NC, Cong misleading people over refugees' issue: Dr Jitendra 12/12/2014 11:51:31 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Dec 12: Addressing a series of public meetings at Dindeykalan, Baas Pur Bangla and other places in RS Pura and Suchetgarhh assembly constituencies here today, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS in PMO, Dr Jitendra Singh said, BJP is committed to address the problems of all categories of refugees in Jammu & Kashmir and accused National Conference and Congress of misleading people and spreading disinformation about BJP’s stand on the issue. Dr. Jitendra Singh said, all through the last six decades even when BJP was not in power, it has consistently struggled for the rights of refugees. He said, while over 15 lakh refugees from Pak occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK) have still not received the compensation promised to them by successive governments, BJP is categorical in its stand to provide a special package for this category of refugees and reserve four out of 24 Assembly seats in lieu of the part of State under illegal Pak occupation.. Singh alleged, the National Conference-Congress coalition in the State sought to play mischief by sending to the Centre a demand for a package for PoJK refugees just when the Election Code of Conduct was about to be imposed. If the National Conference-Congress government was genuinely sincere to address the problem of PoJK refugees, why did it have to wait for six long years, he asked. The truth is that the National Conference-led government never wanted to benefit these refugees because it did not consider them a part of their vote bank and therefore simply as a mere cosmetic gesture, it sent the request to the Centre at a time when the request could not have been fulfilled, he added. However, he emphasized, soon after the Election Code of Conduct is over, the BJP-led Narendra Modi government at the Centre will follow-up this issue in the right earnest and with full sincerity.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
