JAMMU, Oct 29: BJP’s “Refugee Adhikaar Yatra”, entered sixth day today. The yatra was given rousing receptions during public rallies in Satwari, Chatha, Bhour Camp and Miran Sahib areas housing the dense population of refugees from PoK.

Avinash Rai Khanna, while addressing a gathering of refugees at Bhour Camp, said that perhaps Jammu and Kashmir is the only place where people are living as refugees in their own country. These people have been agitating for decades for basic rights but the successive governments in J&K and Cong-led Government at the Centre did not show any concern towards their plight. He said that the Congress and NC has always misled these refugees and given false assurances but in practical did nothing. Reiterating BJP’s resolve to stand with refugees and agitate for their cause, Khanna said that the party will continue to raise their voice.
Jugal Kishore Sharma said while our elected representatives have been fighting for refugees, the party leaders and activists have been continuously agitating in favour of them on roads. He said that the refugees were lured on promise of all the rights and benefits if they settle in J&K but till date no thing has been done for them.
