| Shortlisted Jail Warden candidates' stir completes 60 days | | | Bivek Mathur
Jammu, Jan 28 : Amidst hurly-burly of political activities in the state in view of the coming Lok Sabha elections, ruling coalition partners i.e. Congress and National Conference have turned insensitive towards a group of over 1200 shortlisted candidates for the post of Jail warden who are awaiting the release of final list even after a time period of three years. The agitating short-listed Jail Warden candidates are protesting for the last two months tolerating the chilly winters outside Press Club Jammu with their representatives leaving no opportunity to meet ruling ministers as well as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for a genuine redressal of their demands but the Omar Government has turned a deaf ear towards their slogans for justice to the 1200 candidates. The protest is among the longest protests of the state as well as country and if it (State Government) fails to release the final list of the short-listed candidates in a time bound manner, the protest will cross the 62 days mark of infamous Amarnath land controversy and the day it will cross the 62nd day will be considered another failure of Omar Government. The 60 days protest has already touched major marks being one among other similar protests in the state like Praja Parishad's Movement against Sheikh Abdullah's demand of self rule in Jammu and Kashmir and JJSF's protest against the Kashmiri leadership in 1968 demanding a Medical College in Jammu as in Kashmir wherein three students were killed in firing following which a Medical college was established in Jammu in 1971. Major political parties including National Panthers Student Union (NPSU), National Panthers Party (NPP), Socialist Democratic Party (SDP), Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and other parties had come in support of the agitating candidates but NC-Congress government is unmoved till date due to reasons best known to both. |
