*JAC to support ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Jan 16: Socio religious groups, retired forum, youth and women wing of Joint Action Committee of Reserved Categories (JACRC) castigated both JKUT and Central Government for befooling SC/ST/OBCs of J&K on false promises of extending all the constitutional guarantees meant for their welfare in JKUT and in turn getting votes of these communities in elections.
Talking to media-persons senior leaders of JACRC said that after stealing their votes on false promises, they threw SC/ST/OBCs away like paper napkins and thereafter used SC/ST/OBC leaders in various Morchas as stooges to utter like parrots the false narratives/lies and propagandas of all-around development of SC/ST/OBCs.
They said that SC/ST/OBCs of J&K since 2015 are struggling hard to get extension of Mandal Commission Report to J&K, restoration of Reservation in Promotions, stopping official atrocities on employees of SC/ST/OBCs. But instead of solving these issue, the BJP led LG’s administration has diluted reservation for these communities in direct recruitments, diluted ST constitutional position, neglected proper action in the cases of atrocities on SCs post abrogation, started snatching government allotted land to these communities.
They said BC Commission was thrusted upon SC/ST/OBCs, J&K Delimitation Commission Report was also thrusted upon the people of J&K, outsiders have been encouraged to start their industry in J&K by allotment of land on nominal rates and ignoring J&K business community and so on. Even the visit of almost 300 MPs of various Parliamentary Committees, as claimed by the Government, was focused on Kashmir & Leh, thereby, ignoring Jammu Division totally and photo sessions superseded real groundwork assessments and interacting with the masses and ground zero leaders.
Elaborating on the plights of SC/ST/OBCs of J&K, the members said that on one hand J&K bureaucracy is hell bent upon damaging the welfare schemes meant for SC/ST/OBCs by way of defying Presidential order, Stay order, of Supreme Court of India in matter of Reservation in promotions and on the other hands, there is no practical evidence of political action of extension of all Constitutional provisions to J&K on ground. They further claimed that reserved categories shall support Rahul’s Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Prof GL Thapa said that after sabotaging reservation in promotions, Reservation in Direct Recruitments have also been attacked by starting the reservation roster points afresh on the plea of EWS & Pahari reservation, thereby, finishing piled up backlog vacancies of SCSTs.
Mohinder Bhagat, Prof Kali Dass, Sham Bassan, RC Bhasin, B A Choudhary and others also spoke on the occasion and projected the issues of reserved categories.
