Now it is turn of Paharis to get their right in Jammu and Kashmir”.Ĭoming down heavily on the Opposition in Jammu and Kashmir, Shah said earlier just three political families used to rule the erstwhile State, but now power is with 30,000 people who were elected to Panchayats and District Councils through fair elections. He alleged that those who ruled Jammu and Kashmir for 70 years “wanted to keep Paharis crushed and pushed their voice. The Home Minister said tribal reservation has become possible in Jammu and Kashmir only after abrogation of Articles 35-A and 370. The Home Minister said some people have tried to instigate the Gujjars and Bakerwals in the name of ST status being given to Paharis but the people have foiled their design. These recommendations have been received and soon after completion of legal procedure, Gujjars, Bakerwals and Paharis will get the reservation benefits,” he said.
“The Justice Sharma Commission has recommended that Paharis, Bakerwals and Gujjars should be included for ST quota benefits. He said the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 has paved the way for providing reservation benefits to the deprived sections of the society in Jammu and Kashmir. Shah said there will be no decline in ST quota of Gujjars and Bakerwals and Paharis and everyone will get their share.
