Displaced Kashmiri Pandits Demonstrated In Jammu

Displaced Kashmiri Pandits demonstrated in Jammu. They demand increasing the relief amount and one government job in every house.

For more than 400 days, Kashmiri Pandits, who have been sitting on a dharna in Jagti Displaced Colony of Nagrota.

Today they demonstrated in the city’s exhibition ground, demanding an increase in the monthly relief amount and a government job for one member of every displaced Kashmiri Pandit family.

These displaced Kashmiri Pandits gathered under the banner of the Jagati Tenement Committee and Soun Kashmir Front J&K.

Displaced Kashmiri Pandits demonstrated in Jammu: They raised slogans in support of their demands.

They appealed to the Central Government to announce the fulfillment of their legitimate demands in the upcoming Lok Sabha session.

Shadi Lal Pandita, president of Jagati Tenement Committee, while addressing on the occasion said that he has been sitting on dharna and gradual hunger strike in Jagti for more than a year.

Our only demand is that the government should increase our monthly relief amount from Rs 13,000 to Rs 25,000 and give government jobs to one member of each displaced family.

Pandita said that only 13 thousand rupees are given to the family of four members for a month. Today, in this era of inflation, it has become very difficult to feed the family for 13 thousand rupees.

So we demand that it should be made at least 25 thousand so that the displaced Kashmiri Pandits can feed their children.

Seeking a government job, Shadi Lal Pandita said that the displaced Kashmiri Pandits have been given employment under the Prime Minister’s package.

More than one member of many families have also got government jobs under this package, but there are many families whose members did not get a job under this package.

In such a situation, their demand is that at least one member of every displaced family should be given a government job.
