JAMMU, Oct 4: National Democratic Party Indian (NDPI) has taken a strong exception against discrimination with West Pak refugees and Valmiki Samaj.
Expressing his serious concern NDPI State president, Rajesh Gupta strongly criticized the J&K Government decision. He said,” the J&K Police in its recent recruitment drive has kept the State Subject mandatory for aspirants applying for posts of constables or Special Police Officer (SPOs) in the State”. Gupta further added,” where are the tall claims over the abrogation of Articles 35-A and 370 so that all sections of the society will get alike treatment, there has been no end to the woes of West Pak refugees and Valmiki Samaj as nothing has ended on ground for these hapless people fighting for justice over last 70 years.
NDPI Chief said,” Union Government claimed that with the abrogation of controversial Articles, the West Pak refugees as well as Valmiki Samaj will now get justice and they will be treated at par with other citizens of J&K as under the new law the State Subject has become obsolete”.
Rajesh Gupta said, these people especially the youth of the two communities felt so humiliated and distressed. Their joy was short lived as the claims of Union Government proved totally hollow for them with the issuance of recruitment notifications in the State police in which the State Subject has been kept one of the criteria for the candidates for posts of constables and SPOs.
Rajesh Gupta expressed his sympathies with the youth of West Pak refugees and Valmiki Samaj. He said, they are totally dejected after their forms have not been entertained at District Police Lines Jammu for the post of constable because they were West Pak refugees having no State Subject. The Government was claiming that the refugees have been given the rights but nothing has changed for them even after abrogation of 35-A or 370, he added.
