GoI more concerned about PoJK residents than PoJK refugees: Congress

Jammu, Sep 10: Senior Congress leader and former MLC Ravinder Sharma has said that BJP government at the centre is more concerned about the welfare of PoJK residents than the 14 lakh displaced community from PoJK for nothing material was done to resolve their genuine issues

Reacting to the statement of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in which he talked of PoJK residents, stating “one day they would voluntarily join us,” Sharma said that BJP government did nothing to resolve the pending issues of PoJK displaced community settled here and other parts of country during ten years in power.

BJP had made tall promises to them before Lok Sabha and assembly elections in 2014 including reservation of eight assembly seats, implementation of full financial package of Rs 30 lakh to each family besides other components.

Instead of fulfilling the commitments to them and solving their issues, UT administration has further snatched their rights over allotted lands and power to sell etc, which is very unfortunate.
