In a meeting of the members held at Miran Sahib in R S Pura, the speakers took stock of the current development in view of ensuing parliamentary elections. All the members were highly critical of the political parties who have used the large vote bank of refugees all these years but none has shown any seriousness to mitigate the sufferings of the refugees for the last six decades.
They pointed out that refugees’ problem in the State and its resolutions remained part of election manifesto of all the political parties but the parties totally forgot it, once election were over and Government formed.

Even many contesting candidates claim themselves as refugees just to grab vote bank.
