JAMMU: Welcoming the move initiated by the US lawmaker Congressman, Ted Poe, Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism by introducing a Bill in the US Congress for declaration of Pakistan as a ‘state sponsor of terrorism’, Panun Kashmir termed it as a paradigm shift in the thinking process at a global level regarding the situation in Pakistan which is responsible for harbouring, abetting and sponsoring terrorism in its neighbourhood and particularly in India.
Briefing media persons here on Wednesday, President Panun Kashmir, Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo flanked by Virender Raina, National Spokesperson PK, said that the call for a ‘stop to paying Pakistan by the United States for its betrayal and designate it for what it is: a sponsor of terrorism’ is a big success story of the Indian diplomacy aimed at to strengthen the global war against terror.
“Pakistan’s role as a global key player in nourishing terrorism particularly against India for the last three decades has rightly come under the diplomatic and global political scanner,” he said.
In this changed global political scenario, Panun Kashmir appealed to the Central Government to think drastically in terms of declaring the state of Pakistan as a state sponsoring terror.
“We expect the government to take a lead at this critical but congenial global atmosphere in favour of India and raise its concerns in this context in perfect perspective before the world at large,” he stated.
Virender Raina, National Spokesperson, PK expressed serious concern over the issue of illegal immigration of Bangladeshis and Rohangyas in Jammu region. He said that the State Government was asked by the Ministry of
Home Affairs, Government of India to prepare a report on the subject.
“The government is supposed to put this issue on a fast track than to delay it due to political expediency. The nationalist forces in the State have been raising the issue at all available forums. Besides being a threat to the demography of Jammu, it creates serious security concerns. It is also undoubtedly a threat to the civilizational flow of Jammu,” he stated.
Raina urged the government to urgently complete the process of having an in-depth study of the situation and come out with the report on this issue to the satisfaction of the aspirations of the nationalist forces of the State.
