Jugal Kishore Sharma appealed the public to spread the message of this yatra, which is to highlight the plight of the refugees due to the biased and lop-sided policies of the Government, to all the sections of the society so that a strong public opinion is aroused on the issue.
The border people are fed-up because of the weak kneed policies and response of the Central Government to Pakistan over ceasefire violations, he added.
Chander Prakash Ganga said that had the BJP led NDA been given another term, the decades old demands of all the refuges would have been permanently settled and they too would have been enjoying the fruits of democracy as equal citizens of the country.
Vibodh Gupta said that the brave people of Rajouri living on borders, including the refugees, have always displayed valour and courage in the face of the continuous mischief by Pakistan. They have always extended full cooperation to the security forces to negate the nefarious designs of Pakistan, he added.
