Addressing a function in Srinagar organized to welcome prominent entrepreneur and political activist Sheeban Ashai in AIP, the spokesman said.

Er Rasheed said that we are not against those who come to the state as tourists, working class and other professionals but the huge entry of baggers and suspicious migrants is unacceptable.

He said “It is strange while army, police and other agencies are frequently busy is  collecting data of various sorts by infiltrating privacy of the permanent citizens of state, no agency from the Government is keeping an eye on the flooded entry of thousands of outsiders, who don’t work in any private or state sector as skilled or unskilled laborers.”

“Not only there is every apprehension of miscreants and anti-social elements residing in these tented locations but one has a reason to believe that some elements within the government have been facilitating these seasonal illegal migrants. It is ironic that their number is growing every day and from mosques to bus depots and from villages to towns these people have made the life of locals miserable,” Rasheed said.

Er Rasheed asked the government if Kashmiris are like strangers, given step-motherly treatment in their own native land and asked to prove their identity day in and day out how come are these uninvited guests allowed to occupy the prime state lands and get away with what they want.”

Er Rasheed, while appealing people from all sections of the society to take notice of the issue, warned state government of dire consequences, if it doesn’t throw all those families out of the valley whose whereabouts are not known and have no business to be here.

Er Rasheed said that Sheeban Ashai’s entry to the party is a welcome move and appealed youth to come forward to strengthen AIP’s efforts for a resolution to Kashmir dispute in accordance with the sentiments and wishes of Kashmiri people. Besides others party, senior leaders Zeeshan Pandith, Prince Parvez and Dr Bari Nayak were present on the occasion.
