Panun Kashmir asks GoI to recognise that its perceptions of normalcy in Kashmir are mere “delusions”
JAMMU, APRIL 25: Panun Kashmir, one of the prominent organisations of migrant Kashmiri Pandits, on Tuesday asked the -Central Government “to recognise that its perceptions about fast unfolding normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir are not more than delusions driven by political expediency”.
Addressing a press conference, Panun Kashmir chairman Dr. Ajay Chrungoo expressed shock over the ghastly terrorist attacks on security forces in Poonch and Rajouri since October 2021, and asked the Government of India “are the jungles of Rajouri – Poonch area adjacent to Pakistan actually in our control”. How could terrorists inflict heavy casualties on our security forces since October 2021 in this area again and again? he added.
He also asked the Central Government whether it was ”aware about the intense radicalisation inside in Rajouri Poonch” and ”what is GoI’s assessment of security implications of opening of Mughal road and creating a legislative corridor between parts of South Kashmir and this area?”
He asked the Central Government to “recognise the internal failures in J&K with regard to handling of security affairs at the level of security establishment and the top political leadership at the helm”.
Pointing out that all the trouble is not coming from outside, the Panun Kashmir leader said that a lot of mischief is being nourished within also. “There is an imperative necessity to publicly accept that terrorist activity in Jammu and Kashmir is not only a result of Pakistan’s role, but also due to subversive entrenchment of Jihadi forces inside,” he added.
He said that “Normalcy Delusions have hoodwinked governmental wisdom and sanity”. It has created compulsions for the government not to accept reality, remain anesthetized to subversive mechanitions inside and indulge in acts of self-disinformation, he added.
Pointing out that the “process of accountability has become a causality in this environment of pervasive falsehood”, he said that “if bomb blasts are projected as incidents of bursting of gas cylinders, mere chemical reactions of substances like urea or short circuit mishaps of electric transformers, a vicious process of putting wool over open eyes is on”.
“How many times have we seen IEDs discovered accidentally in public places and people out of luck getting spared of ghastly human tragedy in case the devices had exploded,” he added.
Panun Kashmir holds the view that Tourist infusion into Kashmir based on ‘Normalcy disinformation’ and enforced return of Hindu employees who had run away from Kashmir after facing selective genocidal killings through the threat of severing of their livelihoods will not create Normalcy, he said. Only Defeating genocidal Jihadi war will bring Normalcy, he added.
Regretting that the Government of India continues to follow policies that seek to circumvent the real battle at hand, he said that “two religious cleansing campaigns of Hindus have been successfully accomplished by Jihadi separatists”. However, “the BJP governments have responded only by hostaging them back to Genocidal order,” he added.
“in our view following parameters make it amply clear how much abnormal has been the situation on the ground in Jammu and Kashmir during BJPs rule”, he said, pointing out that in Rajouri Poonch terrorists have regularly inflicted disproportionately heavy casualties on security forces without paying a price for many years now.
Jammu and Kashmir has emerged as the second largest hub of narcotics leaving behind Punjab, he said, adding that everybody knows narcotics and Islamic terrorism are two sides of the same coin. “These realities are the best indicators to determine whether terrorism is growing in J&K or is getting almost finished as we are being prodded to accept every now and then,” he added.
He appealed to appealed to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah “to abandon the approach of denial and recognise the grim realities on ground”.
