Backdoor appointment of former Finance Minister and National Conference MP, Mohd Shafi Uri’s son in the J&K Sports Council and 35 others, evoked strong protest from the Opposition in the Upper House today, followed by the walk-out by the PDP member as Minister failed to convince on the issue and give satisfactory reply.
The issue in the House of Elders was raised by the PDP Member Murtaza Ahmed Khan during the Question Hour today. Minister In Charge, Youth Services and Sports, Technical and Medical Education, R S Chib was responding. The Government admitted on the floor of the House that 36 appointments were made since January 2009 till now, in the Youth Services and Sports and the Sports Council under different arrangements in the State.
Mr Chib in his reply said that Mohd Shafi Uri’s son Ovais Ahmed, resident of Gharllot in Uri (Baramulla), was appointed as Editor in the Sports Council on probation basis. He however, failed to define the meaning of ‘probation’ and give explanation of this category of arrangement made in the recruitment, despite being pressed repeatedly by PDP members. The PDP member Mr Khan further pressed that if any application was sought or the posts advertised in the Press, Radio or TV for these posts available and whether the posts were referred to the SSRB or any other recruiting agency. The Minister preferred to maintain silence over it due to unknown reasons. He however, kept on saying that proper procedure was adopted by making engagements.
In the first question Murtaza Khan asked whether any person/persons have been engaged in the Sports, Youth Services department or Sports Council, under different arrangements other than SSRB since January 2009, the reply of the Government was total self-contradictory as the Minister concerned said no adhoc, seasonal, casual, need basis employees had been employed/ engaged in the Youth Services and Sports. However, only one person Ameek Ahmed Khan, son of Mohd Khalil of Anantnag was engaged on need basis as Groundsman for a period of 89 days. No extension was granted to him thereafter. But 36 appointments have been made in the J&K State Sports Council since January 2009. One hundred eighty three vacancies of Class IV were available in the department of Youth Service and Sports and six in the Sports Council as on date.
