Srinagar, Mar 15: Former Chief Minister and Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) president, Ghulam Nabi Azad today questioned the Government for hiring a blacklisted agency for the conduct of exams in Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a function at Zaloora area in Sopore, Azad alleged that all the recruitment agencies in Jammu and Kashmir choose to conduct exams through the companies which otherwise have already been rejected and blacklisted by many States. “The trend to hire such companies has resulted in the postponement of exams many times in the last 5 years, something that hasn’t happened in the last 75 years,” he said.
“At a time when thousands of youth are facing trouble in getting jobs, it is beyond one’s understanding as to why the authorities are hiring these blacklisted companies and end up putting the careers of youth on stake” Azad said, adding ironically why such blacklisted (APTECH) agencies are being allowed in J&K only.

“The Government should properly investigate such agencies for the sake of the careers of youth”, he said.
Earlier addressing a gathering at Zaloora area in Sopore, Azad said that his party, if voted to power, will undo all the anti-people decisions taken by the incumbent BJP Government.
He said that the restoration of Statehood, land rights and the security of Government jobs for the local youth is the priority and if voted to power, he will ensure all these rights again to J&K people through the Assembly.
The former CM said that the youth from outside J&K are not enemies, but the fact is the children here (in J&K) cannot compete with them given the ability. “The children, hailing from outside, use to speak in English soon after they take birth, but here our children start learning basics after the age of 6 years, when they are being enrolled in the schools. Therefore, the Government jobs here should be ensured for the locals only,” he said.
Azad further said that the recent demolition drive by the Government would have made 70 lakh people across J&K homeless. “It is the time for J&K people to decide about their future and extend their support to BJP or their own people,” he said.
He added that the people are not being even allowed to utter anything, but this situation will be changed shortly if they are elected to power.
