JAMMU, Jan 11: The Jammu Kashmir Sharnarthi Action Committee (JKSAC) has made a humble appeal to Amit Shah, Union Home Minister to enhance the ex-gratia relief amount from Rs 10 lakhs to 30 lakhs and a Govt job as assured to next of kin of terrorist victims DP families of village Dhangri in Rajouri on his ensuing visit on Jan 13, 2023 to console the bereaved families.
While expressing grief and sympathies with the victim families of the DPs of 1947 from POK. Gurdev Singh, president alongwith Pawan Kumar Sharma, Rajesh Khajuria and Makhan Singh strongly condemned the gruesome selective killings by the terrorists and termed the administration and security agencies responsible for this blatant negligence, who failed to apprehend such attacks/selective killings which took place many times earlier in over three decades period of militancy in UT of J&K. He said that after such unfortunate incidence wherein hundreds of innocent lives have been vanished the security forces become active for sometime but after few days when fire of pyres of such innocent souls gets cold, the security agencies forget and their non-seriousness again allow people to fell prey of terrorists.
He said that the Govt. and the security agencies cannot escape from such negligence on their part which enabled the terrorists to attack such isolated localities particularly the incident like took place in Dhangri, thus eliminating seven precious lives of minority community. There is lot of resentment among the people of that area and are feeling insecure the Govt is appealed to adopt a fool proof mechanism to protect the lives of people since the Home Minister is holding a meeting with Lt. Governor and other heads of the security agencies.
Singh demanded that Village Defence Committees (VDC) which were constituted decades back have become totally defunct and should be re-constituted again and be equipped with latest weapons to combat such incidents. He further suggested that Govt should take immediate steps to recruit guards from DPs community with army background who can play vital role in stopping such killings in future.
