Early Times Report
Jammu, June 17:The All J&K SC and ST Retired Employee Forum strongly condemns the highly provocative and derogatory remarks of Prof Sudhir K Jain, Vice Chancellor, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (SMVDU), Katra against the members of SC/ST/OBC category . Addressing a press conference, the president of forum, S S Sarangal (Retd Judge) strongly condemned the remarks of Prof Sudhir Kumar Jain wherein he had stated during a press conference on June 11 that reservation inculcates lethargic and leads to incompetence. Sarangal said, "Prof Jain has passed these sweeping remarks against reservation policy enshrined in the constitution of India for the SC, ST, OBC and other sections of the society who were deprived of their human rights and suffered for centuries together." "The forum had called an emergency meeting which also took a serious note of remarks of Prof. Sudhir Kumar Jain, Vice Chancellor of SMVDU Katra against reservation policy," he informed. He further said that statement of Jain is biased against the reservation policy which also seems to have resulted in the non implementation of reservation in SMVDU Katra so far. Sarangal requested the Prime Minister of India, J&K Governor (also Chancellor of SMVDU) and Chief Minister to take strong note of remarks of Prof Jain and ensure action against him suitably. Among others present during the press conference were Sewa Dass Digra, Mohan Lal Hans, Dr O P Bhagat, Kesar Singh, Prof G L Bhagat, S D Dogra, G L Lakhnotra, Dr G L Thappa, H R Phonsa, Harbans Lal, C L Banal, H D Salalia and T C Bavouria. |
