JAMMU, Aug 12: Aam Aadmi Party today highlighted the plight of special package Government employees who are striving hard for security of their lives due to highhandedness of Government which is busy in beating drums of normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a press conference, here today, Aam Aadmi Party team, headed by Advocate Sareen castigated BJP Government for issuing statements on security situation which are contrary to ground realities.
He said that one of the worst sufferers of highhandedness of Government are employees engaged under special package in Kashmir who are on strike from last more than three months but the Government was not ready even talking to them.
“The employees are not demanding anything off the planet but only a safe and secure environment to serve and protect for their lives,” Adv Sareen said.
He further said that instead of establishing communication with these aggrieved employees and redressing their grievance and ensuring them a safe environment which is basic responsibility of Government, it is resorting to highhandedness that too of such an extent that two months salary of employees has been withheld pushing them to corner.
He said: “This all is happening and the Government is failing to ensure and assure a safe environment to its employees when it is beating drums of foolproof security arrangements in Jammu and Kashmir.”
Advocate Sareen further mentioned that a non local laborer has been shot at last night only which shows tall claims of Government of India regarding complete normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir are not completely true.
He added: “If the Government claims complete normalcy in J&K then it should restore statehood which is a basic demand of the population.”
