JAMMU, Dec 7: The activists of Youth All India Kashmiri Samaj (YAIKS) held a protest demonstration here, today and took out a rally from CID Park Canal to Dogra Chowk expressing their anger over delaying the implementation of PM’s job and rehabilitation package for displaced Pandit youth.
Led by R K Bhat, president, YAIKS a large number of unemployed displaced youth joined the rally demanding immediate implementation of PM’s job package and announcement of another 3000 posts by Central Government for the left over displaced youth.
Shouting slogans in support of their demands the protesters said that they were cheated by the successive Governments on the name of PM employment package for over last 10 years now.
Addressing the rally president, YAIKS, R K Bhat termed the PM’s package a cruel joke with the displaced community in general and exiled youth in particular. He reiterated his demand of restructuring, redesigning and reviewing of PM’s Return and Rehabilitation Package after a dialogue with YAIKS.
He said KPs desire to return to Valley is doubted by the authorities at the helm of affairs. He wanted to know that how long the Pandits who are indigenous people of Kashmir will lead an exiled life and remain away from their motherland.
Bhat, while highlighting the demands that one family be given one job as every displaced family has suffered a lot due to turmoil said healing touch scheme should be implemented on exiled Pandits also.
