J&K govt’s handling of reservation issue shattered students’ trust in system: PDP leader

SRINAGAR:  PDP leader Waheed Para said on Thursday that the Jammu and Kashmir government’s handling of the reservation issue has disillusioned students and shattered their trust in the system.

“Six months ago, the J&K government promised to resolve the reservation issue through a subcommittee report. That deadline has passed, leaving thousands of students heartbroken and disillusioned, their trust in the system shattered and their futures put on hold,” Para said in a longish post on X.

The opposition MLA from Pulwama said the National Conference (NC) government in the Union Territory has the power to strike down the BJP-imposed policy with a single administrative order, but the ruling party that had promised to reverse the BJP’s damage is now complicit in continuing it. PTI
