Kashmiri Hindus express concern over issue of immigration of Rohingyas in Jammu

KP Joint Action organized a meeting today at Jammu to respond to the current socio-political situation. The important meeting was addressed by Shri Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, Chairman, KP Joint Action, R.K.Bhat, General Secretary, Shri Virender Raina, National Spokesperson-PK, Manoj Handoo, Sameer Bhat and Kalhan Kachroo.

Shri. Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, Chairman, KP Koint Action and President, PK while addressing the meeting expressed serious concern over the issue of illegal immigration of Bangladeshis and Rohangyas in Jammu region. He congratulated the government of India for its stand on the issue particularly the way it has put its stand before the apex court regarding the Rohangyas issue. He said that there is an imperative need to bring out a Report on the subject stating clearly as to how these illegal immigrations took place at all and who were responsible for their transportation and settlement in a sensitive border state. We urge the state government to urgently complete the process of having an in-depth study of the situation and also include the members of the civil society in its efforts and come out with the Report so that the necessary steps for their deportation are undertaken. There cannot be any threat to the internal security graver than the organised threat of these illegal immigrants. Unfortunately, there are some elements who are more interested to show that the Indian political spectrum is divided on the issue. But the governments have a clear cut role so far as the short and long term goals of national security and integrity are concerned. The presence of these refugees has given new dimensions to the crime scenario in not less than seven states of the country. The Jammu and Kashmir state has been pin-pointed as the “ultimate safe haven” for these illegal immigrants. An appeal is made to the government to take this issue very seriously in order to identify them with a view to deport them in due course.

Shri R. K. Bhat, President, YAIKS and General Secretary, KP Joint Action in his speech said that the government is appealed to immediately take a decision on the issue of one time settlement of the educated and overaged youth of the community who have been expecting the new dispensation to take the call. There are complaints pending regarding the ration distribution to the displaced people which is the anti thesis of a welfare state. We demand that the process for recruitment of the 3000 package employees be initiated in a time bound manner and a separate agency be set up for this purpose. The valley based employees of the displaced community should be brought at par with the other ‘migrant’ employees. This is a genuine demand that needs the government’s attention. We have expressed satisfaction as well for the government’s decision regarding the orders of the pending court cases employees.

Shri. Virender Raina in his address said that an overwhelming constituency in the country favours the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A. They are on the same page as the majority nationalist population of the J&K state is on the subject. The people of these states favour the abrogation of these Articles from the Indian constitution as they tend to create a state within a state and are responsible for creating a constitutional justification for secession and separatism. These Articles have potential to reinforce the absurdity of the so-called sub-nationalism drawing its inspiration from Muslim Majoritarianism. There is a perceptible vigour and vitality among the people of the nation to end all sorts of terrorism and in particular the Pak sponsored and supported lethal terror in Kashmir. The assertion of the US to ‘see an end to Islamic terrorism in Kashmir and see India as a bright spot in the world’ is being appreciated by the people of the Indian nation at large. The Kashmiri Pandit community expresses its deep gratitude to the overwhelming response of the nationalist forces for the concern it is showing to the Kashmir imbroglio.
