Early Times Report

Jammu, June 12: Even as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that the cabinet will soon review the report prepared by a cabinet subcommittee on existing reservation rules, agitating students under the banner of the Open Merit Students Association J&K demanded that all recruitment processes should be stopped till the presentation of the report.
In a statement issued here today, OSMA strongly demands that all recruitment processes be halted immediately until the Reservation Sub-Committee report is submitted, made public, and implemented transparently.
“Implementing policy changes without public disclosure is unacceptable. The Open Merit community will not accept silent decisions made behind closed doors”, agitating students further demanded.
Meanwhile Parliament Member for Srinagar Parliamentary Constituency, and senior National Conference leader Aga Syed Ruhullah, on Thursday said that we should wait for the cabinet review and report on the reservation policy.
Talking to the media, he said
