JAMMU, Aug 6: National Awami United Party (NAUP) has urged upon PM Modi for justice with PoJK refugees of 1947, 1965 and 1971.
In a press conference here today NAUP president, Sandeep Singh said that these refugees are waiting for their long pending demands of financial package of Rs. 30 lakh out of which only Rs. 5.5 lakh were disbursed to them in the year 2016.
He claimed that PM Modi led Government might be waiting for the announcement of elections in J&K to announce the balance instalments.
“PoJK refugees are annoyed because in every election they are treated only as vote bank and their so called leaders negotiate with political parties to fetch jobs or medical/engineering seats to their children in best colleges on free basis,” Singh maintained appealing to the people of PoJK to get united this time and support NAUP so that justice can be done to them.
NAUP also demanded reservation for the children of PoJK refugees and financial assistance to them on the pattern of what is being provided to Kashmiri migrants.
NAUP general secretary, Manmohan Sudan; Vijay Choudhary, provincial vice president; Uttam Chand and others were also present in the press conference.
