Jammu, Feb 16: National Conference (NC) President Farooq Abdullah Wednesday said that the youth of J&K deserve the protection of their employment rights and identity.
Addressing Youth National Conference (YNC) functionaries at his Jammu residence, he said that the youth were active change-makers, future influencers, and important stakeholders of the future of J&K.
“The new domicile rules, outsourcing of jobs and contracts, withdrawing of already advertised posts, lingering regularisation of contractual employees, snail’s pace of recruitment by JKSSB and PSC, and inequitable termination policy have embroiled our educated and skilled with a plethora of anxieties. The plight of my Dogra youth, Pahari youth, Gujjar youth is no different from their Kashmiri counterparts. Job insecurity and diminishing employment avenues concern the last educated young boy or girl living in Gurez as it concerns their counterparts in Doda, Bandipora, Rajouri, and Samba,” Abdullah said.
