Rajouri January, 26: All J&K Youth Federation (AJKYF) hails the decision of Sh. Satya Paul Malik, Governor of J&K State for giving 3% reservation to the Pahari Community in a meeting of its executive members held here today.
Mr. Nakul Sharma, Spokesperson, AJKYF and representative of Pahari Community welcomed the decision of Governor of State for giving 3% reservation to the Pahari Community of the state.
Mr. Sharma said that because of the remoteness and inaccessibility of the areas of their residence, the Pahari community has historically faced considerable economic distress leading to overall socio-economic backwardness. On one hand, they are not able to compete with other sections of the society who are better placed in terms of socio-economic position as also in terms of access to services like Education and Health Care due to above mentioned disadvantages. On the other hand, the Pahari People are not able to derive any benefit even at the lower rung in respect of getting employment.
Mr. Sharma demand enhance in the percentage of reservation to 5% and said that 3% reservation is not sufficient for approx 15 lack of pahari speaking community.
Mr. Sharma also demanded to include Gojjari language to the 8th schedule of Constitution of India.
Prominent among those who joined the statement were Fazal-ul-Haq Choudhary, Haroon Rashid, Amit Sharma, Shah Nawaz Khaki, Er. Ankit Sharma, Adv. S.S.Khajuria, Shatmanyu Sharma, Davinder Jasyal, Bilal Ahmed, Himanshu Sharma, Roman Manhas among others.

Only 3% reservation a lollypop for up coming election and hands raised by many for credit well being pahari activist I’m not satisfied for this decision and I also unwelcome to this decision …
I must say this decision only demoralized the pahari community because this 3% reservation is not sufficient for approx 15 lack pahari community according to 2011 census it should be 5% reservation as population increased .
Let me clear that Pahari peoples are not snatching any rights right of any community whatever they are demanding and will get as a matter of right under the Indian constitution.
This decision only weakens our community and make all set to use for upcoming assembly and parliament elections…
I appeal to pahari community this is not the moment of happiness this is the matter of great concern as we are on acute identity crisis.Raise your voice for this in adequacy of reservation ..
