Over 2.5 lac appointments made through backdoor by past regimes: CS

editor October 5, 2023

KUPWARA: In the Union Territory of J&K, over 2.50 lac employment were handed to undeserving individuals through backdoor ways, according to Chief Secretary Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta on Thursday. Speaking at a ceremony in Kupwara, north Kashmir, Chief Secretary Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta remarked, "I feel humiliated to say that over 2.50 lac undeserving persons had been offered government employment in J&K through illegal and backdoor tactics. He claimed that the current administration, which is being led by the lieutenant governor, is steadfast in its commitment to halt backdoor appointments and to give educated youth ways of earning a respectable living."Backdoor methods will not be used to provide employment. Poor children who were previously denied basic rights and employment would now have them, according to Mehta.He continued, "But I want to bring facts to the fore that 30,000 employment were offered to J&K youth in the previous three years. Some groups are circulating lies about the administration claiming it has ceased recruitment operations. He further stated that the days when government posts were awarded through nepotism and corruption and when the rights of the underprivileged were stolen were long behind. "Those who deserve government work will be accorded their rightful rights, while those who don't deserve should choose alternative sources of support. Going into business is preferable to working a daily wage job, Mehta concluded.

BJP using its ‘right hand’ ED as blackmailing tactic to intimidate opposition: Mehbooba

editor October 4, 2023

JAMMU: Mehbooba Mufti, the president of the PDP, charged the BJP-led central government on Wednesday with "using" the Enforcement Directorate against INDIA alliance leaders as a "blackmailing tactic" to scare the opposition. The Bihar caste survey, according to Mufti, is legitimate since it would demonstrate how greatly the underprivileged and disadvantaged have benefited in the past. "This (government) is a complete failure. The status of poverty has led to individuals ingesting poison. The ED has evolved into the BJP's right hand in this circumstance. In dealing with the opposition, it has failed. It is terrified of the alliance with INDIA.The Peoples Democratic Party leader claimed that it was utilizing the ED. She told reporters here: "This is a BJP blackmail ploy to scare the opposition. In connection with a money laundering investigation involving the Delhi excise policy, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a home raid on AAP MP Sanjay Singh on Wednesday morning. This is being done, she claimed, to distract the public's focus from the BJP government's failings across the board, especially in creating jobs, managing inflation, and protecting women's security. Mehbooba also made fun of the raids carried out on the news website NewsClick, claiming that they were carried out because "they are afraid of facing the truth." "This is the same procedure of their use of ED tactics," she continued. Mehbooba claimed that the caste census would demonstrate the historical benefits received by the underprivileged and uneducated.

ED raid underway at AAP MP Sanjay residence

editor October 4, 2023

NEW DELHI: Sanjay Singh, a Rajya Sabha member for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), is the subject of an ED raid at his home in relation to an excise policy issue. MP Sanjay Singh said in a letter to the Finance Secretary T V Somanathan earlier this month that the ED Director and Assistant Director purposefully and without justification connected his name to the suspected liquor scam, destroying his reputation and defaming him. Singh stated that statements made by Dinesh Arora led to the addition of his name. Singh further claimed that the officers' abuse of their authority damaged his reputation and called for their prosecution. He claimed to have already given the cops legal notice that they must publicly and openly apologise. In the ED charge sheet, the name of the AAP leader appears four times, four of which, according to ED sources, were entered incorrectly. Sanjay Singh's name was occasionally used in place of Rahul Singh, the then-excise commissioner. Additional information regarding the ED's alleged search of Sanjay Singh's home is needed.
