Protests against Kashmiri Pandits' township 'managed unrest': BJP MLC
BJP called the protests against composite township of Kashmiri Pandits as 'managed unrest'
Terming the protests against the proposed composite township for the Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley as "managed unrest," BJP today said separatists have lost their ground and are making efforts to revive themselves by raking up such issues. "It is a managed unrest (over the settlement of KPs in proposed composite township in Kashmir)," BJP MLC Surinder Ambardar told reporters here today.
He said that separatists have lost their ground and they are making dying efforts to revive themselves by raking up such issues. He said that KPs would be settled in smart city proposed in Kashmir Valley as per the decision taken by Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh last week.
They would be settled without displacing anybody around that city, he said adding BJP is very serious over the issue. Ambardar, who is the first Kashmiri Pandit on the BJP ticket to have entered the Legislative Council said, that KPs would be taken on board for their return and rehabilitation in the Valley. He said that it is not a migration of four lakh KPs from Kashmir Valley but migration of a civilisation which is 5,000 years old.
He maintained that KPs will definitely return in Kashmir, and revive their culture, traditions and roots in the Valley. Referring to the militancy in Valley, he claimed that only 3.5% of the total population took up guns against Government of India and KPs.
