RESOLUTION 2.

ADOPTED IN THE PANUN KASHMIR NATIONAL CONVENTION AT New Delhi

ON 27TH DECEMBER, 2009

It is a matter of extreme apathy that the exiled Kashmiri Pandits are forced to live in sub-human conditions and subsistence in so-called migrant camps in Jammu and else where for the last twenty years. There is no policy for reversing the genocide and rehabilitating the community in its homeland and the Governments of India as well as the J&K state have treated the holocaust with bizarre inaptitude and abandonment. In last twenty years the Government has made empty announcements and peace-meal return formuli, only to further compound the plight of the community.

Panun Kashmir has already conveyed to the Government its reservations with regard to the peace-meal return proposals and has demanded a holistic approach converging on the Margadarshan resolution for establishing a political dispensation for our rehabilitation. It has time and again suggested comprehensive steps to ameliorate the deprivation of the community in exile. 

We reiterate the following.

(i) In order to alleviate the plight of the Hindu community living in exile, the State Government should immediately lift the moratorium on the employment of the Hindu Youth in the state services and implement the Prime Minister’s package without confusing it with return and to create employment to the tune of twenty-five thousand jobs for the displaced youth. 

(ii) Delinking of the employment package and other relief measures from return of Hindus to Kashmir. Panun Kasmir is convinced that the Hindus of Kashmir will not return to Kashmir on conditions laid down by the Separatist and Jihadi forces.

(iii) The Government of India should immediately create a separate Ministry of Rehabilitation and take direct charge of the relief and rehabilitation measures for the exiled community.

(iv) That the sale of properties by the exiled Kashmiri Pandits be declared null and void and the properties be restored to the original owners.
