Jammu- Stating that Kashmiris are being pushed to the wall, Peoples Conference president Sajad Gani Lone on Monday said that unfair reservation policy is a post-dated cheque for disaster.
Speaking in the Assembly, Lone, who represents Handwara segment, said that ethnic Kashmiri-speaking population is being pushed to the wall.
“We have seen very less number of Kashmiris are qualifying competitive examinations. It is not that they are incompetent but they are being crowded out of the competitive space by virtue of reservations,” he said, citing figures of KAS selection in the past three years.
He said efforts are being made to establish social supremacy over Kashmiris through disempowerment.
He said the current reservation policy would have serious ramifications. “This is a post-dated cheque for disaster. We have just come out of conflict after 30 years. That script was written by our enemies and now this script is being written by us, “he said, adding that tribals of Kashmiris also not able to compete for reservations due to level of their backwardness.
He said the current government should correct the unfair reservation policy.(KNO)
