JAMMU, Apr 3: Further intensifying his election campaign, prominent leader of PoK Displaced Persons, Rajiv Chuni, who is contesting as independent candidate in the Lok Sabha polls from Jammu-Poonch Parliamentary seat, launched a scathing attack on both BJP and Congress, which, he said, are number one enemy of the PoK Displaced community.
Addressing a number of public meetings during his tour to Chowki Handan, Kalsian, Jhangad, Laam, Dassal-Karaian and other areas in border belt of Rajouri district, Rajiv Chuni alleged while the successive Governments never took any serious initiative to rehabilitate the displaced community, BJP and Congress treated PoK DPs mere vote bank during the elections and provided only lip service in return.
Highlighting the supreme sacrifices of PoK DPs in defence of border since 1947, Rajiv Chuni said, “Even the promise to settle these border inhabitants at safer places by giving them five marla plots was also not fulfilled with the result that our community is still facing frequent migration to schools at the time of border shelling”.
Holding both Congress and BJP responsible for the woes of PoK DPs, Chuni said that Congress delayed the package till fag end of its Government in the State while BJP reduced the same from more than nine thousand crores to mere two thousand crores. Though no political party took initiative for the PoK DPs, but BJP and Congress are number one enemy of the community,” he added.
Chuni further alleged that these two parties are biggest exploiters of Jammu also, which never remained on their agenda despite the fact that both the parties had been getting vote and support from this region. He exhorted the PoK DPs to teach both BJP and Congress a lesson by rejecting their candidates.
