JAMMU OCT-29
Intensifying its efforts for garnering support to its Nov 6 Jammu Bandh on the even of reopening of civil secretariat in the winter capital, Refugees United Front (RUF) today convened a meeting of prominent, social, transporters and traders bodies to seek their support for the proposed bandh call.
Detailing the representatives of different parties about the bandh call, Rajiv Chuni President of the Front said that despite passing of six decades since the people from PoK and West Pakistan were uprooted, they still continue to remain unsettled and regretted that successive governments have remained totally mum and unconcerned about the problems of these hapless refugees during all these years.
Chuni said that the whole nation rose to help Kashmiri migrants who had to leave their homes and hearths in early nineties but 1947 refugees are still suffering untold miseries and are living in ‘ghettoes’.
Giving details about the program chalked out by the Front to highlight the issue of the refugees, Chuni said that a rally would be taken out on November 1 from Janipur and after passing through New Plots, Sarwal colony, Rehari, Bakshi Nagar,Shakti Nagar, it would culminate at Talab Tiloo. Similarly another rally would be taken out on November 2 from outside the Raj Bhavan and after passing through Dhounthali, Jain Bazar, Link Rroad, Purani Mandi, Super Bazar, Kanak Mandi, Residency Road, Raghunath Mandir chowk and Hari Market shall culminate at Dogra Chowk.
He said on November 3, a rally would be organized at Bikram chowk and would culminate at Satwari.
Labha Ram General Secretary of the Front said that looking at all these discriminatory steps of the state and the central governments, the refugees had held a massive protest, following which the Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad had assured to convene an all-party meet at Srinagar but even after lapse of six months, no such meeting has taken place. He said refugees have been left with no other option but to launch a week long agitation beginning from November 1 to invite government’s attention towards the problems of the refugees and has appealed all the organizations to make the bandh call a success.
Those who attended the meeting were Rajinder Motial, General Secretary CCI, Ashok Mahajan of J&K Retailers Federation, Inderjeet Khajuria President Hotel and Lodges Association, Ramesh Chander Gupta, President Ware House Traders Association, Abhinav Sharma of Jammu Bar Association, Vinod Jain of Motor Parts Association, Annan Sharma President Shiv Sena (BT), Bipen Hindu, Chairman Shiv Sena (Hindustan), P K Ganju of JKNPP, Udhey Chand President DPP, Surinder Sharma Praja Prashiad, Jagdev Singh State Akali Dal, Lower Hari Market Shopkeepers Association, Poonch , RS Pura-Kathua, and Banihal route Bus Unions besides several other trade organizations.
