JAMMU, Nov 29: Shiv Sena (SS) unit, J&K, criticized the J&K Bank authorities for not maintaining transparency in various selection lists released by the Bank.
Raj Singh, State secretary of the Sena J&K unit accompanied by Raju Salaria, president Shiv Sena unit Vijaypur at a press conference today said that the Governor has taken appreciable decision for the welfare of people of the State by brining the J&K Bank under RTI and declaring it an Public Sector Undertaking.
They said that the State Administrative Council (SAC) approved the proposal for treating the J-K Bank Limited as a PSU, bringing it under the purview of the Right to Information Act, the Chief Vigilance Commissioner guidelines and the State Legislature and we welcome this bold step of the SAC.
Raj Singh said that the decision is not only in the public interest but also progressive as well and would have a positive impact on the governance of the State owned Bank. It would bring the Bank under the scrutiny of the Legislature, which is very essential in a democracy, he added. He urged the Governor to create a mechanism so that the aspirants should know the recruitment process in a transparent manner.
Singh said those who have benefitted from the bank are opposing the decision of the SAC. He appealed to the Governor not to give in to the pressure being built by certain vested interests in the larger interest of the State. He also appealed to the Governor to order probe into the backdoor appointments made under the previous regime.
Singh said that thousands of appointments have been made under the tenure of BJP-PDP regime leading aside the deserving youth of the State. He appealed to the Governor not to spare such elements who are playing with the future of the youth and indulging in the corrupt practices.
