JAMMU: POJK Refugee Front on Sunday staged protest against the Ex. PRO Jammu and Additional Commissioner Jammu for not initiating the process of implementation of Financial Package sanctioned by the Government of India on 9th August 2000 after due recommendations of the National Human Rights Commissioner of India.
Led by Rachhpal Singh Chib, President of the Front, the refugees assembled in front of Divisional Commissioner Jammu office and raised slogans in support of their demands.
The front appealed to the State Government to constitute enquiry committee to pin point the officer responsible for committing crime against the POJK refugees.
The officers (PRO) have misused the official position by befooling the State Government, Union Government and POJK refugees, Chib added.

State BJP President Jugal Kishore, State BJP Parbhari Avinash Rai Khanna, Ram Madhav, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to approach the Prime Minister Narendra Modi in favour of final financial package of Rs. 30 lakh for each refugee families of POJK 1947, 1965 and 1971 (Camp, Non-Camp, Urban as well as Rural).
However, the Department Related Parliamentary Standing Committee and Joint Parliamentary Committee have recommended all three segments of the Final Comprehensive Settlement Package e.g. Financial, Political and Social.
Chib urged the State BJP leaders to take up the appeal of the DPs to the Prime Minister for granting political and social parts of the package.
