“That was a day Darkest than a dark Night”, ‘we were in our homes and were discussing of our future then suddenly it happened’ eyes of Brij Lal (93) were like a pond of tears while explaining the time of genocide with extreme plight”.

"We choose this side of line at the time of partition but only discrimination has been rewarded to us by the successive Centre as well as State governments so far"- said Parmeshwari Devi (85). She is Widowed and have 5 sons and 4 Daughters.
After being neglected by successive state governments for the last 63 years, the POK refugees are still surviving regardless as a result of overall apathy by the respective Governments Both in state and in centre.
Beyond the end of attraction these refugees are living under unhygienic conditions and are also deprived of basic facilities. Statements claiming promises for their rehabilitation and rights were being issued by various ministers from time to time but on ground nothing has happened so far.
Pertinently, PoK refugees had already filed petition in the high court way back in 2002 demanding uniform policy for both Valley migrants and PoK refugees. But the petition is still pending, as a result of very cleverly planned delayed tactics.
Rajeev Chuni, president, Save Our Soul (SOS) International an organization of PoK refugees, on the this issue revealing the pain and suffering of PoK refugees has said that the life of PoK refugees are like hell, they have left everything except the clothes they have worn in their native place at the time of genocide, most of them come under the Below Poverty Line (BPL) and their lives are going bad to worse day by day but the biggest distress ion for us is, right after we Choose this side of line at the time of partition only discrimination has been rewarded to us by all the Central as well as State governments so far.
“Where On the one side valley migrants are provided with many types of incentives but on the other hand government has nothing to offer for PoK refugees, it is sheer injustice that government is allotting flats to Valley migrants as well as also giving them money for the repair of their damaged houses in the valley” he added.
He alleged that valley migrants have everything for a luxurious life, they brings all their movable property with them and are getting every type of facilities, exemption from Income Tax whereas on the other hand PoK refuges who came in totally devastated condition are left on their destiny.
Pt. Ashok Khajuria, Convenor, State Bhartiya Janta Party Sharanarthi Cell (SBJPSC) on this issue has said that at the state government has adopted a discriminatory behavior towards the PoK refugees; he stated that if we were a kashmiri spoken individual than our status and condition would had been different.
On the amount 1.50 lakh of compensation which has been given by the state Government to these regfugee’s families he memorized that in 1971 after the death of prime minister then Indira Gandhi, Rajeev Ghandhi at prade stadium has announced an amount of Rs. 25000/- as a relief package towards the refugee families which could not be implemented than at which proportion the current Government is offering this amount as relief package.
He said that this little amount as a relief package is a nasty joke for these refugees who had received nothing before from the Government of India as well as the state government.

This is a total Injustice, being a refugee and as convener of (SBJPSC) I would say that at least an amount of Rs. 50, 00,000/- as a relief package towards the displaced families could make difference in their Life style.
