KP Community Condemns ‘Ignorant’ Rouble Nagi for Overstepping Her Mandate

Associated News Bureau

Jammu,  Rouble Nagi, recently appointed member of the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) has made an irresponsible and unwarranted statement on return of the Displaced Community of the Kashmiri Pandits, said senior BJP leader and spokesperson Girdhari Lal Raina. 

Raina said her ignorance is not limited to her knowledge about Jammu Kashmir but also about the commission she represents, GL Raina said. 

“She clearly lacks knowledge and understanding about damage her statement has caused to the institution of NCM and also people who reposed trust in her by appointing her as a member of the Constitutional body”, he added.

The BJP spokesperson and former MLC was surprised and added that It was strange that she does not know the communities that have been declared as minorities in India and lacks understanding about the communities who strive for inclusion in this list particularly those who are reverse minorities as defined by UNHCR.  Does she not know that minorities at state level particularly in Jammu Kashmir are yet to be recognised as declared minorities and are not entitled to benefits of 15 point programme for national level minorities, Raina asked?

The former MLC stressed that MS Nagi needs to know about death and destruction faced by the community including the devastation of the symbols of this millennia old civilization. “Continued encroachment of their immovable property and temples, shrines and cremation grounds should have been her focus.

Rouble Nagi has hurt sentiments of the displaced community; the community condemns her utterance in unison,” Raina said. (ANB)
