JAMMU, Mar 15: Jammu and Kashmir People’s Conference President Sajad lone on Saturday said that the whole reservation concept is rigged against the Kashmiri speaking population and against ST or EWS living in Kashmir.
Sajd said “Kashmir as region is far far behind. The net loss of quotas to Kashmiri speaking population is of a much higher scale than we had thought.” “The whole reservation concept is rigged against the Kashmiri speaking population and against ST or EWS living in Kashmir.” he said.
Sajad said “Even the ST population living in Kashmir is a net loser. They make up a meagre 15% of the total applicants from the ST pool.
RBA is almost same but when you adjust for population, against it is less. Kashmir population is approximately 7% more. And areas under RBA are almost same proportionately. Yet in number terms they are behind Jammu.
And lastly the Committe set up by government on 10/12/2024 to examine grievances has no specific timeline for submitting report. We were told it is 6 months timeline.”
