JAMMU, Feb 14: All India Backward Classes Union (AIBCU) today accused the Government of ignoring the people who have been struggling for the past 27 years for their due constitutional rights after the Apex Court’s judgment on Mandal Report after making “BanderBaant of reservation”.
In a statement issued here, today the Union said the reservation on the name of “Backwardness” is no where in the country but it was the creation of Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah in 1980 with the help of a Committee. This report in view of Apex Court judgment stands nullified in J&K State too but the State so called honest rulers maintained the RBA reservation @ 20% which is no where in the country.
The socially and educationally backward classes’ people who are called Other Social Castes (OSCs) in J&K State were given 2% reservation against their population which is about more than 50% of the State’s total population, it added.
The Union said now the present Act by the State Government to grant 3% reservation to people on the name of Pahari language is a mockery of the system which indicates that now reservation system will not be on the socially backwardness but would be on the name of the language; a system not covered in any judiciary/constitutional system also.
Again 6% reservation granted to the people of unreserved categories whose annual income is one lakh or less than one lac only to befool the people and under this garb every non-Government employee can get this type of income certificate, though he may be playing in lakhs; a treacherous way to corner 6% reservation to the people who were already availing 82% of reservation and with the new reservation it has gone to 84%.
This was discussed in the executive meet of the Union in which among others was addressed by M.R. Bangotra and Prof. Kali Dass also.
