State Bharatiya Janata Party held press conference on the decision of Supreme Court of India on holding of common entrance test for MBBS and BDS for whole of the country, including J&K state, both for governmental as also private colleges. State Chief Spokesperson Sunil Sethi alongwith State Spokesperson Balbir Ram Rattan stated in a press conference held in party Headquarters that the decision will ensure justice to the students of the state.
It was stated that in recent past there had been number of instances of pilferage and leaking of papers by Board of Professional Entrance Examination (BOPEE) and even criminal cases are pending against officials of BOPEE and beneficiaries.
Sunil Sethi said that stand of state has been vindicated for protecting interests of the students of J&K as Supreme Court has agreed with plea of State government of protecting interests of students of state by providing for reservations as per state laws for seats in the state.
He further noted that misinformation campaign started by National Conference and some separatist groups on this issue is only to flare trouble in valley during tourist season, is anti-people and the designs are well known to masses to fell prey to. Those wishing to befool people by raising these types of issues are in fact living in fool’s paradise.
Sunil Sethi and Balbir Ram Rattan said that having been left with no political issues and also being frustrated of being out of power Omar Abdullah is firing arrows in dark with the hope that it may hit some target at some point of time but this is absolutely misplaced.
The people are appreciative of the good work being done by the coalition government, which is working round the clock to deliver good governance to the people and it is infusing new confidence in the masses. The faith and confidence of people will translate in the performance of coalition partners in coming local bodies and Panchayat elections.
