WATSUPPTODAY.COM NEWS DESK | JAMMU

Pradesh Youth Congress Friday staged protest against the BJP led at the Centre for its alleged failure to revoke SRO-202 and said that the youth of Jammu and Kashmir are being taken for granted.
Led by Uday Bhanu Chib, the Youth Congress activists assembled near Congress Party Headquarters and raised slogans against the BJP led Government at the Centre.
Talking to reporters here, Chib said that in the new recruitment rules notified on June 4, 2020, the administration has incorporated SRO-202 clauses which are not only obsolete but brazenly, unconstitutional in nature. The five-year probation instead of two years with denial of increments is totally against the right to equality enjoyed by all other citizens across the country except for the residents of J&K.
Chib mentioned that the Chief Secretary J&K had framed a committee on February 27, 2020 to review SRO 202 but nothing has been come out that.
Chib asserted that the SRO 202 was formulated by the previous elected government under the constitution of erstwhile state of J&K, which presently stands revoked. The Government of India cannot have double standards for residents of J&K while the citizens in all others states enjoy equal rights under the constitution of the country. This contradiction needs to be alleviated, sooner the better,” he demanded.
Terming the J&K BJP leaders as mere puppets, Chib said that during the Sarore Plaza toll row J&K BJP President Ravinder Raina had also taken up the matter with the Union Minister for Surface Transport, Nitin Gadkari about establishment of toll plazas in Jammu region but nothing has been come out from this drama. He said BJP has got massive mandate from Jammu region during 2014 and 2019 elections but it (BJP) has been miserably failed to do justice with the people of Jammu region.
Chib said that a common man who finds it difficult to provide two times meal per day due to COVID-19 pandemic, are finding it difficult to pay such tolls. The government should find another way for collection of its revenue rather to impose this atrocity tax which is totally against the poor people as they has already bearing the burden of COVID-19 crisis, he said.
Chib said that with the establishment of Toll Plazas at Lakhanpur and near Akhnoor BJP itself has betrayed the mandate of Jammu region. He said earlier the BJP former Minister has dismantle the toll plaza installed at Sarore terming it was injustice with the people of Jammu but now how they will justify ourselves.
Youth Congress demanded immediate rollback of decision of establishment of forthcoming toll plazas at Lakhanpur and Akhnoor and the SRO 202 should be immediately abolished for the welfare of youth of Jammu and Kahsmir.
Chib asked J&K BJP leadership to clear its stand as they cannot take the youths as well as people of J&K for granted. BJP should clear that it’s the government of people of the country or for the businessmen? Questioned Chib.
