Transparency in recruitments: An open letter to J&K LG Manoj Sinha

Respected Sir,
I am writing this letter on the behalf of the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, who are caught between the devil and the deep sea. Your goodness is well aware of the fact the youth are the custodians of the past, present and the future. It is they who keep the legacy of a nation alive. The main motive behind writing this letter is that the youth of Jammu and Kashmir are traversing through the troubled waters of nepotism in which pessimism haunts them day in and day out. Sir, inconvenience caused is highly regretted that the youth toiled hard to see their future secure. However, they would not have imagined that time would come when scams after scams in written examinations don’t seem to go away. For many years, the youth of Jammu and Kashmir have been going through an unimaginable grind. Notifications are made public, exams take place but at the time of results, something fishy takes place and all goes in vain. Students are forced to knock on the doors of the courts and in this way, a chain of endless pain starts ,with no end in sight. Many lose hope and become depressed while some keep fighting in the hope that tomorrow may be better, though it is a mirage. Respected Sir, your highness knows it very well where frauds and scams lie. The culprits are roaming free. They don’t fear the law. Their highhandedness has snatched the peace and comfort of the deserving candidates. They take law in their hands. They sell papers and cut the throats of real candidates. In this situation, the doors of immorality are opened. Crimes begin to surface. Mental diseases rise their ugly heads.
“Outsourcing exams to the thieves doesn’t make any sense. Who are hand in glove with the scammers, must be shown the exit door. With each passing day, pressure is building up. The world economy is in shatters and its influence is felt here as well”.
Sir, in the hope of becoming extraordinary, they have become so ordinary that they are looked down upon. I want your goodness to weed out corruption and the corrupted officials from the departments who play with the lives of students. Hypocrisy must be shunned at the earliest and the practical steps must be taken. Outsourcing exams to the thieves doesn’t make any sense. Who are hand in glove with the scammers, must be shown the exit door. With each passing day, pressure is building up. The world economy is in shatters and its influence is felt here as well. However, in this atmosphere, instead of alleviating the sufferings of the youth, all, from bottom to top, are busy in greasing the palms of the influentials. At last, I hope your goodness will take some immediate steps in this regard and make written examinations for different posts corruption free. This is the need of the hour. Washing more time will have severe repercussions.
Yours faithfully
Syed Mustafa Ahmad
