JAMMU, Apr 1: Accusing the BJP Govt of cheating the unemployed educated youth during elections in the name of employment, a strong contingent of Panther activists led by party chairman Harshdev Singh staged a protest demonstration here today.
While torching the effigy of the Govt, the angry protesters raised slogans seeking justice for the CISF, BSF aspirants sitting on protest for their genuine demands.
Speaking to the media, Harshdev said that CISF and BSF aspirants had been languishing on roads outside the BJP headquarters in Trikuta Nagar for more than two months now, seeking their absorption in paramilitary forces.
“ No one has paid heed to their genuine demands. The BJP has only deceived them with false assurances for its political interests. Following the issuance of notification for the recruitment of 1356 constables in CISF and BSF in 2018, several thousands of aspirants from J&K had applied for the posts. When the aspirants raised their voice to increase the number of advertised posts, the BJP leadership assured the aspirants if they voted in favour of BJP in DDC elections the Govt would further add 2,000 posts to the existing vacancies. But nothing of that sort happened. The deceitful BJP after receiving huge mandate from them in the elections only abandoned the youth like disposables”, Harshdev regretted.
Deploring the policy of coercion and intimidation being adopted under the Saffron rule, Harshd ev Singh condemned the incident when the Govt used police force to disperse the protesting aspirants in ruthless manner. He said that the aspirants who had been waiting for their selection for the last three years were subjected to physical assault and heinous exploitation. This is obnoxious and intolerable. What happened to your DDC elections manifesto promising 70000 jobs with hundred percent reservation for locals? Why the CSF/ BSF aspirants who had completed all the rounds of recruitment process were made to reel under hot sun, chilly nights and thunder showers? They voted for you. How could you be so callous and averse to the woes of the youth who had ascended you to power? You shall be decimated and blown to smithereens by the young blood, Harshdev warned BJP.
Senior members Rajesh Padgotra, Surinder Chouhan, Rajesh Gondhi, Ravinder Jamwal, Khajoor Singh, Mohinder Singh and others also accompanied.
