Jammu, June 08,
Condemning all Kashmir based political parties along with the Congress party for their plight and endless miseries prominent leaders of the west Pakistan Refugees Action committee on Friday alleged that even the union government too has refused to treat them as Indian citizens as their children were finding it difficult to get in to central services.
The action committee leaders which included its Chairman Jaggu Ram Choudhary, Vice-president Yash Pal Bharti, R.S. Pura Block President Nathu Ram, Bishnah Block President Gandharb Singh, Samba Block President Tarsem Lal and Akhnoor Block President Lal Singh in one voice, held Congress responsible for their miserable plight and for the country’s partition.
Narrating heart-rending details regarding the plight of their families during their meeting with the state BJP leadership at the BJP headquarters the refugee leaders said that they have no right to property, no right to avail bank loans, no right to jobs and no voting rights in the state assembly.
The meeting was attended by state BJP leadership comprising State President Ashok Khajuria, Member National Executive & former State President Dr. Nirmal Singh, former State President Daya Krishan Kotwal and Party Vice-President & Spokesperson Prof. Hari Om.
The BJP leadership, on this occasion said that the party is not making any political capital out of their 60-year old problem because it is a human issue and that the BJP is emotionally committed to their cause. The BJP leaders said that it is height of communalism that the state government led by National Conference in 1952 granted citizenship rights to those Muslim families of the Chinese origin who migrated from Central Asia to Kashmir. The BJP leaders also shared the view of the Action Committee leadership that the ruling coalition and the main opposition NC are against these refugees and these parties on the other hand appears committed to implement the Black Bill No. 9 in order to induce the Muslims to come-back to Jammu who migrated to Pakistan in 1947 and became Pakistani Nationals. The BJP leadership, made it clear that the party will not allow the valley-centric and communal leadership to implement this bill. The BJP leaders declared that the party is prepared to go to any extend to ensure that the refugees from West Pakistan are granted all the rights which are enjoyed by the others.
