NYCs, Rehbr e Khel, other being disengaged to give benefit to people of outside J&K:- Mehbooba

says, very step taken to disempower people of J&K,

Srinagar May 23 (PTK) Former Chief Minister and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti demanded a rollback of the what she termed as “absurd order”, saying “re-advertising the posts was a malicious move initiated to facilitate non-residents’ entry on these posts.”

“Terminating services of Rehbar e Khel, Janglat, Zirat, NYCs and referring these posts to SSRB afresh is a “malicious move to destroy careers of these youngsters by ensuring non-residents are given jobs at the cost of locals. LG should immediately rollback this absurd order

“Such a decision would have serious ramification if not rescinded immediately in the larger public interest.” She said

“Popular governments in any democracy work on the public mandate and hence they are answerable to the people for the commitments made with them. “These schemes framed in view of the rising unemployment of technically qualified youth were launched by the successive governments of which the BJP has been once a coalition partner in J&K,” she added.

“These schemes were framed in view of the rising unemployment for technically qualified youth launched by the successive governments. These youth had been appointed on merit basis through proper recruitment procedure. Most of them have now crossed the age limit and are not in a position to compete at this stage with the fresh pass outs in their respective fields,” she said.

The decision would jeopardise future of educated youth working against these vacancies who are highly qualified and creamy layer of the society. The decision is quite arbitrary in nature and was bound to usurp livelihood rights of the affected youth,” she said.

She said that steps are being taken to disempower people of youth and provide opportunities to people from outside J&K. (PTK)
