| Congress, BJP extend support to agitating SRTC employees | | | Early Times Reporter
JAMMU |Sep-8 The agitating employees of the Jammu and Kashmir State Road Transport Corporation, who are on an indefinite strike for the last five days demanding release of salaries pending for the last four months, got a shot in arm today with BJP and Congress extending their support with the agitating employees.
Expressing sympathies with the striking employees of the Corporation, the PCC spokesperson Ravinder Sharma in a statement issued here today urged the Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and Minister for Transport to intervene and come to the rescue of the employees who are agitating for their wages.
District Congress President Jammu Urban Om Chopra has also urged the CM to address to the problems of the employees on priority.
While extending his party’s full support to the agitating employees, the BJP State President Ashok Khajuria said the agitating employees are demanding release of pending wages and not the moon from this anti-people and anti employee government. He said the SRTC employees, who have been deprived of their salary for the last four months, are finding it very difficult to arrange two time meals and the step motherly treatment meted to them by the Azad government has compelled them to come on roads in half dresses to register their protest.
‘Alleging that such a situation has arrived due to the discriminatory attitude of the Azad government towards the employees of Jammu region’, Khajuria said the CM can not escape the responsibility by saying that he is not aware of all this as he stated a few days ago over the issue of water crisis in Jammu region. He said if the CM is not aware of the fact that the SRTC employees have not been paid their salaries for the last months he has lost his right to continue as the Chief Minister and as such he should quit immediately, Khajuria remarked.
