JAMMU, May, 21: More political leaders and social organisations have expressed their total satisfaction over the domicile notification issued by UT Government recently and termed it a historical decision.
Dr.Nirmal Singh former Deputy Chief Minister and senior leader BJP has welcomed the new Domicile notifications and urged the UT administration to consider the PRC issued in the past to be treated as Domicile certificate in view of the problems faced by students to get admissions in different technical and educational institutions.
Dr. Nirmal Singh said that to get the Domicile <certificates of one crore thirty lac population of Jammu and Kashmir is a lengthy and time consuming process. In such circumstances it will be difficult for the different categories of aspirants those who want to apply for the jobs, admissions etc. in the absence of recently notified Domicile certificates. He said it is a historical step towards the welfare of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the West Pakistani refugees, Valmiki Samaj, Gorkha community, left out families of PoJK refugees and Kashmiri Pandit migrants, as these communities were deprived of their fundamental rights.
While expressing its satisfaction over extension of the domicile right to WP and PoK refugees who were allowed to settle in JK State after 1947 but were never treated as state subjects of the J&K, All India Backward Classes Union (AIBCU) many times in the past had advocated the cause of refugees who were allowed to settle in erstwhile J&K State by allotting residential plots and lands for agricultural purposes, but were not entitled for the State Subjects which was a grave injustice with them.
However the AIBCU condemned the partial abrogation of the Article 370 for which the Central Government is boasting off by terming it a historical decision. The AIBCU said BJP must not forget that this partial abrogation of Article 370 would also be considered as historical loot of the Constitutional rights of the 60% population of the UT of J&K who belong to the OBCs and whose destiny could not be changed even after the abrogation of the Article 370 as promised by PM Modi.
All India Migrant Camps Coordination Committee (AIMCCC) chief Desh Rattan Pandita while commenting on the notification on Domicile termed it another bold decision after abrogation of Article 370 by Narendra Modi Government.
He said the decision to grant domicile to those displaced Pandits who are not registered with Relief Organisation but were the indigenous people of J&K, PoJK refugees putting outside J&K and West Pak refugees can be written with golden letters in the history.
Rattan said history will recall Narendra Modi for his one after another pro nationalist decisions. He said with these decisions Modi Government has dealt a strong blow to anti national forces in J&K with total merger of the erstwhile State with Indian Union.
However the Yuva Rajput Sabha J&K president Surinder Singh Gilli, today said the existing people having State Subjects of erstwhile State of J&K should be considered as domicile. He also questioned the Modi Government saying when the whole country and people are battling with Corona virus , what was the fun of brining the new law. He alleged that Central Government has crushed the sentiments of the J&K youth and tampered upon their aspirations.
Sampooran Kashmiri Sangthan (SKS) general secretary, Bharat Kachroo while terming the domicile Law a historical development said that all the deprived sections of the J&K will now get justice with new law. He said the law will end over 70 year old discrimination to which these hapless people were subjected to and end the monopoly of the anti national elements.
