JAMMU, Sept 29: Senior JKPCC leader, Ravinder Sharma has said that establishment of Refugees Welfare Board as promised by Congress will go a long way in resolving pending issues of refugees and appealed them to vote for Congress.
Interacting with refugees of 1947, 1965 and 1971 in a series of meetings in Jammu and Kathua districts, Sharma said that Congress has accepted the long pending demand for the establishment of a separate Refugees Welfare Board besides a financial package recommended for refugees.
“BJP Government betrayed PoJK refugees by sanctioning only meagre package of Rs. 5.5 lakh against 30 lakh,” he maintained adding: “Recommendations for reservation for the wards of refugees has also been ignored by BJP and against the promised eight Assembly seats, only one was given to the refugees.”
