Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, June 7: Chairman Peoples Democratic Front (PDF), Hakeem Mohd Yaseen has demanded immediate revocation of SRO- 202, stating that this employment policy usurps the legitimate and constitutional employment rights of the educated unemployed youth.
He also flayed the new recruitment policy for  selection to Class- IV vacancies adding that it was totally against the interests of the unemployed youth of Jammu and Kashmir.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Hakeem Yaseen while demanding immediate revocation of the SRO-202, said that the SRO was in violation of the  fundamental and constitutional rights of the educated youth  about  “equal wages for equal work .” He said that all appointments under SRO -202 are  temporary  for   five years  probation adding that under the new employment policy,   new appointees would be given a  bare minimum of  scale of pay with no other incentives like annual increment, DA,  TA, CCA and HRA.
PDF chairman has flayed  the new recruitment rules and demanded to keep Government notification in, issued recently, in this regard in abeyance till the expert committee constituted for reviewing impact of the SRO-202 submits it’s final  report. “ What was the urgency of notifying new  recruitment rules  when there was already a high powered  expert committee in place to review  the  SRO-202, “ Yaseen questioned and said  that the SRO -202 and the new recruitment rules were totally against the interests of the educated youth of Jammu and Kashmir.
While demanding to revoke  SRO-202 and new recruitment rules without any delay, Yaseen has  cautioned the Government against taking anti-youth steps. He demanded to put on hold the new recruitment policy, till  restoration of the  statehood to Jammu and Kashmir,   as has been promised by the Prime Minister and Home Minister of the country  on the floor of the Indian parliament.
He said recruitment process should be put on hold till a popular Government is installed in Jammu and Kashmir. He alleged that notification of new recruitment rules speaks about the double standards of the present dispensation.
