 Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 1: Alleging large scale malpractices, bungling, nepotism and corruption in the process of selections conducted by various recruitment agencies, including Service Selection Board and Public Service Commission for government jobs, scores of Panthers Party activists today staged protest demonstration at Exhibition ground.
According to press release, the protest led Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP and Yashpal Kundal State President Young Panthers.
While addressing the media Harsh Dev Singh pointed out that while the interviews for Class III and Class IV posts were abolished in rest of the country from January 1st this year, J&K Government remained non-chalant on the issue. They sought an immediate change in recruitment policy for state government jobs by abolition of the interview system and making selections on the basis of academic merit itself.
Singh said that though the BJP led govt. at the centre had announced abolition of interview for all non-gazetted posts but ironically the BJP partnered govt. in J&K issued a recent notification mandating oral test (interview) for all such services which was to be held after written test.
Yash Paul Kundal while seeking the abolition of interview process particularly for class III and Class IV posts said that this would ensure transparency in the selection process besides restoring the faith of unemployed youth in the system.
He said that there is no justification for holding interview for the class IV and ministerial staff posts and the provision of interview in such posts has only increased the scope for manipulation, maneuverability and corruption.
Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion included Rajesh Padgotra, Gagan Pratap, Sham Gorkha, Jagdev Singh, Adv. Parveen Kesar, Asha Rani, Mrs. Rita, Kailash Mohan, Aditya Hans, Parshotam Parihar, Sanju, Naresh, Khajoor Singh, Anshuman Sharma, Pankaj Sharma, Sukhvinder Ginny, Anil Rakwal, Ajit Kumar, Kewal Singh, Inderpal beside others. |
