SRINAGAR: Providing separate homeland to Kashmiri Pandits will communalize Kashmir atmosphere and a send negative image to the outer world, Huriyat Conference JK leader Shabbir Shah said on Saturday adding he will oppose the move tooth and nail.
I oppose the move wherein a separate homeland is being given to the Pandits. It will serve no good purpose and rather would multiply the problems. We want Pandits to live in their ancestral homes and their old localities so that harmony between the two communities could prevail again, Shah said.
If certain amount is being given to the Pandits by GOI, they must utilize the same for renovating their old properties, he advised.
Giving separate homeland to them would send a signal that Muslims in Kashmir are communal which in reality is a mere propaganda being devised by the divisive forces, Shah stated.
Commenting over the coordination of his amalgam and the conglomerate of senior separatist leader Syed Ali Geelani, Shah stated, As far as the coordination between the two groups is concerned, we have already made it clear that we will held proper consultations over the serious issues including the settlement of refugees, separate homeland to Pandits and over the elections.
He stated further that his amalgam has already started the anti-poll campaign in Valley and that in the coming days the same shall be carried with more vigor.
We have earlier as well made the boycott campaign a success during the LS polls. We have started the boycott campaign in valley and the close coordination for the same will be with the Geelani sahib.
