Cong criticises lathicharge on ReK teachers

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Jan 4 : Congress has strongly condemned brutal lathicharge on peaceful protestors of ReK teachers including women and termed it as inhuman and against the basic rights of protest guaranteed by the Constitution.
Reacting sharply to the alleged brutality on the agitating Rehbar-e-Khel Teachers by the police, JKPCC strongly criticised the harsh treatment to the  physical teachers reminding the Government about the assurances regarding regularisation of their services.
“It is inhumane and undemocratic as the right to peaceful protest is guaranteed under the Constitution’’, said JKPCC Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma.
He said under BJP rule, the youth are getting lathis instead of jobs and in response to raising their voice for rightful cause and demands.
