JAMMU, Nov 13: Up in arms against alleged discrimination with Jammu Hindus, Yuva Rajput Sabha (YRS) today held a protest demonstration near statue of Maharaja Hari Singh, adjoining Tawi Bridge.
Shouting slogans, they raised their voice against the alleged discriminatory selection process of MBBS candidates in Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Medical College of Excellence.
Addressing the charged gathering, Sanjeev Singh Rinku, President YRS, came down heavily on the SMVD Medical College authorities for their biased approach in the MBBS selection list, wherein Hindu candidates were given almost negligible representation, despite the fact that the Institute has been built and maintained with donations and offerings from Hindu devotees from across the nation. He demanded immediate review and correction of the selection list, and warned that such selective victimization of Hindu youth will not be tolerated any longer.
Former Presidents of YRS, Vikram Singh Vicky, Rajan Singh Happy and Surinder Singh Gilli also addressed the protest, condemning the “discriminatory and politically motivated action against SDPO Gandhi Nagar, Sunil Jasrotia, who is being deliberately targeted, whereas the JKAS Officer who had manhandled the minibus driver and the wireless operator of SDPO Gandhi Nagar, continues to roam free without any punishment or departmental action.” They said this blatant double standard exposes the bias within the system, and demanded that strict disciplinary proceedings be initiated against the JKAS officer without any delay.
YRS leaders, including Adv Pushvinder Singh, Mohinder Singh, Ramesh Singh, Shamsher Singh, and Rajinder Singh (Core Committee Members) and other active members also actively participated in the protest, declaring full support to the cause.
The Sabha members warned the administration that if justice is not delivered immediately, and selective targeting of honest officers continues, YRS will intensify its agitation across Jammu region, and the Government alone will be responsible for the consequences.
