Muzaffarabad: The Working Committee of Kashmiri Migrants 1989 held a significant meeting with former Prime Minister Raja Muhammad Farooq Hyder Khan. The delegation appealed in the Assembly session for rehabilitation, assembly seats, domiciles, and property rights.
Former Prime Minister acknowledged the crucial role of the Kashmiri Migrants 1989 movement and emphasized the urgent need for implementation on rehabilitation projects while considering their important role in the freedom movement of Kashmir.
According to details, an important delegation of the “Working Committee of Kashmiri Migrants 1989” met with the former Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Raja Muhammad Farooq Hyder Khan. The delegation included prominent figures such as Uzair Ahmad Ghazali, Ghulam Hassan Butt, Raja Muhammad Arif Khan, Syed Hamid Jameel, Iqbal Yaseen Awan, Muhammad Atif Loon, Manzoor Iqbal Butt, Muhammad Iqbal Mir, Usman Ali Hashmi, Khawaja Muhammad Iqbal, and others. The delegation briefed Raja Muhammad Farooq Hyder Khan on the deteriorating situation in occupied Kashmir and urged for organizing the role of the 20 camps at the public level.
The delegation informed Raja Muhammad Farooq Hyder Khan that the government of Azad Kashmir is presenting an extremely flawed project to rehabilitate the Kashmiri Migrants 1989, lacking the courage to involve migrants at any level of trust, which is causing anxiety and a sense of deprivation among the migrants regarding this project. The government’s blind eye to this unacceptable project is pushing the generation of migrants towards ruin. The Working Committee of Migrants urged the former Prime Minister to raise a strong voice in the upcoming Assembly session for the rehabilitation of migrants, two seats in the Assembly, implementation of domiciles, property rights of existing migrant settlements, and full implementation of the 6% quota.
During the conversation with the delegation, the former Prime Minister stated that migrants have migrated in the struggle for the freedom and right to self-determination of their state, following the tradition of the Prophet, they have always been associated with the movement. The commitment of the migrants’ movement for freedom is as solid as a rock. He assured the delegation that the people of the camps will actively participate in the struggle for the freedom of the occupied state from Indian occupation. They will not leave the Kashmiri people at the hands of the oppressive Indian forces. He reassured the migrant delegation that the government of Azad Kashmir will not take any action regarding the migrants that does not involve their trust. The government will decide the future, keeping in view the movement’s role and importance.
He assured that on Thursdays, during the Assembly session, they will highlight the concerns of migrants regarding the approved rehabilitation project, raising other demands mentioned in the rehabilitation project and charter of demands on the Assembly forum.
