JAMMU, Aug 29: JKDF today dismissed the tall claims by the Government regarding the equal representation to all the three regions of the State and alleged that the people of Jammu are still being discriminated as Kashmiris are dominating each and every field.
Talking to reporters here today, Munish Khajuria district president JKDF Youth Wing alleged that in the recent advertisement by JKPSC regarding filling up the posts of lecturers in Jammu and Kashmir divisions, out of total 1129 posts, 700 posts were advertised for Kashmir Division and 429 posts for Jammu Division.
He sought an explanation from the Government that why the difference of 271 posts is there? There are 58 colleges in Kashmir Division and 57 Colleges in Jammu Division. Having only one college more than Jammu, why the Kashmir got 271 excess posts he asked?.
Khajuria, who was accompanied by Kapil Shastri a research Scholar in Department of Sanskrit, University of Jammu in the press conference said in case of Central University, Jammu was not given a fair deal and appointment of VC was also delayed.
He said delimitation has been banned up to 2026 as its implementation will give much weight to Jammu as far as population and Assembly constituencies are concerned.
He said despite this sort of regional bias against Jammu, the ruling leaders of both the Congress and that of National Conference still parrot that they are extending equal treatment to all the regions to ensure equal development of all the areas. Even the so called leaders of Jammu and Jammu based Cabinet Ministers who are holding important positions in the Coalition Government have failed to check the growing discrimination, he added.
