After ET report, BJP admits its govt is anti-Jammu 11/29/2016 12:00:43 AM Early Times Report Jammu, Nov 28: The self-styled nationalist BJP- which claimed to be champion of Jammu's cause, has landed in embarrassing situation because party's spokesman has himself admitted that discrimination has meted out to Jammu region by PDP led coalition government in which BJP is equal partner. Straight forward spokesman of BJP, Prof Varinder Gupta today made this candid admission only after Early Times has published its story last week. By admitting that state government has discriminated Jammu region, BJP has made it clear that its ministers in the coalition have nothing to do with Jammu cause but their only and only aim is to further their own personal agenda. Prof. Virender Gupta has strongly criticized the discrimination being met to the people of Jammu region in the matter of selections made by State Public Service Commission (PSC) against various posts in the Health & Medical Education Department and in the Higher Education Department. In a statement issued here, Gupta said that out of total 123 selections in the year 2015 were made in the State Medical Department, whereas only 23 belong to Jammu region that constitutes merely 19% of the total posts of Consultants in Radiology, Medicine, Ophthalmology, ENT, Psychiatry, Anesthesiology, Orthopedics, Gynecology, Pathology and Pediatrics. He further added that in the same year 15 selections were made in the State Medical College (9 in Jammu Medical College and 5 in Srinagar) against the posts of lecturer out of which only 2 selected lecturers were from Jammu region which makes 13% of the total posts. Prof. Virender Gupta while drawing the attention of the state government towards the selections made in the Higher Education Department as Assistant Professors in the year 2016, said people of Jammu region are facing a worst kind of injustice and added that 9 candidates from Jammu region were selected against the 34 selections made (which is 26%); 7 candidates were selected against total of 26 in Physics discipline, which is 27%; 12 in Mathematics against total 25 selected, which is 48%. Prof. asked that steps need to be taken to address the deprivation of the people of Jammu region in matter of selections through PSC and suggested that candidates from a province be selected against the posts vacant in the province, i.e. candidates from Jammu Province be selected against the posts lying vacant in Jammu Province and candidates from Kashmir Province be selected against the vacant posts existing in Kashmir province.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
