Hurriyat: Will oppose creation of 'Israel-type settlements' in Kashmir
May 28, 2015 21:17
Hardline Hurriyat Conference, led by Syed Ali Shah Geelani, today claimed that Jammu and Kashmir government had earmarked land for rehabilitating migrant Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley and said it would oppose any such attempt to create "Israel-type settlements".
Hurriyat has always welcomed the return of Kashmiri Pandits and not a single Kashmiri Muslim was against their rehabilitation, a Hurriyat spokesman said.
"But the Indian policy makers want to implement Israel-type plan which has been tried in Palestine. We will not allow it to happen," he said.
He said "Our reliable sources in the Revenue Department informed that the Chief Minister has completed the basic formalities for providing land" and that his recent tour of south Kashmir was part of that plan.
"This is a plan to divide the people of Jammu and Kashmir on religious lines and to create Palestine-like situation in Kashmir on the pretext of rehabilitation of migrant Pandits. The people of Kashmir, including the Hindus, will resist this ploy with full might and will not allow it to succeed," he said.
