JAMMU, 30.12.21: All India Confederation of SC ST OBC Organisations held a press conference at their office here in Jammu today to apprise the media about a circular issued by the Directorate of School Education, Kashmir which demands investigation against the entire SC community employees working in Kashmir. In this connection, a memorandum was submitted to honourable LG, Sh Manoj Sinha, Chief Secretary J&K, and Secretary to Govt, Directorate of School Education.
RK Kalsotra, State President Confederation, said that the circular is one of a kind that lodges a complaint not against a set of individuals but the entire SC Community employees. The atrocious part is that the government has launched an investigation itself against the community employees. He noted that the SC community used to face harassment and atrocities from the public but now it has started from the side of the government as well.
He further added that the nature of such a complaint is anonymous and not backed by any proof. Due to this, the SC employees are being harassed. Although a GAD circular issued by Central Vigilance Department notes that the administration should not entertain anonymous complaints, the departments here are acting otherwise.
He said we have stated in the memorandum to take action against the issuance of such order which puts the entire SC community at blame and demand suspension of the authority behind the order. If the demands aren’t met, physical protest would be organized soon to expose the administration.
Others who were present included Ram Lal, Bodh Raj, Mohinder Kumar, Madan Lal, Raj Kumar, & Karan Raja
