Here is the text of the petition
To: Honourable President Of India
It is a matter of great shame for the nation which calls itself secular, that a land of about 800 acres can not be given for construction of temporary sheds for the Amarnath pilgrims at Baltal in Kashmir province of Jammu and Kashmir state. The political leaders of valley have been exploiting the issue just to fulfill their political motives and have been playing with the beliefs of millions of Hindu's living in and outside India.
We would like to bring a fact to your notice that The Forest Minister in the Cabinet was from the PDP, a coalition partner in the government. Yet they (the PDP) refused to accept responsibility for the joint decision (of allocating forest land to set up temporary structures for facilities for Hindu pilgrims during the Amarnath Yatra). The PDP (which is led by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed) played electoral politics of the lowest kind by hitching its voice to the Hurriyat objections, and pulled out of the government And above that Mr. Ghulam Nabi Azad (who held the post of Chief Minister) revoked the land order back while his government was in minority.
Moreover, when Islamia Univ was to be constructed at Rajouri and Kashmir, the state govt gave them forest land and that too free of cost. But the Amarnath Trust was told to pay 2.5 crores of rupees for constructing temporary sheds during the months of Yatra.
Respected madam, we would like to put another fact in front of you that the city of Jammu has been burning since last one month. The JKP (Jammu & Kashmir Police) has been continuously beating up peaceful protesters and killed two of them by opening firing on a procession. I request you to take necessary steps so that peace be restored in this state and land be given back to the Amarnath Trust.
We request the leadership of our nation to intervene into the matter and stop appeasing the handful population of Kashmir at the expense of beliefs of the whole nation.
Sincerely,
