Srinagar, June 21 (KINS): Leader of Opposition and senior BJP leader Sunil Sharma on Sunday alleged that the National Conference government is legitimising the outsourcing system and backdoor appointments, asserting that government jobs should be filled through a transparent and merit-based recruitment process.
In a statement, the BJP said the outsourcing system has emerged as a major political flashpoint in Jammu and Kashmir, with government departments engaging manpower through private agencies instead of filling vacancies through regular recruitment channels.
The party alleged that the practice reduces opportunities for educated youth seeking government employment through competitive examinations and established recruitment agencies.
Clarifying its stand, the BJP said it is not opposed to employment generation but strongly objects to the government’s growing reliance on outsourcing arrangements.
“There should be a proper recruitment mechanism where educated youth get jobs on the basis of their ability and talent,” Sharma said.
He alleged that the National Conference government has made the outsourcing system and backdoor appointments appear legitimate, adding that deserving candidates should be selected through a fair and transparent process.
Sharma further said that government jobs must be filled through recognised recruitment bodies and competitive examinations to ensure equal opportunities for aspirants across Jammu and Kashmir.
Describing the issue as one that directly affects thousands of unemployed youth, he said the BJP would continue to raise the matter at every available forum and press for a transparent and equitable recruitment framework.(KINS)
