Jammu, Jan 20: Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Council
unanimously passed a resolution for creating conducive atmosphere for return of
displaced Kashmiri Pandits to the Valley with dignity. On Thursday, the
Legislative Assembly had unanimously passed a resolution for the return of KPs
to the valley.Today, Education Minister Naeem Akhter also favoured the passage
of resolution unanimously and said he strongly believed that Kashmir today
needs displaced Pandits back to restore the composite culture in Valley.
"This is an important issue and we want to send a message from this House
to them as a message in this regard has already been sent from the Lower
House," he told the Council.
Terming Kashmiri Pandits as inseparable part
of Kashmir, Minister said they have reached to different parts of the world and
are on the top positions in the corporate sector, but Kashmir is feeling a huge
vacuum due to their absence. Akhter said the migration of KPs was end of a civilization.
"If we have to restore that civilisation and culture back in Kashmir, we
have to bring back Kashmiri Pandits to Valley with dignity and honour for which
our doors and hearts are open and welcoming. But the process of their return
should not be restricted to sloganeering alone," Naeem said.
He also said
State Government should talk to this civilized community in this regard and
displaced Pandits should come back to Kashmir and restore the composite culture
in the Valley. As minister appealed to pass it unanimously, some MLCs including
MLC Dr Shehnaz Ganai, MLC Ghulam Nabi Monga and others tried to register their
suggestions on the issue, but Minister for Education stopped them by saying no
debate should be held on the issue and appealed to pass resolution unanimously.
Meanwhile, all members of the house supported the resolution and later the
Chairman of the Council passed the resolution unanimously by voice vote.
