Since the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) excluded Urda as a mandatory object for Naib-Tehsildar, the main Minister J&K Omar Abdullah said on Wednesday that employees outside Urda will not be effective.
Meanwhile, President Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mehboob Muftti and J&K Peoples Conference (JKPC) Sajad Lone chief on Wednesday (July 16, 2025) was against this transfer of Urdu as a mandatory subject for Naib-Tehsildar and Kashmir.
“Before independence, our revenue records were in Urd.
He said that officers of the administrative service of Jammu and Kashmir (Jkas) and Indian Administrative Service (IAS) appointed in the past “will be given time to learn the foundations”.
The opposition also opposed Cat’s decision. “It is deeply unfortunate that our judiciary seems to be influenced by dividing policy. Urda, a recognized official language for decades, is now unfairly commissioned,” said former Chief Minister J&K in a contribution to the X -Social Media platform.
In Urd, the J&K revenue records continued to be maintained, she said. “It is logical that applicants for the post of Naib then have a basic knowledge in the language. This requirement is rooted purely in administrative efficiency, not in any form of divisibility,” Mingi said.
Bharatiya Janata (BJP) protests against the government announcement issued in June to occupy these posts. On Monday on Monday, the provisions of the provisions on the provisions of J&K revenue (subordinate) regulations have added the 2009 Recording Rules, which knew Urda as a minimum qualification consisting of Rajnder Dogra and Ram Mohan Johri. He ordered the J&K Services selection council to accept applications from all candidates who have a university degree with knowledge of any of the five official languages in J&K.
“The exclusion of Urda as a qualification requirement is part of the systematic marginalization of the majority of cashmere and a dangerous step towards” linguicide “Urdu,” Lone said.
Given that Urdu no longer needed to qualify for the post of Naib then, “Most of the cashmere population was almost included in the footnote in the recruitment lists. Their presence in recruitment lists is indirectly proportional to their number.
He said that Urda historically gave Kashmiri’s candidates a reasonable advantage in these posts because of the meaning of language on administrative matters. “This is a calculated step towards deleting regional linguistic roots. March of good legal representation is on the established government. I hope it is not another firm match in a series of solid matches we have seen recently,” Lone said.
