JAMMU, Aug 17: All India Backward Classes Union (AIBCU) held a virtual meeting under the chairmanship of its president, Abdul Majid Malik, today. It strongly opposed the proposal of the chairman GD Sharma of socially and educationally backward classes of JK- UT seeking an extension of the Commission for more than six months.
It was stated that Commission was set up in March 2020 for a specific period to submit it’s report but it failed and got extensions after extension.
The report so submitted was a deliberate act to create confusion among the categories and in every category, attempts were made to add general category people like West Pakistani refugees in the OBC category and likewise in the ST category entry of general category people on the name of Pahari Tribals.
The meeting said this proposal for seeking more extension for six months has raised questions that what Commission was doing for the past more than three years after the completion of such a long tenure of the Commission. The meeting alleged that the Government was befooling people since independence as there were only committees and commissions in Jammu and Kashmir and present Commission has also become a part of those committees and commissions.
Participants in the meeting said the Commission could not serve the purpose for which it was constituted.
OBCs of JK- UT must rethink to come out from Morchas (they are not even the basic members of the party). Their presence in the Morchas has damaged the OBCs much and Morcha people would be held responsible for such a loss later on.
Besides, OBCs are appealed to remain vigilant and united to defeat to those who have been the looters of their rights in J& K.
Those who participated included Ashiq Hussain Hajam, Abdul Rashid Fouji, Sandokh Chand, Jagdish Raj Verma, Nadan Lal, Gurmeet Singh, Master Sain Dass, Prof Kali Dass and many others.
