JAMMU, Jan 12: SOS International – an organization for PoK Displaced Persons (DPs) fighting for the legitimate rights of displaced persons has entered into 17th day of indefinite chain dharna under the chairmanship of Rajiv Chuni.
Today, the dharna was led by Rajesh Suri, who was accompanied by Tirath Singh, Pritpal Singh, Harnam Singh, Sansar Chand and Gurbachan Singh.
While speaking on the occasion, Suri said, “We people chose the law makers and sent them to Assembly and Parliament to frame rules/laws for the welfare of common people but to our dismay these law makers have closed their eyes and ears for us and now we are struggling on the roads for demands under constitutional rights but they have not walked even an inch to address our grievances”.
Suri warned the Government to mend its ways and sit across the table for negotiations with team SOS International for full and final settlement of their legitimate demands.
The indefinite chain dharna is being held over the main 6 key demands viz. implementation of the whole package passed by State Cabinet in October 2014 for PoK Displaced Persons, provide facilities to all displaced at par with Valley Migrants, reservation of 8 seats for people displaced from PoK in J&K Legislative Assembly, permit PoK DPs to visit to their religious places in PoK, inclusion of 5, 300 PoK DPs families living outside the State in the ambit of package passed in October 2014 and return of cash deposits with interest to PoK DPs lying with J&K Bank Mirpur.
