SRINAGAR, May 29: Member Parliament from Anantnag, Hasnain Masoodi has said that “Accelerated Recruitment” announced by the J&K Administration to fill up 10,000 vacancies, as more a design to fast track implementation of the new domicile regime, than provide any relief to thousands of unemployed youth.
Masoodi said the J&K Reorganization Act 2019, whereby, the State of Jammu and Kashmir with Constitution of its own, has been fragmented and down-graded is unconstitutional for the reasons time and again spelt out and also agitated before the Apex Court, the domicile regime comprising of J&K Reorganization ( Adaptation of State Laws) Order 2020, J&K Civil Service ( Decentralization And Recruitment) 2020 and J&K Grant of Domicile Certificate ( Procedure) Rules 2020, framed under the Act is unconstitutionaland so are all the consequential steps taken.
He further stated that the Central Government and JK Administration are in terms of Constitutional Scheme and out of deference to the top Constitutional Court required to desist from implementing a constitutionally suspect low, under judicial scrutiny. Exercising powers under a law facing serious constitutional challenge would amount to an effort to preempt the final outcome of the proceedings, he stated.
The NC leader said constitutional challenge apart, the residents of J&K have no reason to welcome the “Accelerated Recruitment” drive, as 10,000 identified vacancies to be filled up exclusively by the State Subjects of Jammu and Kashmir would now be thrown open to thousands of non- state subjects claiming Domicile status. The domicile regime therefore, would not only prejudicially affect the employment rights of local youth but result in upswing in the unemployment graph in J&K. He demanded regularization of over 60,000 daily wagers, contractual and consolidated workers in J&K UT.
