PK takes serious view of curtailing Amarnath yatra
Panun Kashmir (PK) has taken a serious view of the decision taken by Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) to curtail the period of Amarnath yatra by 15 days this year.
This decision is in utter violation of the spirit of the yatra and smacks of a design to obstruct the smooth passage of the age–old traditional yatra of the Hindu fraternity, PK president, Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, told reporters here today.
While condemning the decision the PK leader alleged that it seems that the decision was taken by the Board under pressure from the quarters inimical to the yatra. "We are in agreement of the contention of the Baba Amarnath Yatri Nyas, Jammu, which is spearheading the movement against the ill advised decision of SASB and extend our full support to the Niyas in its endeavour’’, he added.
He said the PK would appeal to the individual members of the SASB to rise to the occasion and respect the sensibilities of the Hindu society in this regard and not to do anything that hampers the articles of faith and tradition.
PK national spokesperson, Ravinder Raina announced the decision of his organization to organize the 3rd phase of the Kashmir Sankalp Yatra in the third week of April this year . The yatra, which will be led by Mr Chrungoo will cover states of Maharastra, Delhi and Rajasthan . The main purpose of the yatra is to launch an awareness campaign on Kashmir, he added.
He said the 21-day yatra will focus on secessionist conspiracy in J&K, Amarnath yatra period curtailment and homeland demand for KPs in the Valley of Kashmir.
Mr Chrungoo said that PK also welcomed the movement initiated by civil society led by , Anna Hazare against corruption. The war against the corruption has fundamentally taken the position of the second freedom struggle in this country.
Those present in the press conference included Jagdish Raj Dogra president , SD Sabha, Jammu, Upinder Koul general secretary PK and O P Sharma its patron.
