report
Excelsior
Correspondent
JAMMU, Dec 16:
While welcoming the
Union Government’s decision
on reservations to OBCs, Backward
Classes Democratic Party (BCDP)
today demanded implementation of
Mandal Commission recommendations
in Jammu and Kashmir.
The
demand was made by the president
of BCDP, Shiraz Azhari at a press
conference here. He also demanded
amendment in SRO 294 saying it
has not been beneficial to
backward classes and people of
other down trodden communities.
Criticizing
the State Government for
maintaining a stoic silence on
the implementation of Mandal
Commission recommendations, he
said that no steps were taken by
the previous Governments of
National Conference (NC) and that
headed by Mufti Mohammed Sayeed
in this regard, despite the
repeated pleas from the members
of the community.
He
said that political parties feel
threatened by implementation of
Mandal report in J&K as
backward classes constitute 70
percent of the State’s total
population. "To divert the
attention of people from the real
issues these parties raise the
hollow slogans of autonomy
etc", he added.
He
further stressed on granting of
scholarships to the students of
the backward categories and their
nomination in various educational
training and vocational
institutions.
He
said activists from various
political parties and social
organizations have joined the
BCDP to accelerate the struggle
for the people of backward
categories and down-trodden
communities.
