'Protest outside LG’s Office': Sakina Itoo dares MP Ruhullah over reservation issue
Srinagar, Dec 26: The Minister for Education, Jammu and Kashmir, Sakina Itoo on Friday accused the MP Aga Ruhullah of misleading the educated unemployed youth with his statements.
In an exclusive conversation with Greater Kashmir, Education Minister Sakina Itoo said the government has already passed the decision on reservation issue in the last cabinet meeting and the proposal has been submitted to the J&K Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha for his approval.
“We are running our government in the UT and we cannot make every cabinet decision public prior to approval of the Lieutenant Governor,” she told Greater Kashmir.
Earlier, MP Ruhullah in a post on X asked the government to apprise the students of measures and decisions taken on reservation.
“I have neither forgotten nor left the students alone. I urge the government once again to talk to the students and apprise them of the measures and decisions taken to resolve this issue,” Ruhullla said in a post on X.
“If that does not happen till Saturday, I will not leave our youth and students helpless. I will walk with them and sit with them on coming Sunday at the same place as we did the last year on 23rd December to make them heard,” the post reads.
Reacting to his statement, Sakina Itoo said the National Conference MP was playing politics over the issue.
“Our youth are already perturbed. Such misleading statements of Ruhullah add to their misery,” Sakina Itoo said.
She asked Ruhullah to stage protest outside LG’s office and seek answers from him.
“If he is really sincere then let him protest outside LG’s office. But we know he cannot do it and just to play politics he wants to protest outside the CM's office which serves no purpose,” said Itoo.
She said the government has done its job as the report of the sub-committee was submitted to the cabinet and was later sent to LG for approval.
“We cannot reveal anything unless it is approved by the LG. I urge our youth not to fall prey to these misleading statements because our government has fulfilled its commitment,” she said.
