| JPPF reacts to CM’s statement on CU V-C | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Mar 18: Province People’s Forum(JPPF), a conglomerate of 50 socio-cultural organizations, trade bodies and some small political groups in Jammu, has assailed the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s misleading statement in the State Assembly.
Addressing a press conference here today, the Chairman JPPF Pavitter Singh and other leaders of the forum stated that neither their forum or any other political, socio-cultural, trade and student organization of Jammu has ever demanded a person from Jammu city alone or even a Dogra to be appointed as Vice Chancellor of Central University, Jammu. All sections of people from Jammu, cutting across party lines, belonging to different communities had only objected to the proposal and later to the appointment of Prof Amitabh Mattoo as Vice Chancellor Central University, Jammu.
They were insisting on appointment of a person belonging to any community and from any sub-region of Jammu, having competence, qualification and merit to be appointed at the post. There is no dearth of competent academicians of high order belonging to Jammu region, who can fill the slot.
It is ironical that the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is unaware of the competence and high caliber of persons from Jammu region in various fields, including in the academic sphere. To quote one Prof. Naresh Gupta, who is amenable Professor in Department of Applied Mechanics in Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, has been conferred millennium plaque of honor by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh. There are many other eminent persons from Jammu who have earned laurels and awards from none others than the Presidents and Prime Ministers. The Chief Minister’s taunt to tell him about a person of competence from Jammu, whom he should recommend for appointment VC CU Jammu is highly regretted.
JPPF demanded immediate appointment of a competent local person at the post and make the university functional without loss of any more time. JPPF also appreciated the Revenue Minister Raman Bhalla’s announcement of conferring Dogra certificates to the people from Jammu.
Others who addressed the press conference included Inderjeet Khajuria, President Jammu Hoteliers Association, Narayan Singh President Rajput Sabha, Yash Pal Gupta, President Federation of Commerce and Industries Jammu, VP Sharma, M.L Sharma, Uday Chand of Duggar Pradesh, Kuldeep Luthra of VHP, Gajan Singh, President Gurdwara Committee, Virender Jain, Bhatia, Bhagat, Dev Raj Badu, Pawan Gupta, Amrit Mangotra and Gajan Singh, a leading transporter.
