Srinagar, Sep 24 (UNI) Despite approval by Administrative Council (AC) that both Kashmiri migrants and non-migrants pandits are eligible for recruitment under Prime Ministers package, fast unto-death by Kashmiri Pandit Sangarsh Samiti (KPSS) president Sanjay Kumar Tickoo continued for the fifth day on Thursday.
Mr Tickoo continued his fast though his blood pressure was low on Wednesday evening , Sandeep Koul told UNI today. Infact 'I have also joined the fast-unto-death from today', he said other members will also join them if government fails to give positive response.
When asked what is the issue now when AC which met last evening has approved that both Kashmiri migrants and non migrant Kashmiri pundits are eligible for recruitment under PM package, he demanded a written assurance from the government. 'We have heard about these approvals in the past also but until we get in writing our fast will not end,' he said, adding that this is a question of our 500 educated youths who are unemployed.
