*Rally on May 29 to lodge protest
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, May 24: Joint Action Committee (General Category) expressed resentment over 13 MLAs particularly Rigzin Zora to introduce Private Members Bill in the Legislative Assembly on the issue of reservation in promotions.
Addressing a joint press conference, Ved Prakash Sharma, Convener, Joint Action Committee and President Brahman Sabha, Vinod Gupta, President, Central Mahajan Sabha and Narayan Singh, President, Rajput Sabha said by this action, the MLAs have breached the oath of the constitution taken by them while assuming the charge. MLAs have built an unholy consortium on the basis of caste to seek murder of merit and seniority, they added.
They expressed concern over the conduct of these MLAs who have been voted to power by all of us irrespective of caste, colour and creed and now their approach has become partisan as is evident from the fact that they are trying to bring amendments to overrule the justice delivered by Judicial system after thorough scrutiny of rules and merits of case in vogue.
They stated that alter 11 years of relentless, struggle, High Court quashed the Reservation in Promotion Rules and held it unconstitutional.
Joint Action Committee (JAC) warns the political parties and their MLAs to refrain from playing vote bank politics and act on the sacred oath of constitution which they (MLAs) had taken, they said, adding that step of the political parties to muzzle the voice of the general category and undermining the judicial verdict will be suicidal and all such MLAs will be thrown out of power and a new political alternative will be given to general category people.
Joint Action Committee as a mark of protest against such MLAs in particular has called for a massive rally on May 29 at Maharaja Hari Singh Park near Hotel Fortune Inn Rivera, Prem Nagar from 9 am onwards, they stated.
They appealed to general category people to participate in large number along with their family members to register strong protest against these MLAs, who have hurt the sentiments and taken the general category people for granted and teach them a lesson in ensuing Municipal and ULS elections.
Among others present were Ankur Sharma, Convener, JAC Kathua district, Ravi Khajuria, Convener, JAC Samba district, etc.
