Srinagar, 23 September: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference on Thursday took strong exception on the termination of six government employees, terming the measure deplorable and callous.
While denouncing the measure, Party’s Additional Spokesperson Mudassir Shahmiri said such off-hand dismissals smacks of injustice and vengeance. He said the action should not be seen in isolation, saying such terminations on one pretext or another are part of a larger design to purge people of JK from the government services to achieve the much anticipated extinction of locals from the administration.
He decried that the measure has weaned off scores of families from their humble source of income. It is not an individual who is at the receiving end; it’s the scores of families who have bore the brunt of this reckless decision, he added.
Calling the recent termination order of six government employees’ unwarranted infringement of the labor rights, and a colonial hangover, Shahmiri said the orders have made light of the rights and privileges of employees thus putting them at disadvantage of being labeled as anti national at the drop of hat.
