Srinagar, Oct 30 (PTI) PDP leader Waheed Para on Wednesday called for the scrapping of the reservation policy in Jammu and Kashmir, saying it can compromise the long-term quality and competence of institutions.
In a post on X, Para said the J&K PSC 2023 results had only 40 per cent of candidates selected on “open merit,” despite more than 70 per cent of the state population being in the unreserved category.
