Says state government institutionalizing corruption in various forms

Kupwara 31 October: Seeking immediate termination of all those retired
blue eyed bureaucrats and employees who have been reengaged by
successive state governments from time to time, AIP President Er.
Rasheed has asked Governor Mr. Satpal Malik to prove his words if he
means in bringing transparency in the system. In a statement issued
today Er. Rasheed said “It is high time for the Governor to
investigate all backdoor entries made during past ten years and
especially by almost every single minister in PDP, BJP government. The
records reveal that the ministers have violated all norms and
accommodated their blue eyed persons in various departments and if
Governor is sincere in giving justice to youth of the state he must
collect courage to probe every such appointment. Even SPOs were
engaged on political considerations and the racket became a money
making machine for the ministers and few police officers. While
unemployment is touching all time high should not the state government
answer what is the fun to reengage those Babus and Chamchas who had
been like mouth pieces of politicians thus managing their
reengagement after retirement”. Er. Rasheed reminded Governor that
the corruption and nepotism has more than one form. He said “May Mr.
Satpal Malik explain if announcing additional one month salary for
government employees who would perform election duties is not a moral
corruption and the fact is that state government has been
institutionalizing corruption by such shameful ways. Giving
incentives, promotions, rewards, perks and privileges in the name of
carrying out anti-militancy operations is the worst form of legalized
corruption”. Er. Rasheed asked Governor to probe and cancel all the
appointments made in the state legislative assembly and council since
2008 by violating all norms. Er. Rasheed offered his full support to
Mr. Satpal Malik if he sincerely wants to eradicate corruption from
the system but said that Governor has to restrain from mixing
governance with the burning political issue of J&K and he has to first
take some stern, direct and harsh decisions so that the genuine
purpose is served and masses see a ray of hope at the end of dark
tunnel.
