JAMMU, Nov 13: Chairman, West Pakistani Hindu Refugee Front (WPHRF), Sub Major (Retd) Madan Lal Dubgotra, expressed great dismay over PDP president Mehbooba Mufti’s statement that the “Kashmiri Pandits who are camping in Jammu for several months and demanding that they be relocated to Jammu till situation improves in Kashmir, should be adjusted in Jammu.
“Mehbooba Mufti who had been two times Chief Minister of J&K had never spoken even a single word for the West Pakistani Refugees (WPRs), who were living in Jammu region under deteriorated condition and without residentship of J&K since their migration from Pakistan on partition of India during 1947, who were deprived of their basic right of living besides required education, employment, right to immovable property and the voting rights and were considered as Non Residents of J&K,” Dubgotra said.
He said Mehbooba did never listened the voice of WPRs who were repeatedly demanding for residentship and it only became possible when Centre Government abrogate the Article 370 and the WPRs got the domicile status of J&K after 72 years of their migration to J&K. “Mehbooba’s such statements may instigate the terrorists and the Jihadis groups sitting in Pakistan for more selective killings of non-locals and the KPs employed in public sector in the Valley,” Dubgotra added.
The WPHRF chairman said if the KPs and other non locals in Government jobs in the Valley are absorbed in Jammu, terrorists in the valley will be encouraged and Kashmir will see another expulsion of KPs and other non-Muslim locals and a wrong signal will go the international community that the condition of Kashmir has worsen after abrogation of Article 370 and the terrorism will spreading its roots towards Jammu also.
“Therefore, it is appealed to the Lieutenant Governor that the security forces may be issued suitable directive to create conducive atmosphere for the safety and security of the non-local employees in the Valley instead of absorbing them in Jammu,” he said.
