Punish perpetrators, supporters behind KP exodus from Kashmir: Rana

Jammu, Mar 15: Describing ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley as one of the major human rights violations of the twentieth century in the world, Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana Tuesday sought exemplary punishment for the actors, perpetrators and terror supporters for hounding out the miniscule minority from their homes and hearths.
Devender Rana said those creating suspicions, alibis and excuses were actually insulating the perpetrators, menacingly being sponsored and supported by the neighboring country. This is a dangerous machination, emboldening the persecutors to carry out their radicalized agenda without any impunity. The irony is that the terror ecosystem is seeking to portray the perpetrators as victims and to inflict ignominy to all those having braved the brunt, he added.
“With quarter of the 21st century coming to close, the displaced community continues to be refugees in their own country—this is something incompressible”, Devender Rana said while addressing a civic reception at Nagrota accorded by Sarpanch Nagrota Lala Kishore, Sarpanch Nadore Rajinder Singh, Sarpanch Kattalbatal Rekha Jamwal, Sarpanch Khanpur Mohd Iqbal, Pt. Rameshwar Dutt, Som Nath Khajuria and Nagrota Bazar Association.
He said the truth of Kashmir should be told objectively, loudly and fearlessly, the Senior BJP leader said the nervousness among the sympathizers can be well understood as their narrative of over three decades is falling apart into bits and pieces. They have no courage to face the ugly truth, which is glaring at them and shattering their conscience, if any, he said, adding that these people have done no good to the majority population in the Valley as well, who have been pushed to gun-culture, alien to the land of saints and sages.
Accompanied by District President Jammu Rural Rajinder Singh Chib, and Babu Ram Bhagat, Rana also addressed series of Booth level meetings at Nagrota, Kattalbatal and Nadore.
Rana said the tragic events of the nineties unfolding over the past few days have rattled all those across the country who have been weaving the cobweb of dividing the people, Hindus and Muslims in particular, for their vote bank politics. Now that they are struggling to save themselves from the spiders they had unleashed over the decades, the discomfort is manifesting in frustration, he said.
Rana sought isolation of the self-styled activists, who are actually the real and chronic hate mongers, dividing communities on the basis of caste and religion, to save the diversity of this country. This is the mantra of Prime Minister’s Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, which has to take the centre stage for inclusive growth of the nation, he added.
Rana also urged the cadre to intensify the public outreach programme and ensure that the problems faced to the people are redressed earnestly and effectively.
