JAMMU: On 9th June, 2025, JKSSB advertised a job notification for the recruitment of Naib Tehsildar. What makes this recruitment biased and unjust is the compulsion of the Urdu language in the selection process, which bars non-Urdu-knowing aspirants (60% approx.) from participation.

The imposition of the Urdu language in the selection process was a well-intentioned conspiracy to keep the Jammu region and some parts of Kashmir out of this job opportunity. He added that the according-to-Jammu-Kashmir official languages act has 5 languages, i.e., English, Hindi, Urdu, Kashmiri, Dogri ; whereas

From the very first day of this unjust and unconstitutional notification, BJYM strongly opposed this nefarious and malign NT recruitment policy of the Omar Abdullah-led NC government. BJYM Jammu Kashmir, led by Arun Prabhat, state president, held a press conference and gave a call to protest against this discriminatory recruitment policy across Jammu Kashmir, i.e., at each district headquarters.

BJYM Jammu Kashmir, under the leadership of Arun Prabhat, State President, held strong protests across all the districts of the Jammu region and gheraoed JKSSB headquarters in Jammu. Yet the government remained mum, depicting their ill intentions. Forecasting the sinister intent of the NC government, Youth approached the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) and ultimately got interim relief from the same.

Recently, the Omar Abdullah-led NC government issued an order for updating schedules 1 and 2 of the J&K revenue service recruitment rules of Jammu Kashmir revenue recruitment, in which the clause that makes the Urdu language compulsory for the recruitment of the Naib Tehsildar's exam has been expunged. This is the victory of the just over the unjust; this is the victory of youth's unbroken spirit of struggle against discrimination.

We would like to congratulate and thank all the youngsters, media houses, and well-wishers who supported and stood by us in this struggle. Vice Presidents including Abhishek Slathia, Priyanka Gupta, Luvdeval Sharma, Anant Khajuria & Ranjeet Singh, General Secretaries, were present along with District Presidents Shubam Manhas, Akshat Khajuria & Vatsal Bhan.
