The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expressed approval of the Central Administrative Tribunal's (CAT) decision to stay a contentious government order mandating Urdu language knowledge for Naib Tehsildar applicants in Jammu and Kashmir.
The court directed the Services Selection Recruitment Board to accept applications from candidates familiar with any official language: Hindi, Kashmiri, English, Dogri, or Urdu.
The BJP considers the ruling a victory against what it deems an illegal and discriminatory order, a sentiment echoed by Senior High Court lawyer and MLA R S Pathania.
