JAMMU, Apr 26: Former minister and working president of JKPCC Raman Bhalla along with chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma, senior leader Ved Mahajan (Ex-MLC), Uday Chib president  JKPYC joined the protest dharna of the disengaged NRHM workers at Maharaja Hari Singh statue at Maharaja Park , Jammu today.
The senior Congress leaders expressed support and solidarity with the agitating NRHM youth seeking their continuation/regularisation for rendering services during the worst period of Covid-19 but have been disengaged. They revealed that they are not being allowed to hold peaceful protests and are chased from one place to another by the police and administration.
Raman Bhalla and other senior leaders listened  to their woes patiently and extended full support to their peaceful struggle and urged the Govt to re-consider their genuine demand sympathetically.
Bhalla lashed out at the Govt for such a mal treatment with the Corona workers and termed it very harsh policy, which is causing great injustice to these employees. He urged the LG administration to accede to their genuine demand of continuation and frame a uniform policy for  their regularizations.  He said if the Congress Govt in Rajasthan can absorb such NRHM employees, why can’t the J&K Govt, which claims to be double engine Govt.
The Congress leaders said that BJP has no sympathy with such categories of youth, who are suffering a lot due to  non-availability of jobs and wrong policies of the Govt towards unemployed and temporary adhoc, contractual, casual, need based and daily wagers.
