Organised by Jammu Kashmir People's Forum (JKPF) and National Democratic Teachers Front (NDTF), the seminar on Jammu and Kashmir highlighted the need for disseminating "correct facts" relating to the entire issue of J&K and to change the perception that has been created through a "misinformation campaign" over the years.
RSS Akhil Bhartiya Sah-Sampark Pramukh Arun Kumar pointed out that three "myths" are propagated by vested interests about J&K on separatism, dispute and autonomy.
"The so-called separatist groups are a miniscule minority of the state of J&K. But the perception that has been created is that the entire state is of separatist tendency. It is not the truth. The reality is that the majority of residents of the state of J&K are nationalists," Arun said.
He said the entire issue of J&K can be solved if we confine ourselves to legal documents only and the entire discourse has been deliberately complicated by unnecessarily going into who said what.
The resolution had also demanded that Pakistan must vacate the areas of Jammu and Kashmir, which they have occupied through aggression.
