Dismayed over the attitude of the state government for sanction of relief and other benefits, he said that they are left with no option but to proceed to New Delhi to gherao the Parliament of India and urge upon the Union Government to come to their rescue.

Baderwah, Kishtwar, Ramban, Reasi. Udhampur were forced to leave their native areas and live under miserable and sub-human conditions in Jammu and elsewhere
‘It is sad that Kashmiri migrants were provided relief and ration items but the migrants from Jammu province were denied the same’, he mentioned, adding, migrants are migrants whether from Jammu or Kashmir, they should be treated in same category.
He further mentioned that Supreme Court of India and High Court J&K, in their interim directions have impressed upon the state government to treat the migrants of Jammu province on the analogy of Kashmiri migrants in respect of sanction of relief and other benefits, but the state government is reluctant to implement the court directions as a result of which they have been living in miserable and despondent lives.
