Open Letter to Omar Abdullah, Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir

Dear Chief Minister Omar Abdullah,

We, the undersigned candidates for the Assistant Professor positions at the University of Kashmir, write to you with an urgent request for your intervention regarding the upcoming interviews scheduled between November 11 and November 14, 2024. We appeal for an immediate halt to this process due to significant concerns surrounding fairness and transparency.

As you are aware, the recruitment division of Kashmir University has hastily organized these interviews at a time when the Vice-Chancellor’s tenure is approaching its conclusion. We believe it is both unethical and potentially unlawful to conduct interviews under such circumstances. Historically, no Vice-Chancellor has conducted interviews during the final days of their term, and we are apprehensive that this expedited timeline may favor certain candidates who may possess undue influence or connections within bureaucratic circles.

Our primary objective is to ensure a recruitment process that is fair, transparent, and devoid of favoritism. The timing of these interviews raises serious questions about their integrity and suggests they may be designed to benefit a select few, thereby undermining the credibility of the recruitment process.

We are dedicated to advocating for a selection process that embodies merit and fairness, and we intend to bring this matter to the attention of local legislators to garner further support. We kindly urge you, in your capacity as pro-Chancellor of the University, to direct the Vice-Chancellor to immediately suspend the interview process and ensure that the recruitment is conducted in a just and equitable manner.

Thank you for your attention to this critical issue. We anticipate your prompt action to uphold the principles of transparency and fairness within our educational institutions.

Sincerely,
Dr. Mehraj Ud Din Para
Aspirant for Assistant Professor
