A seminar titled “Ee Bharat Abhiyan — Kashmir Ki Aur,” was organised by the Bharat Raksha Manch along with Hindu Jan Jagruti Samiti and Panun Kashmir here on Monday.
Dr Ajay Churungoo, head of Panun Kashmir, an organisation which has been spearheading the movement for the return of the Hindus to the valley, spoke on the 25 years of struggle of the displaced Hindus of Kashmir, and how successive Governments failed the restore peace in the valley. Representatives Sri Ram Sene, Shiv Sena, Hindu Makkal Katchi, Hindu Sanhati and other Hindu organisations from 10 different States attended the seminar.
Bharat Raksha Manch national co-convener Murali Manohar Sharma said the joint conference would urge the Government of India to take immediate steps to prevent Kashmir and entire Indian nation from becoming another Islamist controlled territory like parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, or Iraq. It is time that the Government removed its blinkers and recognised the fundamentalist upsurge in Kashmir and as a part of the global Jihad engulfing the entire Indian nation. The open movement of dreaded terrorists of leT, Hizbul Mujahideen and JeM in the separatist protests is a warning to the very democratic setup of the country, Sharma said.
The Bharat Raksha Manch along with 15 other nationalist and Hindu organizations is holding the two-day conference, which is the 7th nationwide initiative wherein 160 nationalist and Hindu organisations across the country are collaborating to support the return and rehabilitation of the Kashmiri Hindus on the terms that Panun Kashmir has been highlighting since the last 25 years.
Hindu JanJagruti Samiti national spokesperson Ramesh Shinde said the present policies of the State and the Centre are allowing encouragement and support from within to the separatists. The entire spectrum of political parties operating in the State has bent to accommodate Muslim separatism and communalism. The recent wanton killings of our security persons, infiltration, subversive and anti-national activities are dashing the hopes of Kashmiri Hindus to return to their homeland, he said.
Others who spoke included Dr Bimalendu Mohanty, Suryakant Kelkar, Vishnu Jain, AB Tripathy and Sanjib Hota.
