| Government’s double standard unacceptable: Ejac | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Jan 14 : The government employees are aghast over release of 6th pay commission arrears to legislators.
"It is surprising and shocking. The legislators are drawing the benefits at time when the state employees have been refused the same", said Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC-Q) chairman Abdul Qayoom Wani.
Wani said the Chief Minister had promised a fair deal to the employees. "it was surprising to know about legislators drawing their arrears ahead of the employees."
Qayoom also questioned the mode of withdrawal. "they are drawing it in cash when employees will get it through GP fund and that too in five annual installments?
Describing employees as the driving force of state machinery , Wani said the double standards of the government were unacceptable.
Expressing his displeasure over the release, the EJAC leader asserted that the employees have always been there to implement the government policies irrespective of the conditions they are working in.
"But it is unfortunate that they were not being treated the way they should have been. Double standards of the government are not acceptable to us," he asserted.
Wani hoped that the Chief Minster will live to his promise and the first installment of the arrears will be released in February as promised.
Pertinently state legislators including Chief Minster have reportedly drawn around Rs 10 crore arrears on account of implementation of revised salary for legislators from September 2009. The revised perks /pension to the representatives - former and incumbent- will cost the state exchequer more than Rs 10 crore annually.
The beneficiaries include around 100 former and existing legislators including apart from Chief Minister, ministers, MLAs and MLCs and custodians of state legislature-Speaker Legislative Assembly and his deputy, and Chairman of the Upper House.
"Each member of the house has drawn more than Rs 8 lakh as arrears due to them from September 2009 by virtue of the revision of perks. Their revised salary ranges from Rs 80000 to Rs 90000 per month and it will cost more than Rs 1 crore per month to the state exchequer," a local daily quoted sources as having said. |
