Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 1: Jammu Kashmir Sharnarthi Action Committee in its core group meeting held at Jammu, lauded the efforts of coalition Govt. particularly Mehbooba Mufti Chief Minister for getting released Rs. 2000 crore package for DP's of 1947 from POK and other categories which was awaited since 07-11-2015.
The members in the meeting urged upon Mehbooba Mufti to prepare a roadmap to resolve the issue taking into account the recommendation of JPC, as assured in the meeting held with her on 19-11-2016.
While addressing the meeting Gurdev Singh President along with Netar Parkash thanked Narendra Modi PM for releasing the package. Gurdev Singh further reiterated that it is not enough but just a peanut as compared to their loss of lives / properties and sufferings they have gone through from the last 70 years.
This package has acknowledged the legitimacy of their long awaited demand and now it is a mandatory on the part of govt. to prepare a comprehensive roadmap to resolve the issue in one go and project the same in the right perspective instead of piece meals taking into consideration all the problems pertaining to central govt.
He said that DP's are still confused that despite of several representations and meetings with State and Central govt. high ups, the shape and nature of the package has not been clarified yet. The most important component of the package of reservation for the wards of DP's recommended by Omar Abdullah govt. as well as by JPC is missing.
He regretted that we are failed to understand that how the govt. has identified only 26,319 families to be benefited under this package when no such exercise till date has ever been made by either of the govt.
It is pertinent to mention here that despite of repeated requests made from the last 7 decades no registration of DP's have been made by either of govt.
The figure of 26,319 DP families of POK have been taken from the previous package submitted by Omar Abdullah govt. to central govt. on 20-10-2014 and was returned by MHA on 7-11-2014 raising the query to justify that how the bonafide 5,300 families out of 31,619 families of DP's who have also availed the benefit of ex-gratia grant provided by GOI in 1962 and other benefits have been left out of the package.
He criticised the state govt. for suggesting the Prime Minister to announce only Rs. 2000 crores package without any logic thus overlooking the recommendations of Omar Abdullah govt. as well as JPC for Rs. 30 lacs to each family.
He enjoined upon the govt. to clarify whether Rs. 2000 crore package is a part of Rs. 9096 crore package recommended by previous dispensation or its is a part of Rs. 30 lacs each family package by JPC.
He also urged upon the coalition govt. to take up the issue seriously and prepare a comprehensive road map taking into account all the components. Further lapses on the part of govt. would create problem for the govt.
The important members who participated are Maste Yograj, Mukesh Sharma, Harbans Singh, Rajesh Khajuria, Dwarka Nath, Balbir Singh, Madan Sharma & Makhan Singh.
