JAMMU, Dec 29: Lambasting Omar Abdullah led coalition for betraying every sections of the society in its five year tenure, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) today observed that educated youth are the worst victims of the wrong policies being propagated by the young Chief Minister.
Addressing a meeting of the prominent leaders of the youth and student wings of the party here today, patron of PDP Mufti Mohammad Sayeed said that all promises made by the National Conference during the last Assembly elections remained only on papers. “Instead of fulfilling the commitment which the NC had made with the people during Assembly elections, this Government has been deceiving the people by making false statements”, he said and dubbed the much touted employment and welfare policy as “cruel joke” with the educated unemployed youth of the State to befool the youth.
Mufti alleged that employment policy of the State Government has failed to yield any result. “During the last five years Government has brazenly auctioned Government jobs to deprive meritorious and deserving candidates and to adjust only undeserving candidates in lieu of money”, he said and pointed out that from MLCs to Class –IV employees everything is on sale under NC led coalition regime.
While pointing towards recent exposure of scam in Board for Professional Entrance Examination (BOPEE), Mufti rued that sanctity of every institutions- from Assembly to BOPEE, has been systematically eroded by corrupt and illegal means. He said it was result of the misdeeds of Omar Abdullah Government that people have lost faith on institutions.
He availed the opportunity to remind the youth leader that during PDP led Government recruitment process was institutionalized to ensure accountability and transparency. He mentioned that more than 80,000 Rehbar-e-Taleem (ReT) teachers were appointed. Similarly more than 40000 Anganwari workers were also appointed but not even a single case of favouritism and nepotism was highlighted.
Waheed-ur-Rehman Para, in charge of the party’s State youth wing, in his address, said that educated youth in the State have become victims of the rampant corruption in the State. Youth leader Jammu Sandeep Singh Wazir, Rajinder Manhas, Vikramman Singh, Mahesh and other representatives of youth and PDSU also spoke on the occasion.
