LoP Sunil Sharma accuses NC of discrimination against Jammu-born teachers in promotions and transfers

STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, OCTOBER 28 (STC): Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and MLA Sunil Sharma accused the National Conference (NC) government of discriminating against teachers from Jammu in promotions and transfers.
Sharma, who is Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, said teachers born in Jammu have been excluded in the promotions and transfers of teachers, masters, lecturers, and principals by the Education Department.
“Tell me, what fault does someone born in Jammu have? Because I was born in Jammu, I will not get promotion or transfer here based on merit,” Sharma said. He questioned why officials treat teachers from Jammu differently. “I rise in merit, but since I was born in Jammu, I will not get promotion. What crime has a Jammu teacher committed?” he added.
Sharma also accused the National Conference of corruption, saying, “Ration thieves, job thieves, salaried thieves, promise breakers, and election thieves are all part of the National Conference.”
He said that the situation reflects policies implemented by the PDP in the past. He said bills were introduced to regularize illegal encroachments with the aim of demographic change. “PDP has an anti-national mindset. They brought bills to glorify and regularize illegal encroachments,” he said.
Sharma said the PDP’s attempts were defeated in the Assembly and thanked officials who opposed the measures. He accused the National Conference of continuing policies that favored certain groups over others and said the issue raises questions about fairness and transparency in administrative decisions in the Education Department.
