Srinagar: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) overnment, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is violating merit in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir24, the Modi government is systematically ignoring Kashmiri youth with serious violations of merit in government jobs, which is rapidly increasing anxiety and a sense of deprivation among the people of the occupied territory.
The results of the Joint Competitive Examination (CCE 2024) for Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Service, announced by the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission on March 13, have opened the floodgates of so-called “merit” claims. The data shows that the process is opaque and discriminatory, which critics are calling “merit apartheid.”
According to the details, only 34 out of 90 candidates selected for medical examination belong to the open merit category, while this category constitutes about 75 percent of the total population. About 80 percent of the selected candidates belong to the Hindu-majority Jammu region, while the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley is represented by only 20 percent. In total, only 17 candidates out of 90 are from the Kashmir Valley, which clearly reflects the discriminatory trend.
