SRINAGAR, Feb 1: Jammu and Kashmir General Category Welfare Forum (JKGCWF) hails the land mark decision of Supreme Court wherein it has set aside the cruel and draconian law of reservation in promotions.
The organisation since long has been raising the issue in different fora as the reservation in any form kills the potential and murders the tallent and merit. 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 73rd republic day those “Ten years” have not yet come to an end.
The organisation in its menifesto reiterates that reservation hampers the progress and handicaps the economy as the meritorious people who could take the nation ahead and lift it to this sky don’t get the proper chance to show their worth and expose their tallent and if the meritorious ones are not given their due the days are not faraway when there will everywhere be a square peg in a round whole.
The JKGCWF strongly appeals the worthy Lieutenant Governor administration to maitain 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 Honrable Court decision of 9 Dec 2015.
The apex body Chairman Syed Shameem Ahmad welcoming 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 reachs 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.
