JAMMU, Oct 10: Former MLC and spokesperson of J&K BJP, Girdhari Lal Raina has expressed dismay over the directive issued by Divisional Commissioner Kashmir ordering strict enforcement of biometric attendance for all the Government employees including those recruited under PM’s Employment Package.
“Such an order is illogical in prevailing situation in which employees belonging to religious minority in Kashmir are being subjected to targeted terrorist violence,” Raina said.
Speaking in a meeting of Booth and Mandal level workers of BJP, Raina demanded reconsidering of such an intimidating direction.
He stressed that protection of life of every citizen including the package employees, remains the responsibility of administration.
The BJP leader asked the Government to issue an assurance of security of life in case it is confident of non-existence of any threat to the life and honour of these employees.
He also expressed disappointment on denial of salary to the minority community employees for several months. “Stopping salary to employees is punishment to his family. Even suspended employees are entitled to subsistence,” he opined.
