ccusing government of using wrong means to claim credibility in favor of the return proposal, Panun Kashmir has taken a very serious and strong view of the news item regarding the Apex committee meeting at Jammu wherein it was wrongly mentioned that its President attended its recently organized meeting.

Addressing media persons in a press conference here on Friday, leaders of Panun Kashmir, Ashwani Kumar Chragoo, M.L. Raina and Virender Raina said that mentioning of the name of its president in the government news item was a deliberate attempt by the organizers to claim credence and to confuse the community members.

They said that the fact of the matter is that the representatives of the Panun Kashmir publicly disassociated themselves from the so-called Committee, formed by the government on the issue of return, on the very next day of its formation.

Panun Kashmir also rejected the constitution and existence of the said committee, they said and added that they considered the act of spreading falsehood by the government as mischievous and motivated that aimed at creating confusion among the people, especially Kashmiri Pandits about the position of the leaders of this organization.

“It is also tantamount to claiming credibility in favour of the said committee by the government on the issue of return,” they said while condemning the act as nefarious in the most unambiguous terms.

They said that their party was committed to the establishment of Homeland in the Kashmir valley as per Margdarshan Resolution of 1991.

“The demand of Homeland made in the Margdarshan Resolution is the manifestation of 700 years of struggle of Kashmiri Hindu community which had to face seven exoduses till date,” they said and added that their community was a victim of the historical intent of ethnic cleansing in Kashmir.

They community remained always a victim of political marginalization, economic squeeze and social exclusion in Kashmir, they said and added that the forced exodus of the community in 1989-90 was a pre-planned conspiracy hatched by the Muslim fundamentalists and terrorists who received open support from the State of Pakistan in their crimes against humanity in Kashmir.

They said that the return and rehabilitation are two separate issues and need be dealt separately.
