<p>The SOS International, a leading body of displaced persons from <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/jammu-and-kashmir-properties-of-three-pok-based-terrorists-attached-in-poonch-23493177" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Pakistan-occupied Kashmir</a> (PoK), accused the BJP-led Centre on Sunday of failing to ensure their proper rehabilitation.</p>
<p>It alleged that the saffron party is using the narrative of reclaiming PoK for electoral gains.</p>
<p>"The unfortunate reality is that there is no concrete plan with the government to reclaim the PoK. Instead, this rhetoric is being pushed as a gimmick for elections," SOS International chairman Rajiv Chuni said in a statement here.</p>
<p>He accused the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/bjp-gets-1-crore-new-members-across-maharashtra-23482502" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Bharatiya Janata Party</a> (BJP) of exploiting the emotions of lakhs of displaced persons from PoK, 80 per cent of whom are living below the poverty line.</p>
<p>"The BJP is discussing reclamation of PoK while ignoring the hardships endured by those displaced due to Pakistani aggression in 1947 in Mirpur, Muzaffarabad and Poonch districts," Chuni said.</p>
<p>He alleged that the BJP-led Centre is trying to shift the narrative to focus solely on reclaiming PoK, not for national interest but to win elections.</p>
<p>Despite repeated pleas, Chuni said the government has failed to ensure proper rehabilitation of the displaced persons from PoK.</p>
