JAMMU, Nov 9: Dismayed over the complete rejection of the charter of demands tendered at Secretariat level regarding issues of employees of UT of JK, the Employees Joint Action Committee said that decision of the Administration on termination and victimisation of employees will yield negative results.
Relating the recent termination of employees as most infelicitous, Employees’ Joint Action Committee has vividly reprehended the action. In a statement released after a press conference at Srinagar EJAC president, Fayaz Ahmad Shabnum, said that there may be some trivial issues that merit reprimand for the sake of accountability but sacking employees forthwith and giving out no tangible reasons is by far and large dictatorial and unconstitutional.
It is a well known fact that one seeks employability not for his/her individual needs only but the job caters to the needs of entire family, dependants of the employee. Hence showing exit to one person is depriving livelihood rights to a whole family.
Looking at another aspect of this issue where we shall be confronted by the problem of brain-drain. The way employees are being treated in the current regime is totally deplorable and discouraging for the intelligentsia who in turn shall prefer foreign jobs rather to serve the motherland. This will surely have adverse and hazardous effects on our development in the long run.
It is further stated that there has to be substantial evidence on account of such actions but momentarily it seems that the expulsion of the employees is arbitrary and has no concrete basis.
“The employees will lose their faith in the system and they are already apprehensive that people may avenge them to settle personal scores,” the statement reads.
Such stern actions need to dealt lawfully besides the terminated people must be given a chance to be heard so that justice prevails. There has to be a charge-sheet in which charges levelled against an employee be made explicit. This is pointing towards some connivance which shall deepen the wedge between the government and the employees.
The prominent leaders who attended the meeting included – Dr Manzoor, Mohd Akbar Khan, Altaf Handoo, Tariq Ahmad Sofi, Muzaffar Ganaie, Moulvi Bashir, Showkat Bhat, Dr Mushtaq, Rouf Shah, Bashir Thokor, Mohd Akbar Dar, Arsalan Habib, Showkat Paul others.
