RAJOURI, Nov 6: SOS International chairman Rajiv Chuni today asked the BJP-led Centre Government to fulfill all genuine demands of the Pakistan occupied Jammu Kashmir (PoJK) Displaced Persons (DPs) before the Lok Sabha elections or else ready to face wrath of lakhs of PoJK DP voters.
“Every political party has betrayed and disappointed the displaced people of PoJK. They used them as vote bank in elections only. It is high time for all of us to take decisive call and fight unitedly to get our legitimate demands fulfilled,” Chuni said while interacting with a massive gathering of the displaced people of PoJK at Nowshera city.
The SOS International chairman said the PoJK DPs have never given due importance because they (Displaced People) were not united. “Our struggle for fulfillment of all our legitimate rights can yield desired results only if we remain united and take decisions collectively,” Chuni said while making a fervent appeal for a decisive fight ahead of Lok Sabha elections scheduled to be held in April-May next year.
“It is an appropriate time to send a strong message across the political platforms that our struggle is genuine and legitimate. We will have to take a collective decision of boycotting the elections or voting in favour of a particular party to ensure that our voice is heard at the highest level,” the senior refugee leader said.
He said, “If the Centre is ready to concede our five major demands including Rs 25 lakh to all PoJK displaced families, issue a notification for reservation in professional technical institutes of the country for our youth, announce a job package for educated unemployed youth, announce reservation of eight seats in J&K legislative Assembly for PoJK refugees and grant Pahari status to all PoJK displaced people, we will overwhelmingly vote in BJP’s favour otherwise, we will not allow anyone to cheat our innocent people this time”.
