JAMMU, June 13: Launching a scathing attack on the series of obnoxious dozes of discrimination being administered clandestinely to the Jammu region, Balwant Singh Mankotia, President JKNPP lambasted the recent preview of bias extending to the eligibility criteria for the B Ed admissions for the year 2015-16 vis-à-vis Jammu division in comparison to Kashmir division.
Talking to media-persons at party office here today, Mr Mankotia said that the duration of the B Ed course in the University of Kashmir and the Central University of Kashmir is one year for the session 2015-16 and the duration of the said course in the University of Jammu has been revised to two years vide University Council resolution No. 4.72.2 dated 15.04.14 and notification No. F.Acd/1/15/3964-4163 dated 08.06.15 for the session 2015-16, thus affecting the career of the teacher aspirants of Jammu region. Moreover, the eligibility criteria for the B Ed course in the University of Kashmir is Graduation in any discipline with 45% marks in General category and 40% marks in Reserved category as compared to Graduation in any discipline with 50% marks in General category and 45% marks in Reserved category as prescribed in the norms of University of Jammu.
The NPP leader said that the audacious scope of discrimination extending upon the said course has made a mockery of the students of Jammu division by adding salt on their wounds which had already been inflicted by the current State Government following the announcement of the weird Recruitment Policy. Mankotia further revealed that pall of gloom descended on the youth when the ruthless dispensation under the garb of new Recruitment Policy ordered a capricious and unwarranted termination of reportedly 62,000 temporary workers rendering their services on paltry monthly wages in various Govt Departments, Public Sector Undertakings, Boards and other autonomous bodies which include daily wagers, casual workers, Anganwari workers, need based and contingent besides consolidated and contractual employees by issuing a draconian Govt Order No. 384-GAD of 2015 dated 17.03.2015. He said that the incumbent employees proposed to be disengaged have been performing their duties for the last 10-20 yrs on meager wages and made the sacrificial lambs by the ruling alliance.
