In 1960s, 5 lakh refugees were given citizenship: ISL
Srinagar, May 15: Terming the news reports as misleading that refugees had not been given state subject rights in the state, the Islamic Student League (ISL) chief patron Shakeel Ahmad Bakshi on Tuesday alleged the refugees had already been included in the census and voter lists of the state. He claimed that in 1960s five lakh refugees were given citizenship in Jammu province.
In a statement Bakshi said, “The increasing population in Jammu, voter lists and demand for increase in assembly seats are the clear indications that refugees have already been given citizenship rights of the state.” He alleged that in Jammu province during the Plebiscite Front movement in 1960s, five lakh people were given citizenship.
“In the same way 16,000 non-resident Chinese-Tibetans were settled in Leh and Zanaskar,” he said, adding that the State Subject Enquiry Commission–1999 in its final report has confirmed it.
