Srinagar- Ruckus broke out in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Tuesday after BJP MLA from Doda West Shakti Parihar alleged regional discrimination in transfers in the education department.

Parihar claimed while transfers in the education department have been affected in Kashmir,“Jammu has been ignored”.

This led to a ruckus between the treasury and opposition benches.

Education Minister Sakina Ittoo said the BJP was“habitual of crying discrimination”.

“There is no discrimination,” she asserted.

Referring to the recruitments in the department, the minister said while 350 appointments were made in the Kashmir valley, 860 were made in the Jammu region.

“DPC (departmental promotional committees) is in process and will be done in due course. Transfers were started from Poonch and Rajouri districts, but it has been kept in abeyance due to objections,” Itoo added.
