Srinagar, Dec 27: The Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Pulwama constituency and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Waheed Ur Rehman Para on Saturday said the reservation policy has become an existential issue that strikes at the very foundation of the future of our younger generations.
In a post on X, Parra said it has been over a year “since we, along with students assembled outside the CM Omar Abdullah’s residence.”
“Unfortunately, during this entire period, there has been absolutely zero intent on the part of the govt towards resolving this issue, which has only compounded the uncertainty and anxiety shadowing our youth,” he wrote on X.
He said this sit-in is a reminder to the government of its obligation to act with transparency & revamp the existing draconian reservation policy.
“At the very least, the reservation report must be placed in the public domain,” the post reads.
“Further, if the elected government maintains that the matter presently rests with the Lieutenant Governor, there can still be no justification for withholding the report from public scrutiny,” it reads.
Parra said the responsibility, wherever it may lie must be acknowledged and institutions including the office of CM and LG cannot be isolated from public accountability.
