| Jarring voices on inter-district recruitment issue | | | Early Times Report:
Jammu, Sept 4-The Panthers Party and the BJP, which opposed adoption of inter-district recruitment Bill by the Assembly, have explained that they have suggested to the Government to bring a fresh Bill in a modified form.
During the time Ghulam Nabi Azad was the chief Minister, the BJP and the Panthers Party, had been supporters of ban on inter district recruitment. However, vice chairman Panthers Party, Harsh Dev Singh, said that "we opposed the Bill in the form it had been prepared for introducing in the Assembly." He said "I have suggested to the Government that only in general category or open merit there should be ban on inter district recruitment." He added that as far as candidates belonging to the Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribes were concerned there should be no inter- district ban. "Let candidates belonging to these two categories be entitled to apply for posts in any district," Harsh Dev demanded.
He said that banning inter-district recruitment will not only result in further disintegration of the state but also contribute to various malpractices and corruption in securing certificates in support of their claim they belonged and lived in far flung villages.
Some of the BJP legislators too stated that the Bill on inter-district recruitment ban without modification would prove against the interest of the SC and ST candidates. They said that if SC and ST candidates too were covered under inter district recruitment ban reserved seats in various districts would be taken by those belonging to the general category.
However, M. Y. Tarigami a CPIM legislator said that the ban on inter district recruitment was called for because of three factors. First, better qualified candidates belonging to Jammu and Srinagar cities and other major towns grabbed maximum share of jobs in backward districts with the result those belonging to those undeveloped districts faced the crunch of unemployment. Secondly, SC and ST candidates belonging to the Jammu region grabbed jobs in various districts of the Kashmir valley leaving the Kashmiri youths fume and fret. Thirdly, those from Srinagar getting recruited in district cadre jobs in Kupwara district later refused to attend to their duties and managed attachment in Srinagar. This way work suffered in the remote districts and hence best way was to recruit candidates belonging to the same districts.
