SRINAGAR, Jan 10: J&K National Conference (NC) on Saturday said the ruling BJP’s promise on ending soaring unemployment in J&K has failed in reality and the already existing employment avenues are being shut in J&K.
In a handout Additional General Secretary NC, Dr Sheikh Mustafa Kamal said the ruling BJP while scrapping the Articles 370 and 35-A had claimed that measures will be taken to increase employment prospects for the local youth but the reality on ground is completely different.
He claimed that the appalling situation J&K is reeling under is the direct consequence of the measures which were taken unilaterally by the ruling BJP on August 5, 2019.
“It was claimed by the BJP that the abrogation of the Articles will iron out all issues and put the region back on the track of development and prosperity but in reality the region has been plunged into an abyss of chaos and uncertainty,” Kamal claimed adding that the local administration has become slack and is not living up to its obligations.
He also said that lakhs of youth have lost their jobs due to the lockdowns and uncertainty in the region. “Thousands of daily-wagers, casual labourers, scheme workers and others have been denied wages for months together,” he maintained.
