Government failed to ensure punishment to real culprits of paper leak scam: YAC
Jammu, 01 February: Massive protest was held today by Youth Against Corruption (YAC) at Press Club Jammu against Jammu Kashmir Service Selection Board for conducting the crucial recruitment exams through a blacklisted company. Hundreds of volunteers from different districts of Jammu and Kashmir gathered to show their resentment against JKSSB and LG administration for their failure to maintain transparency in the public recruitments.
While addressing the media YAC Volunteers said that JKSSB has learnt nothing from its prior frauds which again hired a blacklisted company which is indulged in malpractices over more than 10 recruitment exams conducted in various states. He said we approached JKSSB to not lend our recruitments in the hands of a private tainted firm but they unheard our plea. He said when aspirants approached the High Court and historical judgement was passed in our favour against the company, the whole JKUT Administration went to the Double Bench to bring a stay on the judgement. He alleged that JKUT Administration instead of standing with youth they protected a tainted firm. He further said that once again in upcoming days of this month JKSSB is going to conduct exams of Fisheries Department, Election Assistant, Labour Officer, Assistant Law Officer, Patwari, MVI, Drivers etc. though this blacklisted company because of which youth has lost the faith over JKSSB and JKUT Administration.
Kartik Bhagat speaking to the media persons, aspirants raised several questions on the integrity of JKUT Administration and CBI. He said last year when we were on roads raising our voice against exam scams, Manoj Sinha, Lieutenant Governor assured that no culprit will be spared and strict action will be taken on those involved in ruining the career of more than 2 lakh aspirants. But till date both JKUT Administration and CBI failed to ensure justice with all aspirants. He said major culprits including those from JKSSB, Meri Trac, some influential officers and politicians who were involved in the scam were set free by the agency. He warned that if needed, aspirants will approach court seeking reinvestigation of the whole matter as many accused against whom there was sufficient evidence were set free.
Sushil Kumar further said that the answer key which was supposed to be released on 30th December as per notification of JKSSB went viral on Whatsapp on 28th of December. He said that if we study the previous pattern of paper leak by this tainted firm they have repeated the same instance. Because the answer key of CBT Exams is made along with the question paper and there is every possible chance that the answer key was leaked to those who paid a hefty amount for the paper. He alleged that there are high chances the paper was again leaked and aspirants are having many inputs regarding the same.
Vinkal Sharma and Atul Sudan speaking during the protest demanded an end to the role of tainted private companies in government recruitment. They further demanded to investigate which officials and under which conditions the tender was again awarded to the Blacklisted Company even after knowing that it is involved in such malpractices many times. They further seek clarification from LG Administration about what compels them to conduct crucial exams through a black listed private company. They demanded from Lieutenant Manoj Sinha to fulfil his promise of ensuring strict punishment to all those involved in the paper leak scams irrespective of their posts and influence.
Those who lead the protest in all districts are Rohit, Ronak, Sakshar, Moin, Nasir, Ramneek, Rajat, Ajay, Aditya, Manik, Aquib, Najeem, Shaqib, Shariq, Tahir, Sahil, Keshav, Abhishek, Rohit, Vishal, Rakesh, Anil, Nadeem, Ricky, Arun, Pankaj, Asif, Arif, Nadeem, Sahil, Nisar, Omar etc.
