NC, PDP ignored rights of Jammu people: Jitendra

Jammu, Nov 9 (UNI) Without naming the Kashmir region, Union Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) Jitendra Singh on Monday alleged that during their 40-year rule, both the National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party filled the Civil Secretariat with employees from a particular region, ignoring the rights of Jammu.
''It was during the National Conference and PDP rule of 40 years that the Civil Secretariat was systematically filled with employees from one particular region, ignoring the rights of Jammu.
''The Public Service Commission was manipulated to fill all the vacancies, including those in professional colleges and higher education teaching institutions in such a way that the candidates from Jammu were left out by design,'' Dr Singh here told reporters.
The Union Minister arrived here for BJP Election Committee meeting, to discuss probable candidates for the ensuing District Development Council (DDC) elections.
Further responding to the two days of continuous and intense sympathising with Jammu by the NC and PDP leaders, Dr Singh said they were bemoaning Jammu's misery, for which they were themselves responsible.
The plight of Jammu was an outcome of regional discrimination and injustice meted out to Jammu during over four decades of rule by these two parties, he added.
As the Minister for Department of Personnel and Training (DOPT), Dr Singh asked, when the orders for abolition of interview in selection to government jobs were issued across the country on January 1, 2016, what was it that prevented the PDP Government in Jammu and Kashmir from implementing this rule in spite of repeated reminders, including personal letters written by him to the then Chief Minister.
This, he alleged, was done intentionally to eliminate the written test merit of Jammu candidates for various jobs by giving them poor marks in interview and denying them the selection.
Referring to the crocodile tears being shed by the two parties over the daily wagers, who, according to them, were on roads, Dr Singh said the question to be asked is, who was responsible for bringing them on the road.
He said it is a commonly known fact that the Ministers in the successive governments had doled out jobs for cash and bluffed the innocent youth by temporarily appointing them through the back door with the false assurance that they would automatically become permanent.
''If these governments were so sincere, why did they not regularise these employees during their tenure. It was because they were aware that this would invite litigation and also anger from the unemployed youth, who were waiting for regular jobs through the normal selection process”, he added.
''The Modi government is committed to redress each issue one-by-one, but let us not forget that this is a baggage of the last 70 years and will require at least 70 months to be cleared,'' he added.
