JAMMU, May 23: AAP leader Harsh Dev Singh has said that the present regime had not only snatched the livelihood of thousands of under-employed youth of J&K but had given the deadliest blow to their self esteem and honour as well. Singh said that such a shabby treatment and the most contemptuous humiliation of youth was totally unacceptable.
Singh called for withdrawal of the govt order disengaging the said youth. He was addressing a press conference in Jammu today. He strongly condemned the government move to disengage the services of NYCs, REKs, REZ, REJ who had been rendering their services in various government departments for the last several years.
"The educated youth can't be treated as disposables. This use and throw policy is highly unjustifiable and shall be fought tooth and nail. The services of thousands of youth who rendered services in other government departments as well have been terminated by the govt in the past with just one stroke of the pen. This is highly abominable and unacceptable," said Singh.
Pointing towards the pathetic plight of the unemployed youth protesting on the roads every other day, Singh accused the BJP government of cheating the daily wagers, BSF & CISF aspirants, Border battalions aspirants, NHM, MGNREGA, SAMAGRA, Anganwari & Asha Workers, Dental Surgeons, Contractual Teachers, SPOs, VDCs, Home Guards, SHGs, REKs, empanelled RETs, Pharmacists, NYCs, NYVs etc. during elections on the assurances of gainful employment and regularization.
Reminding the government assurance made in August, 2019 of engaging 50,000 youth on fast track basis through Accelerated Recruitment Committee (ARC), Singh maintained that the said statement had proved a cruel joke with neither such appointments made nor the proposed ARC making its presence felt anywhere. Likewise on February 8, 2020, the Home Minister made a statement in the Parliament that 84,000 posts were going to be filled up in J&K. What happened to the said assurance is also not known.
Earlier the government had disengaged 1,500 health professionals engaged in H&ME Department under SRO-24. Likewise, it had arbitrarily disengaged over 1,000 subject specific teachers appointed through a proper procedure under RMSA. It has disengaged 918 employees who were working in the Social Welfare Department for several years. It had rendered 5000 employees of Saakshar Bharat Mission (SBM) jobless by discontinuing the said scheme. |
