SRINAGAR, Oct 11: Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) Jammu & Kashmir president Mohamad Yousuf Tarigami today criticized the anti-employee and anti-working class policies of J&K administration, while stating that the unemployment rate has reached an all time high in J&K and instead of creating new avenues the Government is snatching the livelihood of those who were already in jobs.
Addressing a two-day meeting of CITU which concluded, here today, Tarigami said that in the recent past various Government employees were terminated without any inquiry or chargesheet, which has created a sense of fear among employees. He said they must have been given a chance to defend themselves before termination. “There were already a set of laws and procedures governing these employees which were not followed,” he said, adding, these decisions are arbitrary and draconian.
Similarly, he said, J&K administration disengaged 918 helpers to supervisors in ICDS Scheme without any genuine reasons. “The administration is trying to justify its wrong by claiming that their appointment had some flaws. If it was the case, the flaws must have been removed and they should have been continued as they served the Government for years and their wages were coming from the Government budget,” Tarigami added.
Dr Kashmir Singh Thakur (National secretary of CITU) and Om Prakash (general secretary CITU J&K) also participated in the meeting. The meeting deliberated upon various issues and problems confronting working class especially construction workers, Anganwadi workers, helpers, ASHA workers, Handicrafts workers, Hydel Project workers, transport workers, Hotel and Shikarawala workers, migrant workers with the determination to intensify struggles to fight anti-working class and anti-people policies of the Government.
During the meeting, CITU decided to organize a big demonstration in J&K against the anti-working class policies of the Central Government on 26th November, demanding withdrawal of 4 labour codes.
