On days of high unemployment; can cheating be a job too?
Demonetisation left the job scenario in the country in a lurch. Unemployment hit an all time high, and it has been having its repercussions on every aspect of economic growth in the country. The number of youths without employment is increasing with every passing day. Police officers have said unemployment can be a major cause for increased crime rate.
Fanatic and communal forces have been preying on young men who are now without jobs. Hence the men get attracted to fake ‘gau rakshak’ bands as easily as flies that are attracted to the fire. Working under such banners helps people in many ways. They can be safeguarded under the name of ‘culture guards’. It would also enable them with fake power and prestige where people fear their presence.
Unemployed youths are the easy and primary victims of terrorism, joining the extremist forces since the rate of employment is very low in Jammu and Kashmir region. There are other groups that trust the promises made by the government, waiting for the jobs to come by only to realize they have been cheated at the end of this.
Main aspect is, they do not possess skills for a job. But they have degree certificates that they assume would get them some jobs. And they are in majority. It is also very easy to mislead and fool them. Some section of unemployed youth have made it their job to cheat such gullible job seekers.
In the last two months, Delhi police crime branch has busted six such fake job networks. Cops say this is an apt reflection of the illusions people nurse about the current job scenario and people’s understanding of government jobs. The ones who have set up this network are also jobless youths who tried misleading people like themselves.
All of them would like to do jobs that have security and would get them pension at the end of their career. In the racket that was busted, candidates were being fooled with getting them a job of a manager at ONGC, railways and army.
Since such jobs are being widely advertised, people immediately pick on them to find gullible victims who are seeking such jobs. Some networks were assuring candidates of jobs in railways. And since people were shown the corresponding advertisements, they would also believe such claims very easily, falling into the cheaters’ net.
Three fraudsters were held during May this year, taking huge amounts of money from the candidates. The network of fake jobs isn’t a secret operation anymore. It gets repeated often and happens more times than ever before. In the ONGC fake job racket, fraudsters had gotten access to victims inside high security Krishi Bhavan.
In some cases, candidates would be given appointment letter and some months’ salary too. Some of them would be trained before being taken on fake jobs which would go on for a few months before the network would go bust, said the cops.
Once the fraudsters were successful in misleading one candidate, that person would work as their agent to get more gullible candidates into the network. They get mouth-to-mouth publicity without any hassles. In most cases, the gullible candidates were highly educated and with great knowledge in computers and modern technology. They would also have some experience in public facing jobs.
Before we criticize the fraudsters, we need to remember the words of our beloved PM. He had assured to create more than two crore jobs a year. What was he able to do? He took away the good jobs that existed till then. People who were into dairy farming were left in deep lurch. If a PM can mislead and commit such a huge blunder that is seen as a fraud, why can’t the youths be allowed do it? Does the PM have answer in case they ask this question?

Threatens existence of Muslim community: Kerala-based Hindu body moves SC against Waqf Amendment Act
New Delhi: Sree Narayana Manava Dharmam Trust, a Kerala-based Hindu organisation, moved the Supreme Court on Monday against Waqf Amendment Act, arguing that the law threatens the existence of the Muslim community in India.
"Given the teaching of Sree Narayana Guru about the inter-dependent nature of the well-being of all persons and communities, the ‘Sree Narayana Manava Dharmam Trust’ cannot be an idle spectator to the devastating impact of the impugned Act taken as a whole on the Muslim community of India and to social justice in our country," Bar and Bench quoted the organisation as saying to the top court.
The Waqf matter will be heard at 2:00 p.m. on Monday by a bench comprising of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna, Justice PV Sanjay Kumar and Justice KV Viswanathan, the report added.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has prohibited the filing of more petitions on the issue and stated that those seeking to challenge the law can file intervention applications to add to the arguments of the existing petitioners.
