Tells PDP Their Brownie Point Rush Is Killing a Serious Issue; Asks Them to Contact Him on Understanding Outsourcing Srinagar, June 26: J&K Peoples Conference President and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone on Friday drew a sharp distinction between outsourcing and backdoor appointments, calling the NC government's conversion of public sector jobs into privately outsourced positions a far graver crime against the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, while simultaneously cautioning the PDP against muddying the waters for the sake of political point-scoring. Lone said he had anticipated that the outsourcing controversy would eventually descend into a blame game between the two parties, and warned that mislabeling the issue does a disservice to the thousands of young people affected by it.  "These are not backdoor appointments. These are outsourced appointments of government jobs, and that distinction matters enormously," he said, adding that when he raised the question in the Assembly, the government itself confirmed that 25,000 jobs had been outsourced.
