Ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday hailed the Centre’s decision to raise the relief given to Jammu migrants at par with migrant Kashmiri Pandits.
“We hail the Centre’s decision to raise the relief given to Jammu migrants at par with Kashmiri Pandit migrants,” Member of Legislative Council (MLC) and senior PDP leader Vikramaditya Singh said on Thursday.
Vikramaditya, grand son of Maharaja Hari Singh and son of Congress Leader Dr. Karan Singh, said it was important to understand that during militancy, several families living in higher reaches of Jammu hills were also badly affected and had to leave their homes and belongings.
‘Recognition of plight’
“This decision signifies the Government of India’s recognition of the miserable plight of these people,” he added.
Vikramaditya said the Talwara migrant’s issue in district Reasi and other such issues were raised by him on several occasions and forums. - PTI
