Accusing the Jammu and Kashmir government of
“betraying” ex- militants, senior leader Lok Jan Shakti Party (Y) Sanjay Saraf
on Tuesday demanded their immediate rehabilitation on the lines of Punjab and
Northeast states.
Addressing a press conference here, Saraf said, “These militants have
surrendered their weapons long back after spending a long time in jails. They
want to live a peaceful and prosperous life with their families.”
He added that lives of thousands of ex-militants are at sake because government
has backtracked on its promises.
The demands of ex-militants include “respectable citizenship”, grant of easy
loans, ex-gratia relief to families of dead militants and shifting of local
militants to jails in the state so that they could meet their family members.
They also seek revocation of PSA and AFSPA, easy availability of loans,
passports for Hajj and Umrah and free education for their children.
Saraf also slammed the government for “delaying” the revocation of AFSPA and
PSA.
“Every time government comes up with a statement that it will be revoked slowly but nothing concrete has come yet. We demand an immediate revocation of such draconian laws,” Saraf said.
