JAMMU, Dec 14: State unit of BJP today strongly refuted the allegation of NC leader and former Minister Ajay Sadhotra that distribution of financial assistance among displaced persons of PoJK is biggest betrayal by the Government with the refugees. Countering what the senior NC leader has stated, the BJP said that before going public on such a vital issue, the opposition parties must introspect their own role and efforts, if any, over the same, while they were in power for decades.
BJP State spokesperson, Balbir Ram Rattan, while rubbishing the statement of NC leader as nothing but outburst of deep frustration and envy over the historic decision of Narendra Modi Government at the Centre for providing Rs 2000 crore package for DPs and the commencement of distributing of the financial assistance to the Displaced Persons of Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir, said that it was infact, NC and Congress, which remained in power for maximum time after independence but did not bother to consider the grievances of DPs on humanitarian grounds, leave alone having given sympathetic thought to it.
Strongly contesting the accusations, Balbir questioned NC leader and asked what his own party did during all these years after independence except befooling the hapless displaced persons and refugees from West Pakistan; how much financial assistance was provided to DPs and which of the long pending demands of West Pakistan Refugees were acceded by NC while in power in the State ?
