UDHAMPUR, Oct 30: Retired and socio-religious people as well as women and youth wing of Jammu Kashmir Reserved Categories Empowerment Alliance (JKRCEA) in a joint press conference urged upon LG of JK UT to intervene and direct bureaucratic system of J&K to stop calculative atrocities on SC/ST employees.
They further urged the LG to take adequate steps to control caste and religion based unrest and atrocities which are on rise since last few years in J&K, taking the pattern of UP, Bihar and other parts of the country.
Vijay Bansalt, ex-president of Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Udhampur, said that bureaucrats led by Chief Secretary have totally sabotaged the issue of Reservation in Promotions’ in spite of it being protected through ‘J&K Reorganization Act 2019’ and extension of whole Constitution of India to J&K UT. He said they are neither implementing the Constitution as a whole in J&K UT nor are submitting objections in the Supreme Court for final disposal of the case.
Ram Rattan Drahi (ex-president, Shri Guru Nabha Dass Sabha Udhampur) said that harassment against employees and common man of SC/ST/OBC and religious minorities have become a day to day affair in J&K UT and it appears that the abrogation of Article 370 has caused more harm to these communities.
Ramesh Kumar (ex-president JKRCEA Udhampur) requested the LG Manoj Sinha to ensure immediate implementation of ‘Reservation in Promotions’ as the undue delay and willfully wrong tactics of bureaucracy led by Chief Secretary and Law Secretary has caused huge loss to SC/ST employees.
“If atrocities on SC/ST employees on official fronts are not stopped and if reservation in promotions is not restored these communities shall hold a ‘maharally’ in Jammu on 21st November and shall launch a movement of mass conversion,” he added.
