JAMMU, Oct 1: The Bhartiya Janta Party and Jammu State Morcha have strongly come against Board of Professional Studies for what they alleged as regional and communal bias in the recently released MBBS select list.
Alleging sheer discrimination with the Jammu aspirants by the Board of Professional Entrance Examination (BPEE), Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) Jammu Mahanagar, today held a protest demonstration at Kacchi Chawani Chowk.
Holding placards, large number of BJP activists led by its District President Rajesh Gupta torched the effigy of the government to show their anger against gross discrimination with Jammu aspirants in selection to professional courses.
Speaking on the occasion, Rajesh Gupta alleged that "it is another example of sheer discrimination with the Jammuites that Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BPEE) denying the Jammu aspirants of their due share in admission to MBBS, BDS and BVSC courses.
Justifying his accusation, Rajesh Gupta informed that out of a total of 290 MBBS seats, only 93 have gone to the non-Muslims, including Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Kashmiri Hindus and that their share in open category is only 12.5 per cent.
He said the Muslim aspirants hailing from Jammu province and Kargil have also been treated unfairly by the Board.
Meanwhile, commenting on the results of CET(Common Entrance Test) conducted by the J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examination, Jammu State Morcha (P) has reiterated its demand for implementation of 1998 Singhal Committee Report. The committee which was appointed by the J&K government after a month long intensive agitation launched under the leadership of Jammu Bar Association and student organizations had recommended that the selection list of Jammu as well as Kashmir province be prepared separately. All admissions to the professional colleges (government as well as private) should be made by the respective universities in accordance with their admission rules and acts. The seats in the Jammu colleges should be allocated to candidates from the Jammu division and those in Kashmir colleges from the Kashmir division by their respective Universities. Seats for Ladakh region should be reserved separately in both the universities. |
