JAMMU, July 24: National SC/ST/OBC Students and Youth Front (NSYF) extended its support to the upcoming ‘National Convention for Rights’ scheduled to be held at New Delhi on July 31.
It was declared after the meeting by NSYF wherein patron of NSYF and president of All India Confederation of SC/ST/OBC Organisations, RK Kalsotra and general secretary BL Bhardwaj participated.
The meeting was organised by Tarun Paroch, UT level coordinator of NSYF. While addressing the meeting, Kalsotra said, “Government is aiming to finish the Govt sector where educated youth are getting employment.”
“The Government deliberately privatized the profitable sectors where there is no provision of reservation for SC/ST/OBC educated youth. Already 80 lacs vacancies are not being filled by different department” said Kalsotra, adding that even Government run universities are not implementing reservation policy, while nearly 300 foreign universities are running in India and discharging high fees from the students.
The same situation is prevailing in Jammu and Kashmir. Against these moves of the Government, the Confederation is holding a National Convention in New Delhi to formulate a future strategy for the preservation of the rights of these communities.
He also appealed to the educated youth to participate in the National Convention going to be held in New Delhi. Tarun Paroch and BL Bhardwaj also spoke over the discriminatory attitude of the Govt towards reserved categories.
