Awami Ittihaad Party (AIP) president and MLA Langate Er Rasheed has asked central and state government to wind up the industry established for so called rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits and appealed Kashmiri leaders of all thoughts to give up their personal agendas and egos to protect the rights of Muslim majority community.In a statement to KNS, while addressing party workers at Sopore Town Er Rasheed condemned central government for providing three thousand jobs and six thousand residential quarters to these self styled migrants.
Er Rasheed said. “It were the Kashmiri Muslims who suffered worst at the hands of state and non state actors. Their children were deprived of education due to turmoil and used as human shields in encounters and were subjected to forced labor for more than 15 years. These Kashmiri Pandits didn’t cared about Kashmir which they have been calling Materebumi and do forget that from Ikhwanis to NC workers and from police Jawans to informers of security agencies it were Kashmiri Muslims who despite being hated by huge majority of Kashmiris for their acts, fought and sacrificed their lives for upholding Indian Flag in Kashmir. It is Kashmiri Muslims and people of Chinab and Pirpanchal regions who deserve the packages for their unbelievable sufferings but Central government is provoking them by treating Kashmiri Pandits like very very important citizens.”
Er Rasheed alleged that the act is purely to reduce the supremacy of Muslims community in the administration which is already under threat after RSS sponsored government has taken over in the state, as it has started removing Muslim officers from prestigious postings in civil secretariat and Jammu region.He added. “How can these Pandits still be called migrants if they will serve in a place where from they claim to have been forced for migration?” He appealed political parties, bar association, trade and other organisations to discharge their duties and fight to get IIT and IIM for Kashmir and stop New Delhi from changing the nomenclature of bureaucracy and administration by rewarding Pandits with Job packages.
