Srinagar: Senior separatist leader and chairman Democratic Freedom Party Shabir Ahmad Shah held meetings with the party representatives who had come from Kishtwar, Ramban, Doda, Rajouri, Udhampur, Bhaderwah and Poonch, regarding the prevailing political situation in the state.
His spokesman said after going through the viewpoints of participants of the meeting, Shah said, Recommendations of Parliamentary Committee regarding the settlement of West Pakistan refugees reiterated that such conspiracies are aimed at spreading communalism and tarnishing the image of goodwill among the people, besides eroding the demography and Muslim majority status of the state.
BJP government is playing a religion card in fulfilling its wicked agenda here for which we have to unite to counter their anti-Kashmir designs. All sections of society have to unite in this regard to combat such RSS onslaught. The recommendations of Parliamentary Committee vis-à-vis West Pakistan refugees settlement are unacceptable. We would never allow any injustice or discrimination between Hindus and Muslims in Jammu province. People from different religions have been living here for centuries with peace and harmony and well surely counter any conspiracy hatched to tarnish such image of the people of this province, Shah said.
Appealing intellectuals and political analysts across India to stress upon New Delhi to reconsider the decision and adopt the same policy with these refugees, as was adopted with Bangladeshi and Sri-Lankan refugees.
