| PoK DPs chain protest begins over government atrocity | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 26: SOS International, an organization for PoK displaced persons started their indefinite chain protest on Thursday against the apathy of the government over their issues at its headquarters in Bakshi Nagar, Jammu.
S. O. S. International has already unveiled that every day 5 PoK DPs will sit on chain protest and PoK DPs who have began chain protest was Rajiv Chuni, Parmod Ghai, Bhai Ram Singh, Ved Raj Bali and Sanjiv Suit.
Chairman S. O. S. International Rajiv Chuni said that the indefinite chain protest began to mark aggression of PoK DPs who are being duped by government at every step and there are 6 key demands of PoK DPs that include implementation the whole package passed by the state cabinet in October 2014 for PoK displaced persons. Provide facilities to all displaced at par with valley migrants,
He added it included reservation of 8 seats for people displaced from PoK in J&K Legislative Assembly, permit PoK DPs to visit to their religious places in PoK, inclusion of 5, 300 PoK DPs families living outside the State in the ambit of package passed in October 2014 and return of cash deposits with interest to PoK DPs lying with J&K Bank Mirpur.
Rajiv Chuni said that Government has constrained PoK DPs to sit on indefinite protest in such biting cold to mark resentment and anger as PoK DPs have fallen prey to false promises of various hostile forces and this time, Central and State Governments are traumatizing by mining the package and demands.
"It is not a concealed fact that Valley Migrants are enjoying all benefits and such benefits must be given to PoK DPs and other displaced that have been spending their lives in utmost inhumane conditions. This disparity needs to be ended and to end such a cruel practice there is urgent need of uniform policy under which all displaced must be treated equally", he added.
He added that to raise the voice of PoK DPs, there is utmost need of political reservation to this community so that their problems can be mitigated. We have been demanding the reservation of 1 /3 that is 8 out of 24 seats reserved for PoK areas for PoK DPs in J&K Legislative Assembly. Without political representation, PoK DPs have been suffering a lot therefore, 8 seats must be reserved for them. But unfortunately, none of the parties have ever listened to our concerns and voices. |
