Terms the move against political interests of the country, against career prospects of JK candidates

Srinagar, Sep 30 (KNS): Expressing solidarity with the  MBB students , agitating over  the JK Government's recent   decision to  participate in All India Quota ( AIQ)  for admission to  MBB and PG courses under NEET,  Chairman People's Democratic Front (PDF)  Hakeem Yaseen has said that the move would be   detrimental and   disadvantageous to the interests and career of  aspiring candidates of Jammu and Kashmir. He said Jammu and Kashmir being an socially and educationally backward area, its medical students have limited sources of education and scientific exposure.

In a statement issued on Thursday Hakeem Yaseen  said that  the decision of the government  to the pool  15% of its MBBS seats in All India Quota ( AIQ)  and  50% seat sharing for PG Medical courses under  NEET would jeopardize and badly impact  the future prospects and career  of the students of Jammu and Kashmir .

Hakeem Yaseen has urged the government to roll back its decision and reserve   all its seats for local students and opt out of AIQ. He said that participating in AIQ for MBB and PG seats would further choke the already scant employment avenues for JK youth, which was contrary to the tall claims of the Central and UT governments about providing ample job opportunities to the youth of Jammu and Kashmir. He said, beyond any doubt, participation in AIQ would certainly prove detrimental to the interests of JK youth.

PDF Chairman has asked the centre to   meet the urges and aspirations of the youth of Jammu and Kashmir which was imperative to remove prevailing alienation among them towards the mainstream.

Hakeem Yaseen has cautioned the Centre that participaiom in the AIQ for MBBS and MD courses, at this crucial juncture, would be against the overall socio- political interests of the country. (KNS)
