Rehabilitation of
ex-militants will be dangerous : PK
JAMMU, July 19: Panun
Kashmir (PK) while seriously viewing the Government’s rehabilitation policy for
ex- militants today said that despite apprehensions expressed by security
agencies the political leadership is hell bent upon pressurizing the Union
Government to legalise the Nepal route. Addressing a meeting of PK here which
was held to discuss the prevailing political scenario in the State, its president
Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo warned that rehabilitation policy of ex-militants will
be fraught with dangerous consequences. He said in a state where the victims of
terrorism continue to languish for want of a comprehensive rehabilitation
policy, the move to rehabilitate the ex militants based in Pak/PoK is
disgusting and is tantamount on rubbing salt on wounds on the victims of
terrorism. He said PK and all other nationalist forces have been consistently
opposing the State’s lukewarm policy on terrorism. The recent acts of terror in
the state and particularly in the Kashmir
valley hint towards recycling and regrouping of the “sleeper modules’’ in the
shape of ex-militants, he added.
He said PK
unequivocally demands that the Government of India takes a relook at the whole
issue in the light of security scenario and shun the policy of populism in such
a sensitive matter. Virender Raina spokesperson, PK said a section of the
political class of the state is pushing for Indo-Pak talks to settle Kashmir
issue, disregarding the fact of the matter that the so-called Kashmir dispute
lost its relevance after the formation of Bangladesh in 1971 and subsequent
Indira-Abdullah accord in 1975.
Upinder Kaul, general
secretary PK, Kamal Bhagati, organising secretary, Virender Kaul, N M Ganjoo,
Vijay Qazi and Ramesh Kaul among others attended the meeting.
