| Of NC’s hypocrisy and BJP’s dilemma | | New Recruitment Policy | |
Abodh Sharma
By shedding crocodile tears over the New Recruitment Policy of the BJP- PDP Coalition Government, the Ordinance of which was sent to the Governor, the National Conference has not only presented the most glaring example of political hypocrisy, but has also brazenly undermined the public opinion and objectivity.
One needs not scratch one’s head to recall that the NC-Congress Coalition had brought much cruder version of the Recruitment Policy that threatened to change the lives of the youth of the state and when several political and social organizations tried to challenge the draconian Recruitment Policy in the court of law, the NC led Coalition Government ensured that it thwarted any such move. It was only a few weeks before the last Assembly elections that NC realized that its hyped New Recruitment Policy had spelled doom for it and the youth of the state were ready to teach it a lesson, it shamefully repealed it in a bid to gain the lost ground; though it was too late for it by then.
In a memorandum presented to the Governor, a high level National Conference Delegation of National Conference led by senior leader and former Finance Minister Abdul Rahim Rahter, the party expressed its strong resentment to proposed promulgation of an Ordinance regarding New Recruitment Policy.
The National Conference termed the New Recruitment Policy as a ploy to politicise the process of recruitment in a sensitive state like Jammu and Kashmir, which has passed through a most testing time, especially since the past over two and half decades. It stated that the young and enterprising unemployed educated have all the reason to get disillusioned which has potential of alienating them further from the mainstream.
Meanwhile, eventhough present coalition government is yet to spell out several details of its version of New recruitment policy, sources divulge that there are voices of dissent within the state Cabinet itself as there is no clarity on the provisions of reservation in the recruitments under the policy. “A Minister representing the SC community who was elected from a reserved constituency in Jammu has expressed his concern over the lack of clarity with regards to reservations, but he has been told to desist from issuing any statements on the issue as of now” divulged an official in the department of Social Welfare. “Since Kashmir division has meager SC population, ambiguity on the issue has the potential to blow into huge controversy in Jammu region and BJP can ill afford it” he added.
