Govt starts issuing domicile certificates to refugees of West PAK

Govt starts issuing domicile certificates to WP Refugees
The Government of Jammu and Kashmir has finally started issuing domicile certificates to West Pakistan Refugees (WPR), meeting their demands after decades of controversy over the matter.
“Following the orders of Government of India (GoI), the state government has authorized Naib-Tehsildars to issue domicile certificates to the West Pak Refugees in which it is mentioned that they came from Pakistan and at present they reside in JK at such and such address,” sources informed Greater Kashmir.
Divisional Commissioner Jammu, DrPawanKotwal, told Greater Kashmir that the refugees were facing problems while applying for central government jobs.
“The Government of India (GoI) found a way out and issued an order to the state government to issue certificates to the West Pak Refugees with a specific format mentioning that they reside in Jammu and Kashmir,” Dr Kotwal said.
He, however, said that this was not a Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC) but just an authentication that the West Pak Refugees reside in Jammu and Kashmir.
The BJP, which stands for citizenship and voting rights to these refugees, claimed that this is just the beginning and all the genuine issues of the refugees including citizenship and voting rights will be resolved stage by stage on humanitarian grounds.
During campaigning of LokSabha elections, Prime Minister NarendraModi in a rally at Hira Nagar, Jammu, had advocated for resolving issues of West Pak Refugees on humanitarian grounds including citizenship and voting rights.
“It has been done for the livelihood of the refugees,” BJP State President Sat Sharma said, adding, “The party is vigorously pursuing all the genuine issues of West Pak Refugees including citizenship rights which would be resolved stage by stage.”

China on Tuesday unveiled its J-20 stealth fighter jet at its biggest air show which will have major implications for India as it is the first indigenously-made fifth-generation Chinese aircraft which Pakistan has shown interest in acquiring. Two J-20 aircraft which made waves in the Chinese media in the last few years flew at the Zhuhai city air show where the Pakistan Air Force is also taking part flying with its J-17 Thunder jets which are jointly manufactured with China. This is the first, public show of the J-20 warplane. Pakistan, the largest importer of Chinese arms has said earlier that it is in talks with China to buy the FC-31 - an export variant of the same aircraft. The FC-31 was briefly flown in the 2014 Zhuhai airshow.

India is yet to make stealth aircraft which can penetrate through enemy radars. The J

Jammu is up in arms against the authorities. This time, it is not against discriminatory policies being pursued by the successive Kashmir-dominated and Valley-centric governments in Jammu & Kashmir since 1947, but against the settlement of Rohingyas from Myanmar in Jammu and Ladakh, both strategically vital for national security. According to the late Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, the number of Rohingya Muslims living in different parts of Jammu city and around it, was 5,107 in 2010 (AINS, 10 October 2015).
