Sir,
In J&K State, it is unfortunate for the State OBCs to be the State Subjects of this state. The sufferings of the OBCs in the country came down to some level in the free country, may be after the Apex Court’s Judgment of 1992 on Mandal report, but in J&K the misery continues.
During the Parliament election in 2008, Congress MP, Madan Lal Sharma before elections made promise to set up OBC Advisory and Development Board and for the state OBCs organized a programme at Muthi near his house. He won the election with flying colours and the setting up of the “State OBC Advisory and Development Board” came into its existence. But this Board too did not meet our demands.
The present President of the State unit of Congress assured many a times to fullfil the demands of due share of the State OBCs but all went in vain and proved his promises all false propanganda.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah promised to think over the proposed magic solution of the OBCs sufferings under Para 95 of the Apex Court’s Judgment of 1992 as this solution is already being implemented in case of handicaps and ex-servicemen by providing them the horizontal Reservation. But the result that surfaced was the “Census of the State OBCs”. Govt. is thinking of census after 22 years of Apex Court’s Judgment on Mandal report, but this is far away from the interests of the State OBCs.
State OBC Advisory and Development Board was set up on 15-02-2010 to ameliorate the sufferings of the State OBCs. But this board could convene only two meetings without any results in the past four years. This only means that this OBC Board instead of solving the OBC problems was set up to block the wheels of Justice for the State OBCs.
One more OBC institution called “State Commission for backward classes” has been fully converted into Backward Area Commission and what its chairman and members are doing is only to please the Govt.
So both OBC institutions in the State are either defunct or working against the State OBCs.
The successive Governments have so far marginalised this section of society by not conceding their genuine demands.
Yours etc…..
