* Frame regularisation policy for daily wagers
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Mar 4: Congress today demanded that full package as recommended by the J&K Government for the refugees/DPs of 1947,1965,1971 be sanctioned without further delay, as only peanut amount has been sanctioned to the DPs so far.
In a joint statement, senior JKPCC leaders Raman Bhalla working president, Mula Ram vice president, Ravinder Sharma chief spokesperson, general secretaries Balwan Singh, Yogesh Sawhney, Manmohan Singh, senior leaders Shiv Dev Singh, Ashok Sharma A, TS Bajwa, Rajnish Sharma, Balbir Singh, Ved Mahajan, Hari Singh Chib, questioned why full package including financial assistance of Rs 30 lakhs per family and other components of the package have not been sanctioned by the Modi Government.
The meagre amount of Rs 5.50 lakh too has not been received by thousands of eligible families especially DP families of 1947, who are required to produce old records of migration after 70 years which are not easily available with all despite best efforts besides other family issues. Instead of finding ways and means to cover all genuine families, JK Govt abruptly issued an order closing the claim process.
It was only after the Congress Party and other refugees organisations raised hue and cry, that the arbitrary order was withdrawn and process kept open but why not the entire package sanctioned as recommended by Congress Govt, not sanctioned for them so far, after more than seven years of BJP in power.
They said DPs of 1947 we’re conferred rights of section 3-A of Agrarian Reforms Act entitling them power to sell/transfer while similar rights to the DPs of 1965 and 1971 be also conferred to meet their genuine demands.
The Congress leaders demanded that full package as well as all pending issues including reservations, of the displaced people should be considered, resolved and settled and their entire records be updated, reconstructed and maintained properly, without further delay.
The PCC leaders also rued the Government for the harassment to the various categories of daily, need based and casual workers and other temporary, contractual and consolidated employees and demanded framing of fair regularisation policy for each category of such workers and employees.
