Jammu, Dec. 4 -- Chief minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday said his government has rationalised the reservation policy in the "best possible manner" to ensure justice to all sections and fulfil a key poll promise. However, he refused to divulge details, saying the proposal has been forwarded to Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha for his approval, and it would be inappropriate to comment further until the file receives his consent. Talking to reporters after chairing the first cabinet meeting in Jammu since the resumption of the darbar move, an exercise under which the government functions for six months each in Srinagar during summer and in Jammu during winter. "There were 22 items of agenda, including the reservation policy. The issue was taken up but without signing minutes of the meeting and before sending it (file) to the LG, it would be inappropriate on my part to discuss it here. I will just say that we have tried to rationalise it as we have promised. We have also tried not to be unjust to anyone," the chief minister said. Reservation has become a major issue in Jammu and Kashmir following the Centre's decision to add more communities to the reserved category and expand quotas in the Union Territory (UT) over the past five years. There have been growing objections to the Centre's move to push the reservation quota to 70% in the UT, following last year's announcements introducing a separate 10% reservation for Paharis and other tribes and enhancing the OBC quota to 8%. "We discussed many things like construction of the new Kashmir House in Delhi's Dwarka, proposal of chief engineers in the roads and buildings department, and how to revive co-operative societies in a new way, besides the reservations," Abdullah said. On December 10 last year, the government had constituted a cabinet sub-committee to look into grievances raised by various sections of aspirants against the existing reservation policy in the UT. The sub-committee forwarded its report in October, and accordingly, the report and its review by the law department were completed. Abdullah justified the time taken, saying it was because "the issue is such that it is very easy to do politics with it". Asked about the J&K BJP delegation meeting Union health minister JP Nadda over the controversy related to MBBS admissions in the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence in Reasi and demanding reserving all seats for Hindu students, the chief minister said, "If you want to distribute seats on the basis of religion, then keep that place for minorities. We will invest the grant-in-aid that you get from the government somewhere else." "We have no objection. You pay the price of the land that was allotted there. Stop taking the grant-in-aid that you get. Change your status. Come as a minority institution. After that, if you want to distribute seats on the basis of religion, then do it; who can stop you? But till now, you have accepted the NEET and in the exam you only look at the ability and merit," he said. Peoples Conference president and legislator Handwara Sajad Lone on Wednesday asserted that the National Conference-led Jammu & Kashmir government is not only evading accountability on the reservations issue but is also actively aggravating internal fissures within Kashmiri society by shifting responsibility instead of addressing the core concerns. Lone said he would "reiterate that in the context of the reservations issue, the elected government is passing on the buck" and highlighted that those in power were "trying to create a wedge in the Kashmiri ranks and pit one Kashmiri against the other." He said that "the elected government can easily restore district and divisional recruitment through an act in the assembly."...
