JAMMU, Dec 31: The leaders of Jammu Kashmir Reserved Categories Empowerment Alliance (JKRCEA) have shown great resentment regarding failure of LG J&K UT office to arrange a meeting of this biggest Social Organisation of reserved category with LG GC Murmu.
Addressing a press conference, they claimed that the request for meeting with the LG stands delivered to the office of LG since November 13, 2019 but probably the officials in LG office are doing some hanky-panky in the matter.
They further alleged that even the Chief Secretary of J&K since last more than one year has not given any time for meeting with the delegation of JKRCEA in spite of repeated requests to his office. Sensing the past experience with J&K bureaucracy, the leaders cautioned LG against misguiding and negative stand of upper caste KAS lobby of J&K when the question of constitutional rights of SC/ST/OBCs comes for discussion.
They said that few KAS officers manage their postings in the Civil Secretariat by manipulating system for their personal gains and for doing anti SC/ST/OBC activities. The previous as well as present Law Secretary and GAD Secretary misguided past and present Government in the matter of reservation in promotions for SC/STs. The leaders further said that they welcomed the constitution of 3 members committee to sort out issue of reservation in promotions headed by SWD Commissioner MK Dwivedi, but two members Achal Sethi Law Secretary and Sohail Noor Additional Secretary GAD tried to misguide him too. Probably, incomplete and anti SC/ST report has been submitted to higher ups, they added.
They requested LG GC Murmu to direct bureaucracy to be people and constitution friendly and do not display dictatorial and misguiding traits. The leaders went on threatening that if the constitutional rights for SC/ST/OBCs shall be floated like this, the reserved categories will have no option than to resort to peaceful agitation against these bureaucrats and dilly delaying tactics of the Government.
The press conference was addressed by Prof GL Thapa, Sham Lal Bassan, Bodh Raj Bhagat and others.
