| JKSAC condemns controversial reservation order | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 28: Jammu Kashmir Sharnarthi Action Committee (JKSAC) President Gurdev Singh has condemned the Governor Satya Pal Mailk and his administration for issuing a controversial order in favour of Kashmiri migrants by substituting a paragraph to clause III of rule 21 of Jammu & Kashmir reservation rules vide SRO 321 dated 27-05-2019. Under this order Kashmiri migrants have been allowed reservations benefits under category of backward area, line of control and international border even if they are settled outside the state. Singh termed this order as totally biased, discriminatory and devoid of logic, thus depriving the wards of real stake holder particularly the DPs of 1947 from POK. He further said the DPs of 1947 from POK are not against any particular section/society nor Kashmiri migrants whatever they have been given. He blamed that Governor is being misguided by the elements sitting in his administration as he issued this controversial order without ascertaining the real status of the class benefited under this order. He must be aware of the fact that Kashmiri migrants left their houses in lieu of their having certain temporary security and adverse social conditions and that happened well under the nose of mighty Indian and state government. The DPs of 1947 from POK were residing in far flung backward areas prior to 1947 and or even now they were settled in most backward areas in district Rajouri, Poonch, Jammu and Kathua. The majority of the Kashmiri migrants have come from cities and towns of the valley and are settled in central areas of Jammu and other parts of India and they shall not be able to establish that they have resided in the backward areas for the 15 years period. They have never seen any kind of border or backward area and they have never faced even in dreams burnt of Pakistani firing and shelling, yet they have been provided such benefits without any logic. He regretted that the Governor has not used same yardstick for people who actually live in backward or on LOC or IB and they have not been given similar benefits like Kashmiri migrants. He asserted that DPs alongwith other people have been deprived of this benefit for none of their fault. Pertinent to mention that DPs have lost thousands of their precious life during 1947 turmoil at the hands of Pakistan tribals and till today they are bearing the loss of lives by Pakistani firing on the LOC and IB in Jammu region. He appealed to all political parties to take this issue seriously and raise their voice against this biased controversial order which has been issued without any logic against the deserving people. He also appealed to Governor to re-examine the issue and extend the benefit to the deserving people actually residing within the backward areas, LOC and IB particularly the DPs of 1947 from POK who are also real stake holder and claiming for reservation for their wards from the last 7 decades. |
