JAMMU, June 1: Movement for Justice for Refugees of PoJK-1947 (MJR-47) today flayed the Cabinet Coordination Committee (CCC) for ignoring the issue of PoJK 1947 refugees in its meeting held recently.
In a meeting of its executive members at Miran Sahib to review latest status of providing relief to PoJK-1947 displaced families, MJR-47 took strong note of decisions taken by CCC meeting held under chairmanship of Deputy Chief Minister in which apart from others a decision was taken to constitute a welfare board for West Pakistan Refugees as it appeared in the media.
It is really shocking that while the committee deliberated on almost all other category of DP’s/Refugees and even valley migrants but ignored and kept silent on issue of PoJK 1947 refugees who are the first and prime victims of Kashmir problem and having suffered far more than any other DP/migrants are being ignored and kept away from getting justice for last 68 years.
“It is shameful that the BJP-PDP dispensation has put the file of PoJK-1947 Refugees in some closet and has not moved an inch since the previous Govt had recommended a relief package for Rs 9096 crore to Government of India”, the meeting said, adding the State Government has failed to even reply on the queries made by the Union Home Ministry on the package lying pending for the last 6 months.
The Movement appealed the State Government to announce the high level committee of Ministers, and constitute a separate body/board for PoJK-1947 refugees which should look to all problems of this class who are suffering for the last more than six decades.
