- The rehabilitation policy for the former militants who are in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) may hit a roadblock, with the Congress, the key ally in the coalition government of Jammu and Kashmir, expressing reservations following a scathing attack by the Bharatiya Janata Party in Jammu that the policy was aimed at appeasing the anti-national elements.
Rehabilitation of youth
The policy envisages rehabilitation of the youth who crossed over to the PoK in 1989 for training in arms and ammunition. A government notification said the policy is intended to facilitate the return of ex-militants who belong to Jammu and Kashmir, and had crossed over to PoK/Pakistan for training in insurgency but had given up insurgent activities due to change of heart and are willing to return to the State.
Anti-national decision
BJP says "It is an irony that 1.75 lakh west Pakistan refugees have not been given citizenship in J&K even after 63 years of Independence. And you are appeasing traitors. With such a policy, you are sending a message that those who take up arms will be rewarded."
