JAMMU, Feb 12: Activists of Jammu Joint Students Federation today held a protest demonstration at GGM Science College Jammu demanding restoration of waiting list provision in recruitments.
The protest was led by Keshav Malhotra, District President JJSF. Holding placards in their hands, the JJSF activists assembled at main gate of the college and raised slogans demanding restoration of the waiting lists.
Addressing the media, Bharat Verma President of GGM Science College said that the decision of abrogation of waiting list provision in recruitment rules is against the youth of Jammu and Kashmir.
Keshav Malhotra said that provision of waiting list in recruitments is not new but it was already there in recruitment rules of 2010. “The Government took an arbitrary decision to abrogate Sub-rule (7) of rule 14, the provision for the waiting list. Abandoning the waiting list undermines the principle of meritocracy. The Government should reinstate the waiting list provision in recruitment rules to protect rights of legitimate candidates as soon as possible,” he said.
He urged the Lt Governor to address the issue and restore waiting list provision in recruitment as provided by all States and Union Territories as well as Government of India in recruitments.
Raghav Singh, President of JJSF SPMR College of Commerce, announced that JJSF was all prepared to lead a province level agitation for restoration of the waiting list if their demand is not conceded.
Others present during the protest, included Aryan Sharma, Ritik Verma, Manish Khullar, Samaksh Sharma, Vansh Sharma, Vansh Johal, Vishal Dogra, Karan Kumar, Akhil Sharma, Devinder Verma and Dishant Jamwal.
