| BJP FLAYS SAJJAD’s DEMAND FOR | | MORE JOB SHARE FOR KASHMIR YOUTH IN GOVT | |
Jammu, June 7
The state unit of the BJP
has expressed its deep amazement over the
Peoples’ Conference Chief, Sajjad Lone’s,
threat of gheaoring the civil secretariat and
start civil disobedience movement if the recently
released list of candidates selected in the
Kashmir Administrative services(KAS) was not
revoked and more job avenues were not created
for educated youth in the Kashmir valley.
Lone told mediamen in Srinagar today that
candidates from the Jammu region had shared
more seats in the KAS
selection list which should
be revoked immediately so that more candidates
from the Kashmir valley were included in the
revised list.He also said that Kashmiris deserved
better share in the Government jobs.
A senior BJP leader Dr Nirmal Singh said that
the allegation of Mr Lone regarding Jammuites
having taken a lion’s share in the KAS selected
team and demand for more jobs for Kashmiris
had no justification.He said candidates usually
get selected in the KAS cadre through a competitive
examination.
Dr Singh said that Mr Lone’s demand for more share for
Kashmiris in Government jobs was fraught with
dangers of further aggravating the level of
regional disparities and imbalance.
He said that already 95 per cent posts right
from class IV to the seceratary in the civil
secretariat are in the hands of Kashmiris.
The BJP leader said “during the last three
decades we have been clamouring against growing
regional discrimination.”
He said the BJP has,even during the roundtable
conferences, pleaded for evolving a statutory
mechanism for the distribution of jobs equally
between the regions and Jammu
and Kashmir.
The same mechanism should keep the interests
of people of Ladakh also in mind.
He said that already the level of mistrust of
people of one region against the other has
increased.He suggested that to end regional
imbalance and mistrust the Government should
introduce provincial cadre posts and district
cadre posts. If it was done,he added,an employee
of one province need not be shifted to another
province.
Dr Nirmal singh said that besides evolving a
suitable mechanism for ending hegemony of
employees of one region over the
other there
was need for equal devolution of fund in the
Jammu and Kashmir regions.
During the last 50 years
people in the Jammu
region have received a stepmotherly treatment
as far as allocation of funds for various
development projects were concerned.
He stated that the result of this discrimination
was that the successive Governments had
ensured that there was better road connectivity
in the Kashmir valley than in the Jammu region.
He said the Government has been earmarking
bigger quantum of funds for the development
of roads,lakes,parks,tourist resorts in the
Kashmir valley than in the Jammu region
