JAMMU, Sept 26 : The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC), spokesperson, Deepika Singh Rajawat (Adv) today lambasted Lt Governor’s administration for plunging migrant employees including Kashmiri Pandits in distress by virtue of an order withholding their salaries.
She termed the action unjust and harsh on the employees, who have been vulnerable to targeted killings in Kashmir and are protesting since last May.
She said that it is unfortunate that when hundreds of migrant employees including Kashmiri Pandits, who had been engaged under Prime Minister’s employment package and different schemes are protesting for the assurance of their safety in wake of continuous targeted killings in Kashmir, the LG administration is being apathetic towards them.
Deepika voiced her support for the protesting migrant employees and demanded immediate redressal of their demands instead of victimizing them heartlessly. Pertinently there are thousands of employees including Kashmiri Pandits who are working in different departments in Kashmir under the said package.
She maintained that migrant employees have been protesting for about four months now and instead of giving any heed to their genuine demands, BJP through LG is blackmailing these employees by withholding their salaries.
“Both LG and BJP have mistaken their demands for favours. I want to remind them that the hapless migrant employees are seeking their genuine demands and today or tomorrow people will hold this heartless regime accountable for such inhuman indifference and vengeance in their own court,” she said and added that under present dispensation, people of J&K are coerced to reel under anarchy, wherein none of the demands of the people are even paid an ear to and are left at the mercy of God.
She suggested LG administration to be sensitive to the loss of human lives and stop treating them as an entity to gain political mileage.
