JAMMU, Feb 21: Stepping up attack against the Central University of Jammu authorities, National Secular Forum (NSF) today urged the Governor, N N Vohra to order a high-level inquiry into alleged irregularities in recent advertisement by the varsity for various posts.
Addressing a press-conference here today, NSF president Dr Vikas Sharma criticized the style of working of Central University and alleged attempts by the CU authorities to absorb their kith and kin in the varsity.
While elaborating, he said that UGC guidelines have not been followed in the advertisement for posts in the CU, which has virtually become a rehabilitation center for retired and corrupt officials. “The varsity administration has violated the norms by recruiting the retired teachers and other staff members. As per the Central University Statutes, the serving officials should not be above 65 years but the administration has recruited some teachers who are above 65 years,” he said.
Alleging that the CUJ administration was ignoring the youth of Jammu region in jobs which were being awarded to non-Jammuties, the NSF leader threatened a protest in front of the University campus very soon.
Among those who accompanied Vikas Sharma in the press conference, included, Dr Shafqat Malik, Sukhdev Singh, Narinder Singh, and others.
