Terminating services of 12 Class IV employees unjustified: Vakil

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Oct 23: Former Minister Abdul Gani Vakil today called upon the Government to defer examinations till February and look for fast track process for the declaration of results.
Asking the Government not to make the timing of examinations a point of prestige Vakil said examinations could be held in February and results could be declared in short time through fast track tabulation process”. Government can’t forcibly push the injured and mentally upset students into examination halls. Unfortunately education minister claiming to be a man of intellect humiliated teachers last year by asking them to sit in a written test and had to roll back his decision in the end.
In fact he had not understood the contents of a court order on the eligibility of ReT teachers Vakil added. He said “provocative decisions have to be avoided at all costs to avoid confrontation with teachers and the students. He called upon the education minister to concentrate on the improvement of infrastructure in schools and colleges instead of wasting time on provocative decisions just to invite unwanted controversies.
Reacting on the decision of the Government regarding termination of 12 class fourth employees Vakil described the decision unjustified, unwise and undemocratic and said that it will only help in adding fuel to the fire in the present situation in the valley.
Confrontation with the Government employees will only lead to the paralyzing the administration which we had been already witnessing for the last more than three months. He stated that dialogue with employees would have been better option rather to terminate some employees and putting their leaders behind the bars.
