JAMMU,10-02-223 : Shiv Sena J&K unit today demanded that the LG led administration should fulfill the demands of protesting Kashmir Hindu employees posted in Valley before the upcoming Shivratri Festival. The laders of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Bala Saheb Thackeray) Jammu and Kashmir unit organized a press conference at the party’s central office , Jammu, today demanding safe posting of Kashmiri Pandits/ Hindus working in Kashmir by implementing the transfer policy. State Chief Manish Sahni said government should leave its stubbornness of making these employees scapegoats and transfer them to safer places in Jammu region.
Sahni said that Hindus working under the PM rojgar yojna in Kashmir were being treated like bonded laborers and forced to become scapegoats. On aug 5 , 2019 he Center has abrogated Article 370, then the bonds included in SRO 412 should be treated as cancelled. Describing the government’s claims of rehabilitating Kashmiri Pandits/Hindus as hollow sham, Sahni said that providing jobs and temporary accommodation to only 4200 Kashmiri Pandits can never mean rehabilitating the entire community.
“Along with Kashmiri Pandits, Sikh / Muslim / Dogra communities were also given jobs under the PM package. But the BJP government is baking political bread by misleading the public by beating the name of Kashmiri Pandits. At the same time, for the last 6-7 months, the salaries of the employees are being withheld and they are being forced to go to the valley,” he said.
Sahni demanded the Central Government and the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir to implement the transfer policy and attach Kashmiri Hindus to various central departments. He said that, the PM package funds are provided directly by the Center so the administration deputes them to central departments like (Election Commission of India, NTPC, NHPC, etc.) or UT Ladakh.
Sahni said that some selected and influential employees have been attached to Jammu division. It is clear from the stand of the administration that it is not hesitating to sacrifice all the Hindu employees for the party of vote politics ambitions of the central government which is an unimaginable situation towards humanity. On this occasion, President Women’s Wing Meenakshi Chhibber, General Secretary Vikas Bakshi, President Kamgar wing Raj Singh, Women Secretaries Sukhwinder Kaur, Yawar Habib were present.
