“The Chain Dharna was launched over main key issues related to PoK DPs in which implementation of PoK DPs package passed by NC-Congress Cabinet in 2014 in toto, implementation of uniform policy for all the migrants/displaced communities including PoK DPs, establishment of corridors for PoK DPs to visit their religious places & shrines located in PoK, restoration of 1/3rd i.e. 8 seats lying vacant for PoK areas in Legislative Assembly, inclusion of 5300 DPs families living outside the J&K State in the ambit of package for PoK DPs and return of cash deposits of PoK DPs lying in the J&K Bank, Mirpur Branch”, stated by Prof. N. N. Sharma.
While speaking in Chain Dharna, Prof. N. N. Sharma said that if you look at the history of world, none of the communities has witnessed such horrible and terrible Human Rights violations and have waited for such a long time for their rehabilitation. “It has been more than 7 decades; PoK DPs have been waiting for justice and resolution of their demands but unfortunately they have not been provided with absolute justice but on the contrary, they are being duped by one or other hostile forces. PoK DPs are the most unfortunate community in the whole world that does not have their respective Parliamentary and Assembly segments. They have never elected their own representatives resulted in absolute injustice to the most destitute community who have been living under inhumane conditions. Our voice has never been raised in the parliament and State Assembly due to non representation of our own people. Other parties pay no heed to our demands, they have never raised the issues of PoK DPs but on the contrary, they exploited innocent DPs for their vested interests”, he added.
