SRINAGAR, July 29: Jammu and Kashmir General Category Welfare Forum (JKGCWF) on Monday hailed Member Parliament Aga Syed Ruhulla for his bold speech against reservation policy.
The JKGCWF since long has been raising this issue at different forums as the reservation in any of its forms is detrimental to the potential and the merit of youth of the country.
It won’t be impertinent to mention that the forefathers of the nation had advocated the reservation for some economically weaker sections for just ten years but after celebrating the 75th Republic Day, those “Ten years” have not yet come to an end.
The organisation in its manifesto, reiterates that reservation hamper progress and handicaps the economy as the meritorious people who could take the nation ahead and lift it to the sky, don’t get the proper chance to show their worth and expose their talent and if the meritorious ones are not given their due the days are not far away when there will everywhere be a square peg in a round whole. The JKGCWF strongly appeals the worthy Lieutenant Governor administration to maintain the rule of merit, not only at the time of appointment but also in promotions, as has been put forth by the Honrable Supreme Court in its land mark decision upholding the earlier Honourable Court decision of 9 Dec 2015.
The apex body Chairman Syed Shameem Ahmad while hailing the decision requested the worthy Lieutenant Governor to kindly issue an order scraping the menace of reservation in promotions for ever and for all so that justice prevails, because the people availing the benefit in the name of SCs, STs, and OBCs live in the posh colonies of the cities, working on lucrative jobs and having all the luxuries available.
The Forum also demands that a fresh review committee may kindly be constituted who will examine into the policy of reservation prevalent in the UT and look into the discrepancies so that if reservation is inevitable, reaches to the proper person otherwise, economic assistance would be a proper thing for these weaker sections to bring them at par with other people and this menace of reservation should be done away with once for all so that merit prevails and nation progresses with leaps and bounds.
