| Govt fails to break ice with employees | | Open to negotiations, will go ahead with strike': JCC | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, May 23 : Ahead of the proposed three day strike called by the employees' Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) beginning onn Thursday, the state government attempted to break the thaw by deputing Commissioner General Administration Department Sheikh Mushtaq Ahmad for negotiations with the JCC.
Commissioner General Administration Department held a special meeting with JCC leaders and asked them to call off their proposed strike. "GAD commissioner called us for meeting and insisted for calling off the strike", JCC senior leader Mohammad Khursheed Alam said, adding that the employees' leaders made it clear to the Commissioner that the JCC would not call off the strike unless their demands were met. "We told Mushtaq that JCC cannot ditch employees by backing off at this crucial juncture and the government must implement its written agreement with JCC", Alam claimed.
He further added that the GAD Commissioner was however told that JCC did not want any kind of confrontation and was ready to come to the table any time the government wanted. "Commissioner put his every effort to convince us for calling off the strike, but we categorically refused to do so. But we told him that JCC does not want confrontation, and it is for the government to act wisely", he said.
Meanwhile, another JCC leader Abdul Qayoom Wani told KNS that the government should not expect JCC to surrender and felt that the Chief Minster Omar Abdullah needed to intervene to save the situation from turning volatile. "We are there for our right and nobody should expect us to bow down", Wani said. "Chief Minster must intervene so that every thing settles down amicably", asserted Wani.
JCC leaders also said that they were open for negotiations and it was for the government to take the right call at the right time. They insisted that JCC would go ahead with its proposed 3 day strike programme which begins Thursday.
They claimed that the Commissioner General Administration Department Sheikh Mushtaq promised that he would convey their message to the government. |
