PDP MLA warns of peaceful public movement if reservation report is not released

STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, JUNE 20 (STC):
Withholding of the subcommittee report on the rationalisation of reservation is a violation of democratic principles, said MLA Pulwama Waheed Ur Rehman Parra while criticising the government. He warned of a peaceful public movement across Jammu and Kashmir, if the report is not made public.
In a post on X, Parra said, “There is no room for secrecy in a democracy. Institutions must draw legitimacy from transparency, not concealment.” He stressed that the report directly impacts the future of the region’s youth and should be made public without delay.
He further argued that the Right to Information (RTI) Act mandates proactive disclosure by public authorities and urged the government to table the report in the legislative assembly. “The assembly is the House of the People, not a political party’s fiefdom,” Parra asserted.
He accused the National Conference (NC)-led government of abdicating its responsibility and warned that continued evasion would compel a peaceful public movement across Jammu and Kashmir.(STC)
