Panun Kashmir an organization representing displaced Kashmiri Pandits, today demanded that BJP should walk out of the coalition government with PDP in view of the current developments in Jammu and Kashmir.
It also said that events unfolding in the state under this government would hit the credibility of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"All of us are unable to understand as to why, after being betrayed by PDP all through the entire process of government formation, BJP cannot muster courage to come out of such an inequtable and humiliating arrangement," said Dr Ajay Charngoo, Chairman of Panun Kashmir said.
The sequence of events unleashed by the PDP, right from the beginning of the government formation, and immediately thereafter, has left nobody in doubt about the objectives that the PDP wishes to pursue, he said.
"As its primary objective, the PDP has used the process of government formation and also its aftermath, to undermine the credibility of prime minister as an inspiring symbol of pan-India leadership.
"The second objective evident from the PDP machinations seems to be to set a fertile ground for the next round of Intifada Rebellion in the Valley so that it can bring its pro separatist formulations of shared sovereignty, porous borders and joint control to the point of fruitition," said Charngoo.
The vice chairman of Panun Kashmir, Dr Shakti Bhan noted that another perfidy which has been unleashed on the nation during the making of the government in J&K is that for the "first time soft seperatism has been accorded credibility as a legitimate plant for the government formation in the state."
"The PDP's proclaimed committment to self rule and the AFA are complimentary to each other," she said.
