Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Jan 12: A delegation led by Sunil Prajapati, president BJP OBC Morcha, J&K met Chief Secretary, Atal Dulloo and apprised him about the issues of OBCs.
Prajapati, informed the Chief Secretary that some of the OBC aspirants who have been selected as Sub Inspector/JE/BLW against the reserve vacancies of OBCs under Social Caste (OSC) category, advertised during 2021, are facing difficulties in their final selection as J&K Service Selection Board (J&K SSB) has objected that their OBC certificates cannot be considered for the posts reserved for OSC categories whereas, these OBC certificates of the aspirant candidates were considered by the J&K SSB at the initial stage and accordingly their selection examinations and other formalities completed for the reserve posts.
Sunil Prajapati requested the Chief Secretary that issue of OBC aspirants who have been selected and are in the merit against the reserve vacancies under Social Caste category may be considered favourably so that their future is not put at stake.
Prajapati, welcoming the decision of J&K UT Government for considering reservation for OBCs in Panchayats by amending the Panchayati Raj Act 1989, also extended gratitude to the Government and Lt Governor, Manoj Sinha for considering reservation for OBCs in Panchayat elections.
He also requested the Chief Secretary for considering the reservation for OBCs in Municipalities at the earliest.
Prajapati further requested the Chief Secretary that a large number of vacancies in various J&K Government Departments, which are likely to be advertised, may be kept withheld till OBC reservation, as approved by the Parliament is implemented in J&K so that justice is provided to the OBC category and the OBC aspirants get the due reservation as per population ratio, otherwise OBCs in J&K are granted 4% reservation under the Social Caste category, which is great injustice. Delegation accompanied by Raj Kumar Tarkhan (general secretary BJP OBC Morcha), Suresh Salgotra (vice president BJP OBC Morcha), Ashok Salgotra (district president Jammu OBC Morcha), Onkar Verma (mandal president OBC’ Morcha).
