SRINAGAR: Former chief minister Omar Abdullah today hit out at the PDP-BJP Government in the State for using force against the employees demanding regularisation of their services.
Omar, in an obvious reference to employment of grandson of hardline Hurriyat Conference chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani as research officer in SKICC, said the Government had no wages for casual labourers.
“No money for wages for casual labourers but let’s go and employ a ‘researcher’ for Rs 12 lakhs a year because that’s what SKICC needs right now,” Omar sarcastically said in a tweet.
Earlier in the day, the police used water cannons and batons to disperse hundreds of National Health Mission (NHM) employees who are on strike here since March 1 demanding regularisation of their services. (AGENCIES)
