JAMMU, Mar 5: If our youth’s future is in murk and the credibility of many different competitive examinations is on stake, it is the Government which is surely and purely responsible.
This was stated by general secretary and spokesperson of Aam Adami Party (AAP) J&K, Partap Singh Jamwal, who lambasted the J&K Government while pointing its latest order over the selection of Aptech company for conducting Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) exams.
While condemning the move, he said that the selection of the Aptech company is a violation of rules and regulations and it is a matter of concern for the youth of J&K. He questioned the UT Government directly and asked that how come a company could be considered to conduct the different examinations usually held under the control of SSB which is already blacklisted in many states and has been fined also by the Supreme Court of this country.
He pointed out that the Aptech has failed in the past to ensure transparency and accountability in holding such exercises, due to which many states have banned it. He further added that the Government has already scrapped many recruitment processes on the grounds of doubts and allegations. Now, if Aptech is holding the exams for JKSSB, there is a chance that it might get scrapped again since it has a poor transparency record. Therefore, before anything goes wrong, the Government must reconsider its decision and choose a better option.
Jamwal urged that the Government must show some ethics and it must learn from the past experiences. If such kind of blacklisted companies will be appointed to conduct the examinations which will decide the future of unemployment in the state then we must comprehend that it was the Government itself which is entirely responsible for the corruption, he added.
