Appeals LG Sinha to revoke recent advisory
Srinagar : Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) on Wednesday urged the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to revoke the recent advisory regarding denying passport and employment clearance to youth allegedly involved in law and order, stone pelting cases.
In a statement, National spokesperson of JKSA, Nasir Khuehami urged Sinha not to create any impediments for the youth who were allegedly involved in stone pelting incidents as many of them are students or employed in different fields.
He said the need of the time is not to create any hassles in the path of thousands of Kashmiri youth, who are now employed or studying. “We need to welcome the transitions of these into the mainstream rather than punish them for turning into good paths. It will push the youth into further alienation,” he said.
“As the constitutional values of the country appreciate positive reformation, it is dire need that the recent circular of not providing government jobs or passport clearance to youth who were involved in law and order, stone pelting or any other crime prejudicial incidents, should not include those youth or students who have changed for good,” he said.
Khuehami said that for betterment of Kashmir, youth and student community are its pillars and “we have to value them.”
“There seems to be no wisdom in denying passport and jobs to those who have shunned such path for leading a peaceful life,” he added—(KNO)
