year old KP struggle has entered a crucial phase where all -out efforts are being made at the behest of agencies and the powers that be to dilute the Homeland demand of Kasshmiri Pandits by towing the line of pro-establishment.
The community has no option but to reject out-rightly the vested interests within the community and remain watchful against all those who attempt to damage the larger community interests as a whole which has far reaching wider ramifications.
