    Will boost BJP’s prospects in Anantnag-Poonch seat

    JAMMU, JANUARY 19:–After missing two consecutive Parliament sessions last year, much awaited bill granting Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to Pahari Kabila, Paddari tribe and Koli & Gadda Brahmins is likely to be taken up for consideration and passing in last session of 17th Lok Sabha starting January 31 and scheduled to conclude on February 9 which could brighten prospects of the BJP on Anantnag-Poonch-Rajouri Parliamentary constituency.

    It was introduced in Lok Sabha in Monsoon session of the Parliament in July last year along with two other bills for nomination of two Kashmiri Pandits and one Pakistan occupied Jammu Kashmir (PoJK) refugee in the UT Assembly and grant of reservation to Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in Government jobs and educational institutions in Jammu and Kashmir. Last two bills were passed by the Parliament in its winter session in December while the ST status bill was not taken up.

    As per the officials, the bill is likely to be taken up for consideration and passing in last Parliament session of the present Government starting January 31. It will be a brief session with Central Government taking Vote-on-Account and will conclude on February 9.

    Both Central as well as J&K Governments have repeatedly made it clear that reservation of Gujjars and Bakerwals will not be affected while extending ST status to Paharis. Paharis are mostly settled in twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu region and Baramulla and Kupwara districts in Kashmir division.

    Paddari tribe is settled mainly in Paddar area of Kishtwar district which is one of the remotest areas in erstwhile Doda region while Koli & Gadda Brahmans are spread in different areas but their population is very small.

    Sources expressed confidence that the bill to amend Reservation Act in Parliament to grant ST status to Pahari Ethnic Tribe (Pahari Kabila), Paddari Tribe and Koli & Gadda Brahman could come up during last session of 17th Lok Sabha.

    “The Parliament has to take final call on grant of Scheduled Tribe status. However, since the BJP, which is pushing for ST status to Paharis and others enjoy majority in the Parliament, there will not be much problems for the Government to get the bill through,” they pointed out.
    There are a total of around 750 Castes categorized as Scheduled Tribes across the country.

    According to political observers, the grant of ST status to Paharis could boost the BJP prospects in Anantnag-Poonch-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat as this constituency has large population of Paharis. The BJP has been eyeing this seat besides Jammu and Udhampur which it won for two consecutive terms in 2014 and 2019.

    During his visit to Jammu and Kashmir from October 3-5, 2022, Union Minister for Home and Cooperation Amit Shah had announced that recommendations of Justice GD Sharma Panel have been received by the Government and that Gujjars, Bakerwals and Paharis will get the benefits but rights of no one will be diluted.

    The STs have 10 percent reservations in Jammu and Kashmir. Nine seats in 90-member Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir have been reserved for the STs. Five seats are reserved for STs in Jammu division and four in Kashmir.

    The STs enjoyed reservation in jobs, education etc, but they were denied political reservations in Jammu and Kashmir for a long time though such a reservation existed in Lok Sabha and Assemblies across the country. This was, however, after abrogation of special status of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019 that the Government extended political reservations to STs in J&K.(By Daily Excelsior)

    After calling the journalist was not allowed to go into the office ; Public service officials are flouting public service rules

    JAMMU JANUARY 18:–In the new era of the 21st century, where there are claims to improve and strengthen the aspects of the communication system, if you see, you will not believe that journalists are being disrespected by public servant officials in the Department of Information and Public Relations in Jammu and Kashmir The situation and spectacle has become so much that the journalist is ashamed to see the climate of the department.

    “I am very proud of the fact that I have not made any compromises for misleading or false reporting till date and I will not make any compromises till my last breath against the corruption going on in the government offices of the state of Jammu and Kashmir.Editor of Northern Times has said during he sent a report to the media for to publicize.”

    It is worth mentioning that today Northern Times Editor Ashok Raina was called by joint Director information headquarter Jammu by means of his cell one number yesterday during office hours today

    That for the purpose of redressing the complaints and grievances it is a pity that at around 1 o’clock in the office, when Northern Times editor Ashok Raina reached the entrance gate of the office, the security officers posted on the spot after make recognition the entry in the entry register did not allow him to enter the office and said that it is prohibited to go inside the office for any work until the relevant officers come personally to invite him.

    Many officials and people saw on the spot that how much the scenes of movie was played for the viewers, why after call did the Joint Headquarters, Jammu, ask the editor and make him wait in the park for several hours, and then refrained from picking up the editor’s phone

    It is true that before this incident, many other journalists had experience of similar incidents, but the editor of Northern Times himself became convinced today when the public service officer in the Department of Information and Public Relations paid for his inappropriate attention and discriminatory approach towards him

    . However, it is not necessary for a public servant to treat journalists with courtesy, but any citizen can come to the office and have the right to meet any claimant with any official posted in the office.

    Every citizen is entitled to it because any government office is the property of the people and the common man. Be it a journalist or a common man, a public servant official cannot prevent anyone from meeting and as far as reprisal of grievances is concerned, without facing the table they can never be done or sitting down.

    It is noteworthy that the Information and Public Relations Department of Jammu and Kashmir has forced a Kashmiri Pandit journalist who was displaced from his home to close down his publication by force, which is a shameful incident and what is freedom of speech? JDI headquarter alone can explain to the people of the state and will also be able to tell whether he could have expressed his willingness to sit on the table face to face to resolve all the complaints and problems of Northern Times editor Ashok Raina according to the Public Servant Rules or not. .
