Jammu, June 6: Kashmiri Pandit leader and Bharatiya Janata Party’s Incharge, Department of Political Affairs and Feedback Sunday said “terror won’t deter our resolve of resettlement in Kashmir”.
In a statement issued here, he said, “Pakistan supported and abetted terror activities will not deter our resolve of resettlement of Hindu minorities in Kashmir in due course of time. We are determined to resettle the Kashmiri Pandit community in Kashmir as per their geo-political concerns.”
Chrungoo, who was responding to the situation created in context of the recent killing of Rakesh Pandit, a BJP municipal councilor in Tral in a Facebook live programme at Jammu, expressed his concern over the “security lapse” in his killing. He said that the security cover had a definite purpose and even a small mistake had huge and dangerous implications, as was witnessed a few days ago.
“Pakistan is bent upon creating trouble in Jammu and Kashmir and now it is observed that it has acquired new means to drop ammunition for the terrorists active in Jammu and Kashmir. It hasn’t reconciled to peace and tranquility in the region,” Chrungoo said.
“Pakistan’s designs to use its diplomatic influence in US to bring in Kashmir debate in every sphere speaks of its desperateness on the issue. Last year too, it tried to do similar mischief making use of lobbyists, Congressmen, terror supporters, and well-organised grassroot networks of American Pakistani Muslims, working hard to advance a radical, Islamist-inspired agenda at the highest levels in the United States, using Kashmir as its cause. One Texas-based group, Friends of Kashmir, stands at the forefront at one of these efforts.”
Chrungoo said: “On 5 August 2020, Friends of Kashmir and its head, a prominent pro-Pakistani activist, writer and self-described poet named Ghazala Habib, organised an online event, in collaboration with the Pakistani embassy and its consulate in Houston, to discuss the ‘Crisis in Kashmir’. In a sign of the Pakistani regime’s growing frustration, speakers included the two co-chairs of the United States Congress’ Pakistan caucus, the president of Pakistan administered Kashmir, and the Pakistani ambassador to the United States and the Houston consul general. Other speakers included Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, along with Texas state legislators Ron Reynolds and Terry Meza. Sharing a screen with such illustrious figures, however, were open supporters of terror.”
He said: “Pakistan’s open support to terror and terror regime will never yield results in its favour since India would never make any compromise on militancy. The people in Jammu and Kashmir have rejected the ideas like militancy, self-determination, Azadi and autonomy lock, stock and barrel. India has resolved to fight terror to finish and the people overwhelmingly support the resolve of the government led by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
