| Situation in J&K 'alarming', government under-scanner: Tarigami | | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Nov 4 : Demanding immediate revocation of the new job policy of the Jammu and Kashmir government, CPI (M) State Secretary and MLA Kulgam Mohamamd Yousuf Tarigami today said the situation in the state is 'alarming' and the government is 'under-scanner'.
"People are watching each and every activity of the government functioning and it is under-scanner. It is high time now. The government should learn lessons from its past as the situation at present is alarming," Mr Tarigami told reporters at a press conference here.
The CPI (M) leader, however, condemned the new job policy introduced by the government and demanded its revocation.
"The Government last year announced one lakh jobs for the youths of the state and it is unfortunate that instead of providing employment security, the government has pushed the youth into the dark by introducing new job policy," Mr Tarigami said.
The policies and programmes aimed at containing the unemployment by the Centre and state government are quite inadequate and whatever implementation are there, they are not pouring satisfactory results.
"Likewise Sher-e-Kashmir Employment Policy and other Self Employment Schemes in vogue are ineffective in attracting the educated youth," he said.
He said it was astonishing and unexpected that instead of polling resources and exploring possibilities of jobs, the government has resorted to a much harsh employment policy providing for reduction in the salaries of intending employees to just 50 per cent and 75 per cent of basic pay for first two and next three years respectively.
"How can the government justify itself after announcing such a anti-youth policy that has deepen the disillusionment and distress among the youth?" he asked.
Terming the youth as the "essentials of economic prosperity" and over all development, the CPI (M) leader said, "educated youth are left with only hope of livelihood in government jobs because the private sector in the state assures limited jobs and those too mainly to the technocrats and professionals." Lamenting the recent price hike in petro products, he said, "the common man who is already bearing the brunt of food inflation and other economic adversities has been put to yet another economic blow."
