JAMMU, May 2: To chalk out its future strategy in seeking justice for displaced unemployed youth and over-aged section of the community, who are the victims of terrorism and were totally ignored over these years by successive Governments, the Youth All India Kashmiri Samaj (YAIKS) organised a one day convention here, today under the leadership of its president and North India Coordinator of GKPD R K Bhat.
It resolved to launch a comprehensive struggle for the redressal of the demands of community youth.
The YAIKS, which is spearheading the struggle of displaced Pandits in general and for its youth in particular decided to fight the survival issues of the displaced youth vigorously so that every unemployed and overaged youth gets justice in a stipulated time frame.
The YAIKS president in his address said that his organization was quite optimistic that Narendra Modi led Central Government will take drastic steps in settling the issue of displaced Pandits from Valley, but unfortunately they too are adopting the policies of previous governments in this regard. Bhat asked the Government to start direct dialogue with YAIKS leadership, who are pioneer in reconnecting the displaced youth back to their land and origin, failing which they will be forced to launch agitation.
The convention appealed Lt. Governor, Manoj Sinha to take the cognizance of the issue of unemployed Left Over Candidates (LOC). YAIKS said whosoever is ready to work in Kashmir Valley under PM’s rehabilitation scheme, should be provide jobs as per their eligibility rather to merit. The Government should also sanction the quota against 25000 retired KP employees during the migration period of 32 years. GOI should reserve 3% to 5% jobs for displaced youth in Central Government departments and educational institutions. “We further appeal to Lt. Governor to resolve the long pending demand of over aged section of the community who are the first victim of displacement”.
The convention asked Lt. Governor to sanction 15000 more jobs and onetime special compensation for 15000 overaged youth of the community who could not take any benefit of PM,s rehabilitation scheme. “We further demand a special recruitment drive in State Police and in central sponsor security forces for those youth who couldn’t get higher education due to their displacement”.
