New Recruitment Rules for Class IV posts unjust: NSF

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, June 10: National Secular Forum (NSF) has opposed the new recruitment rules as unjust for local residents and prejudicial in nature and demanded its immediate rollback.
In a press statement, National Secular Forum (NSF) President Dr Vikas Sharma urged the Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor G C Murmu to withdraw discriminatory SRO-202 so that employees appointed after 2015 under this discriminatory SRO, are not placed at the disadvantageous position.
He said that the new recruitment rules for Class-IV jobs notified by the J&K Government are completely prejudicial in nature and should be rolled back and modified in accordance with the standard rules governing the recruitment processes across the country.
“In the new recruitment rules, the administration has incorporated SRO-202 clauses which are not only obsolete but brazenly unconstitutional in nature. The five-year probation instead of two years with denial of increments is totally against the right to equality enjoyed by all other citizens across the country except for the residents of J&K,” Dr Sharma said and cautioned the Government to refrain from testing the patience of the teeming unemployed of the UT.
