JAMMU, July 17: Stepping up attack against the administration of Central University of Jammu (CUJ) for its alleged failure to start construction work on the campus, National Secular Forum (NSF) today also demanded a CBI probe into all the recruitments made in the university.
Talking to media persons, NSF chairman for Jammu unit Ajaz Shah also criticized the working of Central University Vice-Chancellor and accused the CUJ administration of throwing all rules to the wind while absorbing their kith and kin in the university.
“The varsity has become a rehabilitation center for retired and corrupt officials who are being recruited in violation of norms, according to which the serving officials should not be above 65 years,” he said and alleged that the CUJ administration was ignoring the Jammu youth in jobs, which were being awarded to non-Jammuties thus playing with the emotions and sentiments of locals.
“The student community had presumed that CUJ would benefit them on account of providing jobs, but maximum of outsiders and retired officials are being rehabilitated by VC”, he said and appealed the people of the State to come forward and expose the corrupt persons in CUJ.
The NSF leader also appealed the HRD Minister to intervene into the matter and initiate a CBI probe, to unearth the illegal recruitment racket in CUJ.
Among those who were present in the press-conference included, Qayoom Malik, Vikram Madhyal, Narinder Singh, Rishikesh Rana, Altaf Mir, and Amit Sanotra.
