JAMMU, July 18: Alleging scam in JKSSB examination for Finance Accounts Assistant (FAA) posts, score of aspirants today assembled at Exhibition Ground Jammu and staged a protest demonstration demanding CBI enquiry into the examination.
Aspirants said that there are more than extra similarities in JKPSI scam and alleged FAA scam which needs to be investigated to bring out the truth. Many of the aspirants claimed that similar leads as were in JKPSI exam which hints of a scam in FAA exam also, have been given to the various agencies. They said that some people are trying to affect the ongoing enquiry of the FAA Exam which is unfair.
The protesting youngsters said they are with the genuine candidates but they should allow a transparent enquiry to complete and not to believe on the rumours. They said it should be investigated immediately who are the people behind them who spread this rumour and instigated them about scrapping of the examination. They said it seems that some black sheeps hiding behind the genuine candidates are trying to pressurize the Government, hence hindering the fair probe.
Aspirants further claim that it is not just 972 families but 1,33,237 families who need to be given justice as they all have paid fees for the transparent and fair examination. They appealed the other aspirants on protest to join them to demand capital punishment for all scammers.
They further said that even after the announcement of LG Manoj Sinha for recommending CBI probe in the JKPSI scam, no action has been initiated till now. They raised questions over the delay in registering an FIR and initiate action in JKPSI Scam. They appealed LG to let the Crime Branch and JKP to continue the investigation process until CBI joins.
Aspirants said that delay in action will lead to affecting evidence and pressurizing whistle blowers in this scam. They demanded time bound action on all involved in the scam so that a fair and transparent recruitment process can be done in future.
