Settlement in clusters, colonies not acceptable to exiled Pandits: KPC

Excelsior Correspondent
NEW DELHI, Feb 19: Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC) in a meeting here, today made it clear that no return and rehabilitation formula in ghettos, clusters and colonies in Valley will be acceptable to exiled Kashmiri Pandit community.
The KPC president, Kundan Kashmiri while addressing the meeting said that no return formula is acceptable to the community which fails to recognize its geopolitical aspirations as community has suffered due to over 700 years persecution in Valley and it can’t tolerate any more now.
Taking serious exception to resettlement of KPs in colonies in the Valley as GKPD stated yesterday after meeting Home Minister, KPC cautioned the Modi Government and Home Minister, Amit Shah not to tread the same path which was adopted by the previous Governments of Congress in this regard. Such formula has been time and again rejected by the community and it is not going to accept the same at any cost.
The leadership at the Centre seems to have taken this serious issue as non–seriously with out consulting the victim community members who have to return and their leadership, as this most sensitive issue is related to future of their progeny and existence of the community.
Kundan Kashmiri, said that any return formula which fails to provide guarantee that there will be no migration in future through the hands of radical forces in Valley and they lead an honorable and dignified life which is only practicable in carving out of separate Kashyap Bhoomi for KPs in the Valley. He said whole community is united on separate Kashyap Bhoomi or homeland and it will not budge an inch from that.
