JAMMU, May 30: Young Panthers (YPs) under the leadership of their senior vice-president, Pushvinder Singh Manhas and others senior leaders today staged a massive protest demonstration at Press Club, here in protest of State Bank of India’s alleged discriminatory recruitment notification for Clerical Assistants.
The leaders vociferously condemned the recruitment notification terming it discriminatory and racial based.
It is pertinent to mention that the SBI has issued a recruitment notification for the post of 5500 clerical assistants all across India. The notification contains a special recruitment drive for the State of Jammu and Kashmir under Chandigarh Circle which categorically mentioned that candidates belonging to the State (restricting to Kashmir Valley/Ladakh only) must be proficient in reading and speaking Kashmiri or Urdu language which would be tested during the course of interview of the candidates who qualify.
Young panthers resented the discrimination meted out to the youth of Jammu province and warned the NDA led Central Government to direct the recruiting authorities of SBI to revoke and re-publish the notification so that the youth of Jammu could also apply for the cited posts.
