| Employees compel Govt to impose ESMA: TAJ | | Release our leaders, we will talk: JCC | | ET Report
Srinagar, Oct 6: Senior Congress leader and the state cabinet minister Taj Mohi-u-Din today said that the stubbornness of the employees' leaders is compelling the government to impose Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) in the state.
Taj said that the strike affects common masses at large and people suffer due to this move across the state. "we have the right to impose ESMA in the state and the decision has been taken by cabinet that the employees' who desist from discharging their duties shall be dealt strictly," said Taj adding that employees' leadership is mishandling its authority.
Taj further stated that the government had invited employees' leaders for negotiations on table but time and again they seem to be reluctant in resolving the issues amicably. "The doors for the negotiations are open. We want employees to settle down the issues on table than on streets." Meanwhile, Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) has appealed the government to release all its leaders, detained recently by the police.The meeting convened by the JCC here this evening decided that it would launch a state wide agitation if its leaders are not released at the earliest. "We have 18 employees' leaders detained at central jail and 60 at district police lines Srinagar," said Farooq Ahmad Trali adding that JCC will offer wide spread arrests voluntarily if its leaders continue to remain detained. The JCC is likely to take the final decision on its future strategy on October 7. |
