JAMMU, July 18: Senior BJP and Kashmiri Pandit (KP) leader Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo today said while LG Manoj Sinha’s assurances with regard to the displaced KP community are gratifying to be noted, the actions on ground by the administration and bureaucracy, are absolutely depressing.
He said on one hand, there are instructions to make sure that the dream of thousands of youth of KP displaced community turns into reality and all benefits are extended on priority to them, on the other hand there are attempts by a section of the administration to create a wedge between the Government and the displaced community. He said all this is being done to damage the image of the Modi-led Government at the Centre by the very people responsible in the administration to run the affairs of the Government.
Chrungoo was addressing a meeting of the recently selected candidates under the PM’s Employment Package at Jammu. He said, “After every interval, one or the other administrative order is issued to injure the interests of the displaced community to such an extent that the targeted sections are forced to come out to protest against such ‘frivolous and arbitrary orders’.
The candidates while raising their issue said that the recent order of GAD 586JK (GAD) of 2021 dated 07/07/2021 making S.O. 194 applicable to all those recruits who joined/are going to join on or after 17/06/2020, is completely arbitrary, full of contradictions and irrational and needs to be withdrawn and cancelled immediately.
The BJP said, “The order creates a ‘class within a class’ with a motive and design to discourage the recruits from joining their services in the Kashmir valley. It also puts a heavy burden on the shoulders of the new recruits who opt to go to the Kashmir valley under the package without any Government accommodation and the normal benefits available to the general recruits in J&K.”
Among others who attended the meeting were Vivek Saproo, Raghuraj, Pulkit, Ayush Pandita, Puneet Chrungoo and Mithilesh Gurtoo.
