Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 24: A youth delegation led by Kanwal Singh and Sohail Malik met the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and former CM of J&K Ghulam Nabi Azad at Jammu and highlighted the apprehensions and issues concerning the youth of J&K post the revocation of Articles 370 and Article 35A.
Former Minister Manohar Lal Sharma and Jagjyot Singh (Youth Secretary) were also present at the Public Darbar. The youth delegation demanded that certain provisions like UPSC, age relaxation to the domicile of J&K in Central and UPSC examination, Reservation in government jobs for the youth of J&K, retention of SRO 43 which provides compassionate appointment, continuation of State Civil Services Examination (KAS), reservation for the youth of J&K in admission to various accredited institution/universities must be retained at any cost. The delegation further added that provisions like UPSC age relaxation of five years to the domicile of J&K was implemented in order to compensate the years lost to violence, conflict and disturbance in J&K. Many candidates are yet to utilize the provision and thus untimely scrapping of age relaxation clause can disrupt the process of rehabilitation and integration. With pretext to the increasing unemployment in India, the majority of youth in J&K is of the apprehension that with the scrapping of Articles 370 and 35A, their right to 100% entitlement in state government jobs, admissions to universities and accredited institutions, and the age relaxation clause in UPSC, Central/State Civil Services examination now stands null and void. With their careers hanging in the midst of political crisis, the majority of youth is worried about the consequences and repercussions of losing their job rights.
On hearing the demands and issues of the Youth delegation, Ghulam Nabi Azad assured the students that their issues will definitely be addressed. Azad also expressed concern over the present state of crisis of the Youth of J&K and was of the opinion that the majority of Youth across India has suffered because of the ill policies of the present government. |
