JAMMU, June 27: J&K National Panthers party (JKNPP) castigated the UT as well as Central Government for their continued favouring of terrorist and their Next of Kin (NoK) while totally ignoring the sacrifice of the Armed Forces martyrs and their NoK.
“All previous Governments in J&K favoured terrorists over patriotic Armed Forces and it seems that this has also been continued by the present UT Govt and the BJP Government in the Centre,” J&K secretary, JKNPP, Capt Anil Gour said.
Gour said that under SRO – 43, compassionate appointment is given to NoK of martyrs in the lowest rank of Non-Gazetted Service or Class IV only even though they may be qualified for a higher post. He regretted that this appointment too has to be availed within a period of 1 year while ex-gratia relief for martyred Armed Forces personnel of J&K is given only if they lay down their life within the UT.
“The NoK of terrorists have no such restrictions and can be appointed at any post as has been done by NC-Congress combine with Sayed Salahuddin’s children who were given Government Jobs,” he said and further expressed shock that scholarships to the 118 NoK of Martyrs is a merely Rs 250 each while 1600 NoK of terrorists get Rs 750 and Rs 12000.
