Youth cheated, careers destroyed with a stroke of pen: Ankur Sharma

07-02-2022 : IkkJutt Jammu President Ankur Sharma today came out heavily on UT administration’s arbitrary and insensitive decision of withdrawing all job notifications issued prior to 31st October 2019.
In a press conference at Party headquarters Ankur Sharma, while addressing the media, said that this action of UT administration defies every logic, especially when the youth of newly formed UT were promised 50 thousand jobs at the time of reorganisation. Instead, this high headed administration has destroyed aspirations of lakhs of youth vying for government job in different departments from public services to security establishments.

Ankur Sharma shared that almost 1500 jobs were at different levels of recruitment process from written held to medical examination completed to under litigation but with some insane logic driving the youth policy of the UT, around 3 to 4 lakhs youth who had applied for these jobs stand cheated by the highest echelons of the government.

He further added that many of these youth have either exceeded their upper age limit or have let go other viable options as they were confident of getting through the qualification criteria.

On being asked about MoS PMO’s statement that Centre did not issue any directions towards withdrawing these posts, Ankur Sharma said, its a lame attempt of finding alibis and shifting responsibilities just like the previous governments which ruled J&K State for last seven decades and which seldom cared what New Delhi would think of their actions while crushing the hopes & dreams of their populace, especially the people of Jammu Province.

To another query, Ankur Sharma condemned brutal use of force by sleuths of Jammu Kashmir Police on peacefully agitating Border Battalion aspirants, especially the manhandling of girls by the force. He urged L-G Manoj Sinha to order inquiry into the incident so that guilty officers face the consequences.

Concluding his remarks, Ankur Sharma warned UT government of a massive civil and political backlash, in case this anti-youth, anti-Jammu ‘Tughlaqi Farmaan’ is not taken back at the earliest.

Among others present in press conference were General Secy Ashwani Sharma, Deepmala Dubey, Harish Kapoor, Ajay Singh Saini, Tilak Raina, Manik Jamwal and other office bearers of The Party.
