JAMMU, June 17: Pradesh Youth Congress (PYC), today appealed to the Governor’s administration to do justice with the youth by cancelling all the illegal appointments, especially in J&K Bank, made under the previous regime and conduct fresh and fair recruitment for the welfare of deserving youth of the State.
A delegation of youth today called on Uday Chib, State president PYC and raised serious concern due to height of corruption and favouritism in the State.
They asserted that for the past several years thousands of backdoor appointments had been made in the various branches of J&K Bank without notifying advertisements for the posts or following the formal recruitment process. They said that there were reports that thousands of candidates were illegally doled jobs in the bank on the recommendations of the political leaders at the cost of meritorious and deserving candidates who were covertly divested of the opportunity to compete.
Chib gave a patient hearing to the delegation and assured that the Pradesh Youth Congress, will intensify its fight against the corruption in J&K. He urged upon the Governor to make public the names of politicians and bureaucrats who were involved in the backdoor appointments.
PYC president asserted that the previous regime of BJP had misused their power for furtherance of their political and economic interests and also criticized J&K Bank for acting as a tool in the hands of corrupt politicians besides indulging in massive frauds and irregularities.
Chib, while welcoming the removal of J&K Bank Chairman, said that only removing the Chairman is not the solution, the Governor’s Administration should conduct in-depth enquiry of the wrong-doings in the bank which included backdoor illegal appointments, allotments of loans worth hundreds of crores in violation of norms and release of overdrafts of hefty amounts to habitual defaulters of other banks.
He urged the Governor Satya Pal Malik to investigate and cancell all the illegal appointments made under the BJP-PDP regime and conduct fresh and fair recruitment.
