| Now party with a vision, PDP used to be punching bag for Qayoom | | Week is enough time in politics | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 2: As they rightly say `a week is enough time in politics' the former trade union leader who used to criticise the PDP led government every day made his entry into the PDP Saturday.
Wani while addressing the press soon after joining the party stated it was the vision of the PDP that inspired him to join the party and become part of the caravan which is striving on all fronts to get the state out of the squalid conditions and make peace and prosperity permanent in Jammu and Kashmir. "The Confidence Building Measures taken by the PDP founder Mufti Mohammad Sayeed like ending of the Ikhwan era, talks with Hurriyat and opening of the Muzzafarbad route are enough to make one understand the pro-people policies of the PDP and why every peace-loving citizen of the state is duty bound to strengthen the party on ground," Wani said.
He added that the basic reason for him to join the party is to strive for fulfilling the PDP's mission and make strenuous efforts in stopping the vicious cycle of violence which is consuming state's younger generation with each passing day.
However, going back to the year 2015 when PDP was heading the government in coalition with the BJP, it was Qayoom Wani who used to ridicule the PDP with choicest abuses, accusing it of disrespecting the government employees. When the government declared that it is going to hold screen test for ReT teachers in the state, Wani called for state wide shutdown of government offices against the decision.
On July 8, 2015, he said that screening test is an insult to teachers' community. He said that if government will go ahead with the screen test, then all the government employees will hit the roads and will teach a lesson to the government.
On August 1, 2o15, he said: "If the government chooses to implement the proposal, we will lockout the schools and march on the streets across the state. ReT teachers are appointed on fool proof transparent system of recruitment based and only the meritorious ones are offered the right appointment. As regards the regularization of seven hundred teachers appointed in different KGBVs the government has already regularized 98 out of them purely for the reasons of having clout of some powerful politicians and bureaucrats."
"We strongly condemned the high handedness of the government and the beating of striking teachers of KGBVs by ruthless cops on Srinagar streets. We warn the government of dire consequences if the striking teachers of KGBVs are not regularized immediately. As regards the high court directive it clearly asks the government to screen the degree certificates of only those candidates whose credentials are doubted on one pretext or the other. There is no question of any proficiency test for any ReT teacher presently working in the school education department," Wani said.
"We ask the government to shun the path of confrontation and resolve the pending issues of teaching community including the regularization of the teachers of KGBVs in the state," he added. |
