Srinagar: Kashmir pandits based on Kashmir Valley They face a “demographic erosion,” he said Monday in the community on Monday, and urged the central governments and J & K to make efforts to verify it by finishing their “systemic exclusion.”
“In 2008 there were 808 families of non -migrant Kashmira in the Valley. Today the number has fallen below 650. This. Demographic erosion It is not accidental. It is a direct result of systemic exclusion And the psychological war against our community, even when the central government claims to support us, “said Sanjay Tickoo, president of Kashmir Pandit Sangharsh Samiti, an organization that works for Kashmiri Pandits based in Valley.
Tickoo blamed the leadership of migrants Pandits of Kashmiro for the difficult situation of the community members who stayed in the valley even after the 1990 insurgency.
He said that the pandits that refused to leave the land of their ancestors face sustained bureaucratic apathy and political marginalization. After a long struggle, the central government in December 2014 extended partial relief by introducing a rehabilitation program for Kashmir Pandits, under which he devised two packages of the Prime Minister in 2008 and 2015. The packages included homes for migrants to encourage their return to the valley, employment and increased monthly assistance of RS 500 per family in 1990 to RS 13,000 per family. According to government figures, 6,000 positions announced in PM packages, about 3,800 migrants have been provided to the government.
However, Tickoo claimed that non -migrants’ pandits were denied any help. “The most distressing aspect of this prolonged injustice is the betrayal of the migrant leadership sections of Kashmir Pandit, who instead of supporting his brothers, colluded with the administration to ensure that the benefits destined for the community not migrant will never really be implemented,” he said.
Tickoo appealed to Omar Abdullah’s government to help the cashmir pandits based in the valley to obtain the benefits destined for the community. “The continuous negligence of our problems has caused an anguish anguish, and we believe that the time has come for these concerns to be recognized and serious. If this indifference continues, we can be forced to launch campaigns in various forms and bring these long rents to the attention of international forums,” he said.
