Why selective application of new recruitment policy?

Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 17: State Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has again asserted that the new recruitment policy would continue. The CM said he would rather advocate a recruitment policy whereby four persons would be appointed on stipend and not a policy wherein just one person would be appointed on full pay.
The State high court has already stayed the new recruitment policy but the latest assertion by the CM indicates his determination to have the new recruitment policy on the rails. It is obvious that the state government has financial constraints, but the decision to appoint candidates on permanent posts with temporary wages is really unheard of. There is a growing unrest among the youth of the State against the new recruitment policy. Agitations have already been started by the unemployed youth against the recruitment policy.
The growing unrest among the unemployed youth should not be taken lightly by anybody. The unrest has the potential of snowballing into a major crisis the State government might find difficult to tackle. It is very unfortunate that when it comes to expenditure incurred by ministers and senior bureaucrats there is no financial crunch but when unemployed youth are to be appointed in government jobs the State suddenly realizes the coffers are empty.
Something that has completely been overlooked in the entire development is the fact that the new recruitment policy which has been announced by the State government does not strangely apply to those appointed on the gazetted posts by the State Public Service Commission! The State government has lost the rationale on which it bases its new recruitment policy by keeping those to be appointed on the gazetted posts out of the ambit of the new recruitment policy.
If financial crunch is the sole reason for which the State government finds it difficult to give full salaries to those appointed by the State Services Recruitment Board why the same yardstick does not apply to those appointed by the Public Service Commission? After all, both those recruited in the State either at the non-gazetted level or at the gazetted level are employees of the State government whose salaries and other monetary perks are to be borne by the State government. This discrepancy deprives the State government of the financial crunch logic. It is now for the State government to clarify the anomaly. Why two yardsticks? Why discrimination against those to be recruited at the non-gazetted level only?
