The Demand of Pandits for a separate Homeland
with a union territory status in India can not be ignored. The pandits demand
a sperate place "Panun Kashmir".
The Government of Jammu & Kashmir has
mostly had a member from muslim majority at the helm of affairs, and whosoever
he has been has always been indifferent to pandits. The pandits dont get enough
share in Govt. Jobs though Kashmiri Pandits are probably the only 100% educated
community in India. The children do not get thier share in professional colleges,
The pandits have been killed & made to live as refugees.
And now ….in this session of the state
assembly the Govt introduces and passes the SHARIAT BILL. The bill makes SHARIAT
LAW applicable in Kashmir and was introduced in assembly by Rariq Hameed Karra
, who is part of the ruling alliance in Kashmir. The bill was supported by
Congress (I) and PDP. Congress (I) which ridicules anyone who speaks of hindusim
as "Communal" find nothing wrong in passing a Shariat Bill In Kashmir.
To put more salt on the wound of Kashmiri
Pandits the same House rejected the bill meant to protect the Temples of Kashmiri
Pandits in Kashmir. These temples are either been destroyed by Islamic fundamentalist
or forcibly occupied by the Mafia. The state is not even willing to hand over
the affairs of temples belonging to Kashmiri Pandits back to Kashmiri Pandits.
Well……this may be one of the stepping
stone on way of making " BHARAT " as "Islamic Republic Of India"………
