Srinagar: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has said that Government must revoke the newly created employment policy as it is directly effecting the career of education youth of state.
In a statement issued to KNS here AAP leader Dr Raja Muzaffar Bhat said that instead of providing good job opportunities, the Government’s new employment policy is proving to be a nightmare for the talented , educated unemployed youth . “It is a matter of grave concern that under the new job policy a non gazetted employee will be paid salary in a fixed mode which ranges from Rs 3850 to 10,460 for first five years, which includes 50 percent of basic pay for first two years and 75 percent of basic pay for next three years. Irony is that even pension is not applicable under this policy but at the same time this policy is not applicable for gazette employees , this is totally injustice “ Dr Muzaffar added.
He said that on one hand legislators (MLA’s , MLC’s) are demanding hike in their monthly salaries from Rs 90,000 to Rs 1.15 lakhs but on the other hand an MPhil or PHD degree holder is paid mere 3000 to 4000 Rs per month. How can the legislators justify their demand ? NYC volunteers have been denied justice and they have been protesting since years but Government never paid any heed to them.
Contractual lecturers are being made to work like coolies in higher secondary schools and degree colleges. Irony is tha the female contractual lecturers are denied maternity leave and other benefits as if they are not human beings ? If Government does not revoke this job policy , Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will come on roads along with unemployed youth and agitate against the said draconian policy of the Government.
