MUZAFFARABAD:
Blaming the previous Pakistan Peoples Party government for the mess in the education department, the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) prime minister on Friday said that they were trying to reverse those changes.
Speaking to a group of senior journalists on Friday, AJK PM Raja Farooq Haider said that the health and education departments were a top priority for the incumbent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government.
“I know how the appointments were made in the education department by the previous government,” Haider said, adding that their government was trying to make these departments corruption-free.
“Now, hiring would be through the National Testing Service (NTS) and Public Service Commission (PSC) with the aim of blocking all illegal ways and holes in appointments,” he said. Noting that good governance was a continuous process, Haider warned that it would take the time to start a cleansing process in other departments.

“Every department has to show performance on the ground which needs undaunted will and commitment,” he said, adding that they had passed the instructions to all the heads of departments to submit progress reports on a monthly basis.
Lamenting that he could not provide better education to his two sons Haider Farooq and Usman Farooq owing to a financial crisis, he hoped that now, as an elected prime minister, he would ensure good and affordable education for all.
“I have given a free hand to the Education Minister, Barrister Iftikhar Gilani, the youngest cabinet minister, that all postings and transfers should be on merit. If our education department goes well the whole region would be at the top in every field of life,” Prime Minister Haider said, adding that he had resolved to improve the education department.

He said the same policy was being adopted for the health sector. In this connection, Haider revealed that Rs30million had been distributed among the needy for treatment. Moreover, special allowances would be given to doctors who prefer to serve in remote areas and villages than cities.
