The 11-12% reservation for JK-UT OBC Masses is not acceptable to JK-UT OBC’s as their population is 42% at present keeping in view 32% as per census-1931.Implement 27% reservation in JK-UT Govt.services like in central Govt. Secondly 27% in Panchayats and in Municipal Corporations /Municipalities committees and 10% is not acceptable.

As The Modi Govt.has committed in the big rallies at Maulana Azad Stadium Jammu and at Hiranagar during the Assembly elections in 2014 of Jammu & Kashmir that JK-UT OBC masses will have 27% reservation as in the central Govt. after the Abrogation of Article-370.But the Hon’ble Prime Minister Sh.Narinder Modi Govt.is betraying from his promise which means to say that Sh.Modi makes only fake promises to only to win the elections.Sh.Modi remembers only Gujjar-Bakarwals and Phari-speaking peoples and give them both reservations i.e in JK-UT service and in Union Govt,services and secondly Political reservation. He forgot his promise with the JK-UT OBC masses of 27% reservation.

Sh.Kaka Manni,Working President of Udhampur District of O.B.C Adhikar Tiranga Yatra  said that  the Govt. of India should done the Caste census which was stopped after 1931 and in the caste census there should be a separate column for OBC’s.

 

    Sh.Naresh Kumar Verma,President of Reasi Unit  detailed that Jammu & Kashmir Govt.implemented EWS 10% reservation in JK-UT Govt.services  without sitting any commission and without calculating EWS (other than S/c,S/T and OBC) population  in implementing the 10%EWS (other than S/c,S/T and OBC) in JK-UT Govt.services only by saying that now Jammu & Kashmir is a UT and all central Laws are now directly applicable to Jammu & Kashmir.But for 27% reservation for JK-UT  OBC’s identified by  Mandal commission in JK-UT Govt.services the erstwhile Jammu & Kashmir Governments and the Present BJP Govt.made commissions and commissions since 1956 headed by Non-OBC Chairman & members who kept the Mandal commission  identified JK-UT OBC’s away from their fundamental  constitutional rights of 27% reservation.The Chairman   Justice G.D.Sharma  of Socially & Educationally Backward classes commission who has adopted the discriminatory behaviour towards OBC’s .Moreover he has attained the age of 92 years the Modi Govt.is extending his period for six month twicely who is working against the Mandal commission identified OBC castes and communities of Jammu & Kashmir.This commission should be disbanded as he is working against OBC’s.
