Congress seeks regularisation policy for all categories of contractual adhoc, daily wager, casual workers and other temporary employees
Jammu, May 23- Alleging that several anti-youth decisions have been taken by the UT administration post August 5, 2019 and the ruling BJP is behaving as mute spectator, JKPCC demanded framing of time bound regularization policy for different categories of contractual, adhoc, consolidated daily wagers, casual workers, need base and other temporary employees working in different Govt. and semi Govt. institutions for years together on meagre wages.
Addressing a press conference at party HQ here Today, JKPCC Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma Ex-MLC said that proxy govt. of BJP is totally insensitive to the plight of educated unemployed, semi employed and self employed youth, ever since Jammu and Kashmir was downgraded to UT. One after another order is issued by LG administration against the interests of the educated youth of Jammu and Kashmir but the ruling BJP leaders have been în the hiding, watching helplessly the exploitation of our youth and sheer injustice with them. Sharma was flanked by PCC Spokesperson Kapil Singh.
Reacting Sharply to the highest ever unemployment rate in Jammu and Kashmir, he said that it is the result of several arbitrary decisions of the UT administration regarding the unemployed youths and temporary adhoc, contractual, daily wagers, need based workers and other wrong policies of the Centre Govt. and UT administration. JKPCC Chief Spokesperson has said that all decisions and orders post August 2019 have gone against the educated youth of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that the reported decision of disengagement of NYC, REK, REZ, REJ etc. appears to have been withheld following media reports due to fear of backlash from the youth but the Govt. has taken several arbitrary decisions which are against the interest of local youth of Jammu and Kashmir leading to large scale unemployment and frustration amongst the youth, who were promised 50 thousand jobs in three months post August 2019 but after three years Govt. claimed selection to just around 12 thousand jobs, how many actually joined, is not known.
He said that all posts advertised and referred to the selection agencies were recalled back putting thousands of educated candidates to lurch after three years or more in an arbitrary manner which is great injustice. Several categories of temporary and contractual employees NHM were disengaged after utilizing their services during Copvid. Similarly different categories of contractual, adhoc, temporary and daily wagers are facing disengagement and uncertainty after putting in years of services and these youth were expecting their regularisation after completion of required period and length of services on temporary basis. This is total betrayal with the youth of J & K, who have rendered their services on meagre wages for years together.
He said that there are different other categories of daily wagers, need based, contractual, adhoc, consolidated and temporary employees but are being denied the fair right of continuation, regular wages and right of regularisation after completion of required length of service. The different HODs and administrative secretaries issue their orders of choice with regard to these contractual and temporary employees. There is no uniform policy of their continuation of services and it is the sole discretion of respective bureaucrat.
The BJP Leaders taunt the daily wagers, need based, casual workers as the sin of past governments which is adding insult to them. They have rendered services for longtime on meagre wages and it is great injustice to them.
The party fully supports the right of regularisation of all these youth working for all these years on meagre wages that too irregular payments after months together, only on the hope of regularisation.
The party strongly criticized the anti Youth, anti unemployed, anti semi employed and anti self employed mindset and unjust , unreasonable and arbitrary orders of the BJP controlled government. Earlier too more or less all decisions of the government were against the interests of the youth of J &K, with a view to give opportunities to the newly eligible domiciles from outside, that is why all advertised posts are being re advertised and all temporary, contractual and others being disengaged to advertise the posts. Already disengaged NHM health warrior are on roads after putting their lives on risks. They rendered remarkable services but This is the gift of government to them.
Congress demanded that government should come out with a regularisation policy for all categories of such employees be they contractual, daily wagers, casual, need based or other temporary employees working by different nomenclatures. The Congress extended full support to all such categories of temporary employees.
