SRINAGAR: As the union government is reportedly preparing for
settlement of Kashmiri migrant Pandits in separate enclaves in
different parts of Kashmir Valley besides granting citizenship rights
to the 1947 West Pakistan refugees, the militant leadership is
exasperated against these plausible plans terming them a part of a
big conspiracy to change demography and divide the state on communal
lines.
In a tele statement, the United Jihad Council Chief Syed Sallahuddin
observed that all such plausible plans will be opposed tooth and
nail. He alleged that through these proposals, the government of
India wants to snatch Muslim identity of Kashmir besides changing its
demographic character.
The state of Jammu and Kashmir has always displayed an unprecedented
communal harmony. We will never allow Delhi regime to divide our
social fabric on communal lines. We welcome our Hindu migrants who had
migrated unfortunately outside Kashmir valley because of Jagmohans
plans. We welcome their return but they should settle in their native
villages and their own homes. Indian regime will not be allowed to
create separate zones for Kashmiri Pandits as it is a big conspiracy
which will tell upon the integrity of the state and its interests.
This will not be allowed at any cost, the UJC Chief observed. Saying
that Kashmiri Migrant Pandits are a part and parcel of Kashmiri
nation, Sallahuddin said that history bears witness that while the
whole India was burning there was not a single communal riot in
Kashmir at the time of partition. And this communal harmony will
prevail in future as well.
He said the State subject rights to be given to Pakistan refugees and
their settlement is against the international covenants and
international law. The people who migrated at the time of partition
from Pakistan in Indian side in no way have any right to be permanent
citizens of Jammu and Kashmir. This will be encountered tooth and nail
by the people of Jammu and Kashmir by all the separatist forces. The
UJC chief remarked that through grant of state subject rights to
Pakistan refugees and settlement of Kashmiri migrant Pandits in
separate colonies, the BJP led government in Delhi wants to divide
Kashmir communally and want to make these beneficiaries as its vote
bank.
