Fuming YAIKS denounces PM's financial package for Kashmiri Pandits
hold a protest rally


Srinagar, November 22, (Scoop News)-Criticizing Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s package, employees under the aegis of Youth All India Kashmir Samaj (YAIKS) and led by its president R. K. Bhat staged a protest march near Lal Chowk on Sunday.


A press statement circulated to media in capital city said to save the future of Gen Next Kashmiri Pandit’s titled “AAKHIR KAB TAK” was attended in full strength by the employees working under PM Package and thereafter a resolution was passed stating specifically that “PM’s Return and Rehabilitation Package for Kashmiri Migrants - A mere eyewash.”

The protesters were detained by the police and lodged in Kothibagh, a nearby police station.

A resolution was also passed on the occasion which stated the lackadaisical approach of the state government in proper implementation of the PM’s Return and Rehabilitation Package of Kashmiri Pandits has completely put this scheme off-track due to which the KP employees recruited under the said Package in Kashmir Valley are facing a lot of unavoidable hardships and circumstances.

It said PM’s Return and Rehabilitation Package for Kashmiri Migrants was announced long back in 2008 as a step towards rehabilitation of unemployed KP youth in Kashmir Valley. However due to pathetic handling by successive Government’s has resulted in complete failure of the scheme since the government could not fulfill its commitments. Under this package the government had claimed to rehabilitate a total number of 75000 migrant families back to Valley.

However the harsh reality, duly supported by the appointments done so far by the government, is that so far during the last 8 years the government could not even rehabilitate 2000 KP Youths who had volunteered to serve in Kashmir Valley, the statement said adding not even 5% of the whole package has been implemented so far, for which Rs. 1618 crores and then Rs. 5000 and 2000 crores package were sanctioned on different occasions by the Government of India.

"The non-implementation of the package has again exposed the evil designs of the political parties involved and their apathy towards the Nationalist forces of microscopic community of Kashmiri Pandits", it added.

The incompetence of the successive governments is highlighted by the fact that from year 2008, out of the sanctioned 6000 jobs nearly 2000 youth had been recruited till date and the remaining 4000 posts are still left unfilled. Furthermore out of these 2000 employees only 800 employees were provided with accommodation, that too on sharing basis. Is survival possible under these circumstances, the statement asked?
.
YAIKS served an ultimatum upon the Govt.’s that if the immediate and genuine needs are not addressed within 30 days we will be forced to start direct action programme and to call all employees back to Jammu working under PM’s package in different parts of the Valley.
