The Educated SC, ST and OBC unemployed youth from all over the Rajouri district took part in the meeting. R K Kalsotra talked about the next step in so far as backlog issue is concerned. He stressed on collective efforts in bringing the issue to right forum and assured the participants that the Confederation will leave no stone unturned to get justice.
Kalsotra further said Confederation always raised genuine issues of the masses and struggled for that also. “If educated youth give wholeheartedly support we will get backlog quota in J&K which is almost 1.04 lacs’’, he added.
The guest speaker, Dr Ramesh Kaith pointed out the need that struggle should continue till the deprived section gets justice which has been denied. He stressed the need that community should be ready for any sacrifice till the justice is done to them.
The other guest Dr. Saibir Pode of Baramulla highlighted the step mother attitude of the establishments so far as deprived people are concerned. He pointed to latest notification of JKSSB where the fee collected for application is so high that eligible, poor aspirants are unable to participate.
He also highlighted discriminatory attitude of JKSSB and JKPSC so far as age relaxation criteria is concerned. Everywhere in the country there is an age relaxation of five years only in J&K it is just three years.
Dr Sameer Choudhary State coordinator NSYF talked in detail about different departments and their staff strength and availability of posts under SC/ST/OBC categories.
The State president SC/ST/OBC Confederation in his concluding address said that the body is ready to take the issue to the national level if the demands are not met as assured within the time frame.
