| J&K pays stipend to 432 surrendered militants | | Question Hour | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 7 : 432 surrendered militants are getting monthly stipend of Rs. 2000 and have also taken Rs. 1.50 Lakh in the form of FDR.
This was today stated by Minister for Haj and Auqaf Abdul Rehman Veeri while replying to a question of National Conference (NC) MLC Ali Mohammed Dar in the legislative council today. He was replying on behalf of Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed who holds the portfolio of the Home Minister. Veeri said that this amount is being paid to the surrendered militants since January 2004 without any break.
Veeri admitted that the number of surrendered militants getting this amount is negligible but said that the state government cannot do anything about this since those who surrender fear being killed or victimised by their ex-colleagues, thus preferring not to stake claim. He further said that the state government had notified the rehabilitation policy vide Government Order no.Home-55/H of 2004 dated 31-01-2004 for surrendered militants who are willing to join mainstream.
The policy further maintains that only those militants would come under the purview of this policy who would eschew violence and show signs of change of heart. Under his policy, surrendered militants are given immediate grant of Rs. 1.50 lakh in the form of FDR and Rs. 2000 as monthly stipend for three years after surrender. He confirmed that the policy is under implementation and government is contemplating to further strengthen this policy in the days to come.
