Srinagar, Jun 12: Sunil Sharma, Leader of Opposition (LoP) in J&K Legislative Assembly, called on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday. He was accompanied by Sat Sharma, President, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory.
Sunil Sharma sought the Lieutenant Governor’s intervention into the issue of Naib Tehsildar aspirants and requested him to make the Working Knowledge of Urdu language non-mandatory for Naib Tehsildar examination.
“Making working knowledge of one language mandatory, given the UT of J&K’s five official languages, violates the constitutional principles of equal opportunity and administrative impartiality,” he said. “It creates an unfair barrier, particularly disadvantaging aspirants from the Jammu Division.”
The senior BJP leaders requested the Lieutenant Governor for the translation of government documents and procedures into all the official languages of J&K UT.
