Time to convert dreams into reality in regard to KP resettlement: Chrungoo

Jammu 15 April (KNS) :"It is time to convert dreams into reality in regard to the return and resettlement of the Kashmiri Pandit community in the valley of Kashmir. The emotional connect needs to be reinforced as the real connect in terms of the prevailing socio-political climate of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir", said Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, senior BJP and KP leader and Incharge: Deptt. of Political Affairs & Feedback, J&K-BJP.
 
As per the statement issued to kashmir news service (KNS) ,Chrungoo was reacting to the RSS Sarkarivah, Dattatreya Hosbole's address to the Kashmiri Pandits through virtual mode delivered in connection with the "Navreh-Mahautsav" on Wednesday. The words used in the speech acknowledging the sacrifice, resilience and contributions of the Pandits deserve gratitude. Sahasrbole made history when he said, 'the whole nation is natmastak (bowing its head) before the Kashmiri Pandit community for its struggle in exile in order to protect and preserve its identity, Dharma and cultural tradition in the most difficult times of its history'. The well oriented address represented the acknowledgement of the fact that the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits was not only the failure of the governments concerned but also of the nation as a whole.
 
"There can be no two opinions regarding the return and resettlement of the Kashmiri Pandit community and other minorities of the valley in Kashmir in the near future. The off-repeated rhetoric by one and all that 'Kashmir is incomplete without Kashmiri Pandits' and 'the Pandits need to be resettled with safety, honour & dignity' need to be translated into action in real terms. This is possible only when the Kashmiri Pandits are assured of the sense of security than security alone in the valley."
 
In order to guarantee the sense of security, four important preludes require to be considered by the governments concerned urgently paving way for smooth resettlement of the displaced community in the valley. These preludes will also work as the confidence-building measures as well.

Moreover, as the RSS Sarkarivah said that it is not only the governments but the whole nation that has to support the initiative in favour of the Pandits in Kashmir as their responsibility to overcome any eventuality of a future failure in this regard.
 
"The four preludes comprise the political empowerment of the displaced community by way of reservation/nomination in the Assembly of the UT, the constitution of a Special Crimes Tribunal-Court to go into the excesses committed against the minorities of J&K over the last 35 years, the establishment of a Board through a legislative process for protection, preservation and promotions of all Hindu temples and shrines in Kashmir valley and single place settlement resolution of the displaced community in the valley of Kashmir assuring the sense of security required".
 
The nation, state, polity, government and the political parties need to come on the same page to make a new history in Jammu and Kashmir.

The issue of the displacement and resettlement of the Kashmiri Pandit community, though is an emotional concern as well, but it needs solution on a humanitarian and real-time basis which will guarantee enjoyment of a full life to the people concerned.

For any section of the humanity, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom to live one's life as per one's choice are the minimum human and fundamental rights that need guanrantee and assurance and are thus uncompromisable, when the community has already suffered so much over the last 32 years of exile.(KNS)
