KHC warns Govt against hidden agenda on return move

Kashmiri Hindu Conference (KHC) today warned the Government against its any hidden agenda on return move and said that it can’t hoodwink the community on the issue.

Addressing a meeting here today KHC chief, M L Thusoo, said mere enhancement of compensation for construction of house under PM’s package is not the only issue and the main issue is the political solution to the mass exodus problem.

Mr Thusoo said until and unless the primary issue is dealt with in a scientific approach the secondary issue is meaningless as the lasting stay of the community in the Valley with honour and dignity depends upon some remedial measures, which the Government is overlooking. The Government is diverting the attention from the main issue by liberal monitorial concessions, he added.

Convener, KPC, P L Koul Budgami, said the KPs may not choose to live in a geo-political set up which is woven in a particular theological matrix. Since the majority community of Valley does not prefer to live in co-existence with the minority hence only lip sympathy with the community will not work. The political solution to the KPs problems is the only option to the Pandits return to Valley, he added.

K L Ganjoo, A K Sadhu, M L Daftri and others also spoke on the occasion.

KHC expresses concern over new circular

Kashmir Hindu Conference (KHC) has expressed concern over the circular issued by Relief organization seeking completion of various new formalities for verification of the registration of displaced people from Valley.

The convener of the organization P L Kaul Badgami and its chairman M L Thusoo said this circular is totally draconian as after 23 years the migrants are again asked to place the proof before the Government in shape of State subjects and other documents duly signed by a gazetted officer.

The KHC in an appeal to Revenue, Relief and Rehabilitation Minister Raman Bhalla and Relief and Rehabilitation Commissioner, R K Pandita has urged them to withdraw the decision in the general interests of the migrant community. They warned that KHC will resort to protest in case the decision was not withdrawn.

KHC for grant of constitutional guarantees to Pandits

Kashmiri Hindu Conference (KHC) in a meeting here today held under the chairmanship of ML Thusoo has urged the Government to grant constitutional guarantees in favour of Kashmiri Pandits as proposed by Human Rights Commission (HRC) of India.

Mr Thusoo said the internally displaced Pandits are worst sufferers and the community as such merits minority status like other communities.

Addressing the meeting P L Kaul Badgami convener said the KPs are only community which socio-religiously symbolizes with Kashmir history and geography. Being the real aborigines of Kashmir they are builders of Kashmiri culture and traditions. The present political condition need to be understood in the right perspective and rigidity should be given up. The people in general need to welcome the socio-religious order and shun fundamentalism, which leads to violence, he added.

K L Ganjoo said that it is high time that the community should fight for its respectable to Valley in a single township.
