JAMMU, Jan 6: Voicing serious concern over the violation of the reservation act and rules of the Government at the hands of Government machineries itself, the leaders of Jammu Kashmir Reserved Categories Empowerment Alliance (JKRCEA) in a one day seminar on “Current Fiasco of Reservation Policy of J&K State”, have alleged that the reservation policy of J&K has been thrown to wind thus they have unanimously resolved to launch crusade for protection and restoration of their reservation rights.
The participants have expressed their serious anguish over the non-committal and dubious approach of the Coalition Government in meeting the various demands of reserved categories which, they said, resulted into ever worst conditions of reserved categories.
Dr Sanjay Bhasin, President of JKRCEA, presided over the seminar, whileas Dr Zabeer Ahmed Bajjar, General Secretary of JKRCEA, MR Bangotra, Chairman, SC/ST/OBC Retire Employees Forum, Roshan Din Choudhary, President, Jammu Kashmir Tribal United Forum and Prof Kali Dass, General Secretary, AIBCU were also present. The daylong seminar was also attended by legal luminaries, social activists, scholars and students.
Dr Bhasin while speaking said that the glaring anti-reservation act of the current dispensation is gross mishandling of issue of reservation in promotion which is justified by the fact that despite the blanket stay granted by the Apex Court in the case of reservation in promotion, the authorities at the helms of affairs of various departments of J&K Government have been making promotion in utter violation to the stay order. “Time and again, Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti, her Ministers, legislators and bureaucrats have been apprised about this issue of grave concern but unfortunately till date no heed has been paid by them”, lamented Dr Bhasin.
Dr Zabeer Ahmed Bajjar, General Secretary of JKRCEA said JKRCEA, which has now become a staunch movement of masses, has launched a crusade for the protection of constitutional rights of marginalized classes and this would soon attain a shape of permanent solution of their problems.
Roshan Din Choudhary, MR Bangotra, Prof Kali Dass, Tara Chand, Altaf Hussain, Afzal Shaheen, Pawan Bhagat, Prof GL Thappa and many others also spoke on the occasion. Brij Rana conducted the proceedings, whereas Khursheed-Ul-Islam present vote of thanks.
