Sir,
It is most disheartening that after twenty six years of exile the Governments of Jammu and Kashmir and Central Government are still in confusion for implementing their own agenda of settlement of KPs in the valley. During the early 90s there was a paralysed coalition Government. After the turmoil the exodus became more vexed due to political interference of all the parties. Earlier the KPs who were considered staunch Congress loyalists shifted their loyalty towards BJP. Now BJP at the Centre and in State in coalition with PDP State Government is unable to even provide employment which was declared in 2008 and both are unable to declare open policy for rehabilitation of Pandits in Valley.
In present scenario it is impossible for the people to have dignified return and everlasting retention in the Valley.To utter confusion of general masses and to other intellectuals, it looks as time is fast evading our return to the Valley. The Kashmiri Pandit community is at the cross roads of history and it is a fact that we have gained little so far and are deficient in vote politics where the number matters. Majority of the youth has left even the Jammu province in search of livelihood and have settled in the other parts of India. Some of them are transiting to other countries. Any high luring can make them to come back which is impossible for Government to negotiate.The left over human resource in Jammu has been made absolutely of less use by the Government and are hardly in a position to demonstrate their strength for the negotiations in their own favour.The Central Government is delaying to implement the employment package which has been announced now a decade before. The planners think the problem will be solved on its own as the Indian union has done for other problems like NE, Assam and Punjab and now it is J and K problem.
Yours etc….
Dr Ramesh Kumar
