Jammu, June 26: National Secular Forum (NSF) today staged a demonstration against the PDP-BJP coalition Government and Jammu University authorities for adopting discriminatory approach against Jammu by enhancing the duration of B.Ed, M.Ed programme from one year to two year in JU.
Led by NSF general Secretary Narinder Singh, NSF activists raised slogans and question. The silence of the BJP, which is the main coalition partner in the ruling Mufti-led Government, over the issue.
Narinder Singh said that it was extremely shocking and equally ridiculous that the State Government has adopted different policies for educational institutions in the State. He ridiculed the decision of introducing two years B.Ed, M.Ed programme in Jammu University, while the Kashmir University is having unchanged one year programme of B.Ed and M.Ed courses. “How the two institutions headed by the same chancellor of a State could have different policies regarding the same course” he questioned.
He demanded immediate withdrawal of this discriminatory order in Jammu University and restore the course duration for B.Ed and M.Ed courses as it in Kashmir University.
Among those who were present in the protest included, Ajaz Shah, Vikram Madhyal, JB Singh, Zulfi Singh, Reshikesh Rana, Amit Sanotra, Jagdev Singh, Varun Kumar, Navjot Singh, Neeraj Kumar and others.
