JAMMU, June 9: Charging administration of the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir with pursuing anti-youth policy, senior Congress leader and former Pradesh Youth Congress president, Pranav Shagotra today warned that youth of J&K will oppose such policies tooth and nail.
In a statement issued here today, Shagotra regretted that the situation in J&K was worsening with every passing day and those at the helm of the affairs, appeared to be non-serious in solving compounding woes of the people.
“J&K has been plunged into unprecedented crisis due to prevailing chaos and anarchy”, he said and regretted that the common masses in J&K have been abandoned by the ruling elites.
Regretting that UT administration has done nothing to solve problems of youth, Ex-PYC president said that new recruitment rules were nothing but a cruel joke with the educated unemployed youth of J&K, who were hoping that the new dispensation will take some effective steps to minimize their problems.
Congress leader demanded modification in the recruitment rules and repealing of discriminatory SRO-202, which is anti-youth. He regretted that the youth of J&K have been agitating against SRO-202 but authorities are still in a deep slumber.
He made it clear that the recruitment notification issued by the Government on June 4 has dashed all hopes of the educated unemployed youth. He recalled that after August 5, 2019, the Government has been claiming to create 50,000 new jobs but only a few posts have been created by the authorities so far. He made it clear that without repealing SRO-202, recruitment is nothing but a cruel joke with youth. Seeking the withdrawal of the SRO-202 and modification of new rules, he warned the Government against testing the patience of the unemployed youth of the J&K UT.
