Srinagar, Mar 15 (KNO): Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday clarified that the Cabinet Sub-Committee constituted to examine the complicated issue of reservations in recruitment has been given a 6-month deadline to complete its report. As per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the Chief Minister had to clear the air after the government in a written response in the J&K Assembly stated that "no specific timeline has been fixed for submitting the report" by the Cabinet Sub-Committee constituted to examine grievances regarding reservation rules.” The Chief Minister took to the X and wrote: “The timeline was set by me after I met with a concerned group of job aspirants. This timeline, however, was not in the initial order setting up the sub-committee. That oversight will be corrected but rest-assured the committee is working to complete its task in the set timeframe.” Earlier, Member Parliament Syed Agha Ruhullah Mehdi expressed shock at the government's reply in the assembly. “I hope this line saying “no specific timeline has been fixed for submitting the report” in the reply is some clerical error or some miscommunication between the department and the Chief Minister’s office@ CM J&K should clarify this” Ruhullah wrote on X, as per KNO. "If it is not, then it is a blatant lie and betrayal with the students who raised the issue with their elected government and showed faith and trust in the word and response given to them," he wrote further. “There can’t be a political catastrophe bigger than this when an elected government deceives its people. I didn’t speak on this matter after the students got the assurance from the CM last time because I was expecting the government to do its job in the given time as they had assured. But this response has shocked me. I will not sit quiet on this. I will pick the matter from where I left it after the assurance given to the students,” Ruhullah wrote. “I hope the government gives some clarity on this matter and assures us that this reply is a result of some mistake not a deliberate blatant lie,” he added—(KNO)
