allegations against Dy CM

JAMMU: A large-scale protest organized by the Yuva Rajput Sabha here against the mandatory inclusion of Urdu language in government exams and official processes.
The Tawi Bridge, a crucial route in Jammu, was blocked during the protest, causing disruptions in traffic and daily life.
The gathering includes several current and former leaders of the Sabha, all voicing strong objections to the policy that enforces Urdu as a compulsory paper.
Protesters argued that it is an injustice to Jammu’s youth, especially those from the Dogra community, who predominantly do not speak or study Urdu.
Addressing the media, YRS President Vikram Chib said, “For the past 12 years, these youth have been waiting for government jobs. Many are over 45 years old now. Two students have even committed suicide. Still, there is no justice from the administration.”
He also criticized Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary, whose recent statement sparked outrage. He accused him of political opportunism and being inactive when the controversial order was first issued.
He remarked, “When this order was passed, where were our elected leaders? Why didn’t they speak up then? Now they want to show concern when people are on the streets.”
Tensions flared in Jammu today as the Yuva Rajput Sabha (YRS) staged a massive protest, leveling serious allegations against Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary. The protest, initially organized against the compulsory inclusion of Urdu in the Naib Tehsildar recruitment process, took a sharp political turn when YRS leaders accused the Deputy CM of corruption.
According to YRS, Surinder Choudhary is allegedly collect monthly payments from local stone crusher owners, compromising public interest and violating the trust of the people of Jammu.

The Sabha claimed that while youth are struggling for jobs and justice, political leaders like Choudhary are busy exploiting the system for personal gain.
“This man sits in air-conditioned offices while the youth protest on the roads. He’s not only silent on our issues but also takes money from crusher mafias,” said one YRS leader.
The Sabha has demanded an immediate investigation into the corruption allegations and called for Choudhary’s resignation. They have warned of intensified protests if their demands are not met.
YRS reiterated that their fight is not political but a movement for justice, fairness, and equal opportunity for Jammu’s youth.
The Yuva Rajput Sabha has issued a one-week ultimatum to the government to withdraw the compulsory Urdu requirement and release the pending non-gazetted recruitment list under SO-495, which applies under Article 309 of the Indian Constitution. If their demands are not met, they have warned of intensified protests.
Protesters have also accused successive governments of discriminating against Jammu and the Dogra community, claiming that Jammu has historically been marginalized compared to the Kashmir region.
Sabha has demanded that the administration immediately revise the language-related requirement in the recruitment process, so that students from all regions get equal opportunity.
The Yuva Rajput Sabha ended the protest with a clear message, “This is not a political fight. This is about our rights, about justice for Jammu’s youth. We will not stop until we are heard.”
