Srinagar, June 24: Lashing out at the J&K Government for “recommending yet another package for Kashmiri Pundits living outside Kashmir”, MLA Langate ER. Rasheed Sunday warned that “such biased steps will create social imbalance and divide the society on different lines.”
 Speaking at a Panchayat Conference at Yousmarg Budgam, Er Rasheed said that “such packages are not only useless to resolve the Kashmir issue but are sure to create unrest and distrust in the majority community.”
 “It is the majority community who really need economic and job-oriented packages as they are the worst victims of violence for the past 25 years,” Rasheed said.
 Rasheed stressed upon Kashmiri Pandits to return to their homes without pre-conditions and packages and said that the community will have to “learn to live with the majority community which has never been communal.”
  He said that though world knows Kashmiri Muslims for their secular traditions, “it doesn’tmean that they should keep mum when Government is putting all its efforts to provide packages and facilities to a particular community in the name of rehabilitation.”
 Rasheed accused the state government of recommending such packages “on the direction of New Delhi.”
