‘Government deceiving people’

The Hyderabad Karnataka Horata Samiti has accused the State government of deceiving people by not implementing the notification ensuring reservation in employment and education under Article 371 (J).

Addressing a joint press conference here on Saturday, Razak Ustad, vice-president of the Central unit, S. Pannaraj and T.G. Vittal, president and vice-president of the district unit respectively, criticised the government for going ahead with recruitment in various government departments and depriving job opportunities to the youth in Hyderabad Karnataka region.

“The government has been unfair to the Hyderabad Karnataka region. The government not implementing the notification providing reservation for those in the Hyderabad Karnataka region, has come as a shock to us,” Mr. Razak said. Citing examples, Mr. Pannaraj said the recruitment process in several government-run institutions including Visvesvaraya Technological University, Karnataka Milk Federation, and the Department of Health were underway.

He demanded that the notification for recruitment already issued be withdrawn and the recruitment be annulled.

In addition, fresh notification should be issued with seats reserved for the Hyderabad Karnataka region, he said.

Mr. Razak alleged that the officials, particularly from the southern region, were not keen on extending the benefits of Article 371 (J) to the Hyderabad Karnataka region. The government had already opened a separate cell to monitor the extension of benefits under Article 371 (J), but the region is being deprived of the the benefits.
