JAMMU, Jan 11: Castigating the Government for its silence over issue of reservation in promotions, Jammu Kashmir Reserved Categories Empowerment Alliance (JKRCEA) has threatened to launch mass agitation if the Coalition Government failed to resolve their issues.
Addressing a press conference, the heads of various wings of JKRCEA have said that they unitedly stand for SC, ST and OBC communities of J&K whose population is approximately 35 to 40 lakh and in one voice condemned the non-responsiveness attitude of Government in defending its position on the issue of reservation in promotion in scores of writ petitions in the High Court of J&K and Apex Court of the country.
Bod Raj Bhagat, President, Socio-Religious Wing of JKRCEA said that the Division Bench of J&K High Court on 09.10.2015 had struck down provisions of Reservation in Promotions where the State Government was itself a party. The gravity of matter is that the Government preferred not to file SLP in Apex Court and when the private respondents belonging to reserved categories got the impugned order stayed through SLP, the bureaucracy of J&K is not implementing this stay order and affecting promotions in various departments, Bhagat added.
RC Bhasin of Retired Employees Wing of JKRCEA appealed to the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to intervene into this very sensitive and serious matter and bring suitable ordinance, resolution, bill or amendment in the current session of the Assembly to resolve the issue once forever.
