State
Government unconcerned with KPs: Darakhshan
Central
Rehabilitation Programme for the community kept on hold: SDP President
Socialistic Democratic Party President Dr Darakhshan Andrabi today
addressed a Press Conference at Party Central Office in Jammu in support of the
demands of the displaced Kashmiri Pundits. “Even after more than two decades,
the intellectual and educated community of Kashmir is living a life of distress
and dejection away from home in exile. The state government is completely
hostile to the problems of KPs and their resolution,” said SDP President.
Referring to the killing price-hike, Dr Darakhshan said that the relief given
to the displaced community was not at all sufficient and should be increased to
ten thousand per family immediately. She said that the state government was
sleeping at the Central government special job package for the displaced youth
under KPs rehabilitation policy ads it was not in their interests. “The very
long delay in filling up of the remaining posts allotted and funded specially
by the central government for Kashmiri Pundit youth was creating suspicion
about the designs of the state government,” said Dr Andrabi. She demanded that
these vacant places allotted by the central government be filled without any
delay before the process gets blocked by Election Restrictions. Dr Darakhshan
said that the displaced community is facing problems in disbursement of ration
in time which troubles the troubled community. “It is the responsibility of the
government to ascertain the disbursement of ration well in time to the migrants
so that they at least feed their families without problems,” said SDP
President. Dr Darakhshan also pleaded for the demand of the community to amend
the family bifurcation policy for relief purposes. She said that in absence of
a long time convincing government policy, the community was completely dejected
and had lost faith in the government. “The migration of Kashmiri pundits is a
blot on the secular traditions of Kashmir, and we all should think on it very
seriously. By occasional announcements about KPs being inseparable part of
Kashmir we cannot be justified in delivering our duties. We have to show it
practically,” said Dr Darakhshan Andrabi.
