EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Mar 28: An apparent shift of strategy seems now imminent among the high administrative echelons and the state employees demanding release of arrears of Sixth Pay Commission in their favour which so far was held deadlocked with government holding the stubborn grounds without any ado and employees shrieking resounding echoes within assembly and on the roads outside.
Since a tug of war is already there since past more than two months now, the new developments, of late, are likely to add a dimension that may call for some amicable adjustment between the warring employees and the nonchalant governance.
Minister for Finance, Abdul Rahim Rather shooting off to New Delhi with a demand of a whopping Rs 4200 crores from Union Minister for Finance, Pranab Mukherjee for a settlement of the pending dues of the state government employees have an underlying readings about the nature of the demand that hints towards another maneuvering done by the state minister to satiate its own cravings.
As per the latest jump in the emoluments of the MLAs and the ministers the state legislature had already given its nod for handsome monetary returns to them taking in consideration the contemporary inflation, leaving side the common man's dilemma squeezed more into tight spots.
Rather's sudden darting off to centre at the time when the assembly session is almost on its ending stage, again points towards something in the hiding that may not exactly could be ascertained as being done as a favour for the striking employees to get their sweat's worth through the sixth pay commission's recommendations.
Now here come a subject for a debate about the ministers and legislators already enjoying the Centre's patronage on their salaries packages being taken care of lengths above the par to those of their counterparts elsewhere in the country.
This since has already burdened the state exchequer with heavy load, and the government having shown its coffers empty for the state employees in return now recoursing to Centre for their demands calls for a suspicion arising over the integrity of the state government getting serious towards the employees.
The buzz in air somehow suggests that it was government's move to pose naked in front of its employees over the pay commission recommendations and their demands so that the striking employees may fall weak and then load the pressure on the centre with a plea to get their rights resurrected.
