| Invoking of ESMA reflects fascist tendency of Govt: PDP | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 7: Expressing serious concern over autocratic attitude of the State Government in dealing with problems of different sections of the society, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lambasted the coalition regime for invoking Essential Service Maintenance Act (ESMA) on the agitating government employees who have demanding fulfillment of the commitment which were made with them by the government
PDP regretted that instead of involving employees in the dialogue to breaking the stalemate government has been adopting confronting attitude to deal with the situation. PDP also condemned the government for arresting the agitating employees.
In a joint statement issued former Rajya Sabha member and vice president of party Trilok Singh PDP MLA from Darhal Choudhary Zulfikar rued that government has been trying to crush agitation of the employees with brutal use of state apparatus. They said that during the last two months employees, with one or other way, have been reminding the government about the commitments made with them but the government has not shown any signal to fulfill that promises.
PDP termed ESMA like act as draconian and asked the government to start dialogue with the employees to solve the issue.
PDP leaders reminded that it was the same coalition government that had promised in the month of February 2009 to give arrears of the Sixth Pay Commission to the employees. Now the government has been backtracking from its own commitment. PDP leaders warned that being the main opposition party PDP would not remain a mute spectator to the oppressive policies of the coalition government.
PDP leaders further said that not only employees, this regime has cheated all sections of the society be it educated unemployed youth, technocrats, farmers or government employees. During the assembly election ruling National Conference had made lots of promises with the people but after grabbing the power this government has been now trying to hoodwink the people.
Meanwhile Trilok Singh Bajwa, who is president of the Kissan Union has also condemned brutal lathicharge on refugees who were holding peaceful demonstration in support of their genuine demands. He said that farmers of Jammu region would come on roads if demands of the refugees were not fulfilled.
