JAMMU, Dec 30: Youth All India Kashmiri Samaj (YAIKS) held a protest ‘Aakhir Kab Tak’, here today.
Carrying utensils, large number of YAIKS members assembled near Press Club and raised slogans in favour of their demands.
While speaking, YAIKS chief Ram K Bhat asked the Government to issue white paper about what measures they have taken during the past 26 years for the welfare and rehabilitation of KP community.
He added that no return formula of the KPs will be accepted unless Government will not take their demands into consideration. He projected the demands, which include smart cities for the return and rehabilitation of KPs, declare KPs internally displaced persons, one time compensation of Rs 25 lakh in favour of over-aged youth, implementation of left over posts out of total 15000 jobs sanctioned by the then Prime Minister in 2008 and declare PM package and non-PM Package employees at par with other Kashmiri migrant employees till final decision of return and rehabilitation is not taken.
YAIKS will keep doing protests, seminars and workshops and will also invite all political setups of the nation for open discussion and debates. We will expose the Government’s intention in the name of so-called rehabilitation package, which is a total failure and mere eye wash. We are homeless, nameless and refugees in our own country”, Bhat stated.
Among others present were BK Bhat, Vice President, Manoj Handoo, General Secretary, Sanjay Ganjoo and Ajay Safaya, Secretaries, DN Bhat, Pushkar Nath Pandita, Shuban Krishan Koul, Mohan Lal Pandita and Bhushan Lal, Advisors.
