JAMMU, May 14: Additional general secretary of National Conference (NC) and former minister today expressed grave concern over the NEET paper leak frequently in BJP regime, saying such incidents trample the confidence of aspirational youth in the system and severely sap their spirit at a crucial stage of their career building.
Interacting with the youth at Kulien in Jammu North Assembly Constituency, Sadhotra described the paper leak as a glaring failure of the Centre in safeguarding the legitimate rights and future of the younger generation. He said the youth of the country work tirelessly with dedication and discipline to compete in national level examinations and any lapse or manipulation in such examinations delivers a devastating blow to their morale.
“The youth are the future of the nation and their trust in institutions must remain intact,” he said, adding that repeated controversies in recruitment examinations and entrance tests have generated uncertainty and anxiety among candidates preparing for various competitive exams and educated unemployed youth across the country.
Sadhotra sought foolproof and credible mechanism for holding NEET examinations. Sadhotra also referred to growing frustration among educated youngsters needs to be addressed with sincerity and urgency. He emphasized that transparent recruitment mechanisms and fair examinations are essential for strengthening faith in democratic institutions and governance.
Referring to the assurance given by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah regarding the filling up of 25,000 vacancies in various Government departments, Sadhotra said the initiative would go a long way in assuaging the aspirations of educated unemployed youth and empowering them economically and socially.
