GBSA protests against inclusion of non-IIOJK residents in reserved posts at Jammu University
Jammu: The Gujjar-Bakerwal Students Alliance (GBSA) organized a protest at Jammu University in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, today, saying the institution is violating reservation rules in its recruitment process.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the protesters said that the university had allowed candidates from Indian states and union territories to apply for posts reserved for indigenous communities, which they claim breaches Supreme Court rulings.
The GBSA has expressed concerns that Jammu University’s recruitment practices are undermining the reservation system, particularly for Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Scheduled Castes (SC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to GBSA leaders, the university’s actions are in direct violation of constitutional provisions meant to protect the rights of local communities.
The GBSA President at Jammu University, Irfan Chaudhry, strongly criticized the university’s administration.
Speaking to the media, he said, “It is unconstitutional for Jammu University to sideline the reservation policy and discriminate against native tribal communities. The administration’s partiality is unacceptable and a direct violation of our constitutional rights.”
