SRINAGAR, Dec 5: Chairman People’s Democratic Front (PDF) and former Minister Hakeem Muhammad Yaseen has demanded immediate reversing of the recent reservation policy in recruitments and admissions in Jammu and Kashmir observing that it has squeezed the general category to 40 percent and increased reservation for reserved categories to 60 percent.
In a statement, Hakeem Yaseen said that the reservation policy, introduced by Lieutenant Governor-led administration early this year, is a great injustice to the educated youth of J&K.
He urged all genuine aspirants, students, and concerned citizens to press the Government for relook of the reservation policy.
PDF Chairman has also demanded an immediate caste census in Jammu and Kashmir to create a transparent and equitable reservation policy based on the socio-economic realities of the region and to ensure fair justice to all categories of the society.
He said reservation policy was a most sensitive issue as it has a direct bearing on the future of the youth so it should be treated above the political and vote bank considerations.
