Relocate centers for J&K aspirants closer to their homes : Ruhullah Mehdi

New Delhi, Aug 2: National Conference MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi today spoke on a multitude of pressing issues affecting the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the Lok Sabha.

According to a press  release he began his speech by highlighting the urgent need for the relocation of NEET exam centers for J&K aspirants closer to their homes. The MP emphasised the challenges faced by these aspirants in traveling long distances at short notice, calling for a more considerate approach to their circumstances.

“The government should establish a robust policy for the regularisation of thousands of need-based, contractual, and daily wage employees who have been waiting for decades for their status to be formalized,” Mehdi said. He expressed dismay at the fact that many of these employees have exceeded the upper age limit, adding to their plight.

The NC MP also criticised the reduction in funds allocated for minority schemes, specifically the pre-metric scholarship for minorities in the financial year 2023-24. He condemned this significant cut in funding for minority education programs as a blatant act of injustice that the government must rectify immediately.
