'Weak' govt policy has emboldened separatists: Panun Kashmir

An organisation of displaced Kashmiri Pandits today targeted the Jammu and Kashmir government saying it was because of its "weak policy" that separatists had become "emboldened" to hold public rallies where they displayed Pakistani flags and raised anti-India slogans.
"The separatists in Kashmir seem to be emboldened and encouraged to hold public rallies where they display Pakistan flags and raise anti-India slogans. It is due to the weak policy of the government," Panun Kashmir president Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo said during the meeting of Political Affairs Committee of the party here.
This is totally unacceptable to the nationalist forces in Jammu and Kashmir and is completely against the national mood on the subject, he said.

The Political Affairs Committee of Panun Kashmir held its meeting today to take stock of the "deteriorating" political situation in Kashmir.
The separatists have been given a "free run" to regroup and organise rallies all across the Valley and this is eroding the trust that the people of the state had reposed in the new dispensation, the committee's chairman M L Raina claimed.
The outfit also described Pakistan army chief General Raheel Sharif's recent statement on Kashmir as "reflective of the frustration and total lack of understanding of the geo-political dynamics" on the part of the establishment.
In one of his strongest remarks on Kashmir, Raheel Sharif yesterday said it is an "unfinished agenda" of the partition in 1947 and Pakistan and Kashmir are "inseparable".
