Border migrants embarrass Congressmen Accuse them of playing politics over their plight 11/3/2016 11:08:50 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Nov 3: Senior Congressmen, including Ghulam Nabi Azad, had to face embarrassment at the hands of border migrants at Rangoor camp in Samba district on Thursday. Even as the Congressmen had gone there to express their sympathies and convey that their party was very much concerned over their plight, some border dwellers accused the Congress as well as National Conference of playing politics over their woes. You people were at the helm of affairs and had been ruling the State as well as the centre for the last so many years, why didn't you take measures for our safety and compensation?" they asked the Congressmen. Annoyance of border migrants created a scene even as some elders pacified the angry youth, who were vociferous in registering their protest against alleged politics over their plight. The episode took place this afternoon when Gulam Nabi Azad, accompanied by former Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand, former Ministers, Raman Bhalla and others, visited the border migrants, who are putting up at Rangoor camp in the wake of heavy shelling by Pakistan on their residences along border. According to the eyewitnesses, some of the border migrants got agitated when the Congress team sought to express their sympathies with them and assured to take up their issues and demands, like allotment of five marla plot to each family at safer places. Before the Congress team could complete its list of assurances, some migrant youth started asking the reason of delay for the same during the Congress regime. They particularly named the congress ministers and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah as well as Ghulam Nabi Azad, with whom the demand was repeatedly taken up but nothing was delivered at the ground level. Sensing trouble, sources said that Ghulam Nabi Azad intervened and said that he would take their issues in the forthcoming session of Parliament while some elders pacified the agitated youth.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
