JAMMU, Dec 12: The Jammu Kashmir Sharnarthi Action Committee (JKSAC) has appealed to the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and Home Minister, Amit Shah to consider de-freezing of DP’s share of eight Assembly seats in the ensuing Parliament session to allow them to represent the aspirations of their people and also to end subjugation of Jammu region which has always been realised and being talked since decades.
Terming it as most appropriate time the participants also appealed to Union MoS in PMO, Dr Jatinder Singh, Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and Jugal Kishore Sharma, MP and other senior high profile leaders of BJP to impress upon the Central Govt to present a bill in this regard to de-freeze DPs share of seats proportionate to their population.
While addressing the DPs present in the meeting at Lower Gadigarh in Jammu, Gurdev Singh president alongwith Capt Puran Singh, Bhagwan Singh, Joginder Lal and Dwarka Nath Khajuria said that as appeared in print media the Central Govt is likely to present a bill in Parliament to provide nomination to Kashmiri migrants as per the recommendations of Delimitation Commission. He apprised the members that it is also expected that Central Govt may also consider nomination of two seats for DPs of 1947 from PoK as per the suggestions made by the Delimitation Commission. He said that we are grateful to Modi and his Govt for considering the DPs nomination, but at the same time DPs would like to remind the Central Govt that after the abrogation of article 370 & 35-A J&K is fully integrated with India and now it is constitutional obligations of the Govt to de-freeze the DP’s share of assembly seats proportionate to their population.
He said that it is the only appropriate time for the Govt to present a bill in the Parliament to deliver long awaited justice to DPs who are claiming since decades for their legitimate rights to represent their people’s aspirations. He further apprised the participants that JKSAC has been struggling for these legitimate constitutional rights since 1967, but unfortunately having no political support the DPs voice was always crushed by the past Governments.
