Altaf Bukhari blames govt for reducing employment opportunities by outsourcing jobs in J&K
Srinagar, July 3: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday blamed the government for further increasing unemployment by outsourcing jobs and undermining democracy and democratic institutions by centralising power in the hands of one man at the helm of the government. He made these remarks while addressing workers' conventions at Khanabal and Achabal in south Kashmir today. During his address at the events, Altaf Bukhari said, On the one hand, the government promised the youth employment opportunities, but on the other hand, they snatched away those very opportunities through the outsourcing of jobs. Instead of reducing unemployment, they have only made it worse. He further alleged that the government had failed to launch any employment-generating projects even after being in power for more than twenty months. They have not initiated a single project so far to generate employment opportunities for the youth, he said. Bukhari also accused the ruling National Conference of undermining democratic institutions by centralising authority after assuming office. In a democracy, elections are meant to empower the people. However, after coming to power, the National Conference concentrated authority in the hands of a single individual. This has weakened grassroots democracy and democratic institutions, he said. He further alleged that democratic values had been replaced by a culture of flattery. Today, we have the rule of flatterers rather than the rule of democratic principles. Apni Party will continue its struggle against such undemocratic practices and work to ensure that the benefits of democracy reach the people. We remain committed to strengthening grassroots democratic institutions and restoring power to the people, Bukhari added. He strongly criticised the government over what he described as its failure to provide effective governance and its inability to fulfil the promises it made during the election campaign. He said, he government has failed to deliver on the commitments it made to the people, who had given it a massive mandate after believing its assurances and election promises. He said, One of the promises the ruling NC made to the people during the 2024 election campaign was that it would restore the abrogated Article 370. Among its other promises was to provide one lakh jobs for unemployed youth, with an assurance that these jobs would be given soon after it assumes office. He added, Now, more than 20 months later, we hear that the government has outsourced thousands of jobs, which amounts to a grave injustice to unemployed youth. There is a long list of promises that the NC made only to lure voters and secure their votes, but those promises have remained unfulfilled. Addressing the Achabal gathering, Bukhari assured party workers that the Apni Party would soon launch a public outreach campaign in the area to strengthen its presence and expand its grassroots base. At Khanabal, he expressed gratitude to the party's workers for remaining steadfast and loyal through the party's ups and downs since its establishment. Urging people to get themselves rid of the traditional political parties, Bukhari said, What have these family-run parties given you, other than exploiting your mandate to build political empires for themselves? The people of South Kashmir entrusted all seven seats to the ruling NCCongress alliance, yet not a single representative from the region was considered worthy of a ministerial portfolio. This is how the leaders of these traditional parties reward the people and honour their mandate once they secure victory. He further said, The NC's victory in the elections was largely an accidental one, driven by the unique circumstances prevailing at the time. Many people believed the party would genuinely strive to restore the abrogated Article 370. They also trusted its promises of providing 200 units of free electricity, free gas cylinders, an additional ration quota, and several other welfare measures announced by NC leaders during their election campaign. But now this government stands completely exposed for its failure to provide effective governance and fulfill the promises it made to the people, he added. The party leaders who also addressed the workers' conventions held at Khanabal and Achabal included the party's General Secretary, Rafi Ahmad Mir; Additional General Secretary, Hilal Ahmad Shah; Chief Coordinator and District President of Kulgam, Abdul Majeed Padder; District President of Anantnag, Mufti Sarwar; and others. Besides these leaders, those who were present at both or either of the events included Provincial Secretary Kashmir, Nazir Ahmad Wani (Dilgami); Constituency In-charge, Anantnag West, Sheikh Muzaffar; Constituency In-charge, Shangus, M.K. Yogi; In-charge, Dooru, Bashir Ahmad Bragami; Hilal Ahmad Lone; Hafiza Jee; and others.

EOW chargesheet exposes a rotten recruitment culture The chargesheet filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) Kashmir in the Health Department recruitment scam is not just about four individuals allegedly gaming the system with forged degrees. It is an indictment of a recruitment culture that has, for far too long, allowed merit to be mocked and public faith to be abused. According to the Crime Branch, the accused managed to secure government appointments in the Health Department through fake and forged educational testimonials, slipping through a process supposedly overseen by the Services Selection Recruitment Board (SSRB). Their selections were later cancelled once the fraud came to light. That should worry every honest aspirant in Jammu and Kashmir: if forged documents can sail through a recruitment process until someone complains, what confidence can we have in the integrity of past or ongoing selections? Health is not an ordinary sector. When fraudsters occupy posts meant for qualified professionals, it is not just a matter of cheating the system; it is a direct attack on peoples lives. Every fake appointment means a deserving candidate was pushed out, and a crucial post was handed to someone who had no right, and perhaps no competence, to hold it. In a place already struggling with healthcare gaps, this is unforgivable. The EOWs move to file a chargesheet after a long-drawn investigation is welcome, but it also raises uncomfortable questions. How many such cases have gone undetected? How many forged certificates still lie buried in dusty recruitment files? How many jobs have been stolen from our youth who spent years preparing honestly for examinations? Cosmetic cancellations and routine advisories to the public to remain vigilant are not enough. The government must order a time-bound, independent audit of recruitments in sensitive departments like Health, Education and Social Welfare, starting with selections made over the last decade. Accountability cannot stop at the candidates alone; officials, board members and verifiers who failed or refused to detect blatant forgery must also face consequences. Unless the system is cleansed, case by case and file by file, every new recruitment drive will be greeted with suspicion and anger. For a generation of jobless youth already losing hope, this scandal is yet another reminder that in Jammu and Kashmir, the real test is not merit, but the ability of the system to protect it. That, not just one chargesheet, will decide whether public institutions can still be trusted.

Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Srinagar, BJP spokespersons Manzoor Bhat and Danish Bhat alleged that instead of ensuring transparent and regular recruitment, the government has handed over thousands of vacancies to private outsourcing agencies, thereby denying deserving candidates fair opportunities in public service. The party claimed that young aspirants spend years preparing for competitive examinations with the hope of securing stable government jobs, and that the move towards large-scale outsourcing has undermined their aspirations. The BJP urged the NC government to withdraw the outsourcing process and initiate a transparent, merit-based recruitment system for the advertised posts, reiterating its demand for accountability in public hiring practices.

Outsourcing is systematic privatisation of jobs: Sajad Lone
Slams PDP over brownie points on outsourcing issue Srinagar, June 26: J&K Peoples Conference president and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone on Friday said that the outsourcing of government jobs poses a far greater threat to employment in Jammu and Kashmir than backdoor appointments, accusing the National Conference (NC) government of converting public sector posts into privately managed positions. Lone said the ongoing debate over employment practices was being distorted for political gains, cautioning that mischaracterising outsourcing as backdoor appointments undermines the seriousness of the issue affecting thousands of young job-seekers. These are not backdoor appointments. These are outsourced government jobs, and the distinction is extremely important, he said, adding that the government itself had confirmed in the Assembly that around 25,000 posts had been outsourced. He described outsourcing as a systematic privatisation of public employment, arguing that it creates a structure where private agencies and the ruling establishment benefit at the cost of job security for ordinary youth. He warned that such a system makes employment unstable, with future governments free to change outsourcing agencies, leaving workers vulnerable. Lone also referred to the outsourcing of posts under Mission Vatsalya (formerly ICPS), saying he had originally helped establish the child protection framework during his tenure as Social Welfare Minister, including district-level protection mechanisms. He said that after 2019, the then administration had attempted to outsource ICPS appointments and terminate contractual workers, a move he had opposed. While court intervention stayed parts of the decision, he said several recruitments remained unresolved. Expressing disappointment, Lone said he had expected the elected government to reverse these decisions, but instead it had proceeded with outsourcing remaining ICPS posts. He criticised the governments responses in the Assembly as arrogant and evasive. Referring to the NCs poll promises, Lone said the party had pledged to create one lakh government jobs but had instead converted thousands of government posts into outsourced positions. He said he would soon release a detailed case study on the issue. He also urged the PDP not to confuse outsourcing with backdoor appointments for political convenience, saying such misrepresentation allows the NC to escape accountability.
