JAMMU, Feb 12: Stressing that the regularisation of daily wagers is a humanitarian concern, Bhartiya Janta Party MLA Sham Lal Sharma on Thursday said the government must stand by its commitments and provide a clear roadmap for addressing their long-pending issues.
Speaking to reporters, Sharma as per news agency Kashmir News Corner (KNC) said that regularisation of daily wagers is a human issue and a necessary step, adding that everyone heard the Chief Minister on the floor of the House stating that preparing a manifesto was a mistake and that he would not prepare one again.
He, however, said that manifestos are prepared by every political party during elections and serve as a sankalp patra, a document of commitment to the people. “A manifesto reflects the promises made to the public, and those commitments should be respected,” he said.
Sharma further stated that even apart from the manifesto, the concerned minister had committed to clearing the pending wages of daily wagers and assured that they would be regularised. “It was said that the process would be carried out in a phased manner, but there is no certain or clear answer yet,” he added.
Expressing solidarity with the daily wagers, Sharma said they are helpless and uncertain about their future. “We stand shoulder to shoulder with them and will continue to support their genuine demands,” he said. (KNC)
