Jammu:<\/em><\/strong> BJP president Ravinder Raina on Monday alleged that a lobby is working to defame his party as he tried to pacify angry workers protesting the re-advertising of posts under three schemes where these people were employed.
The government had on Friday re-advertised \u2018Rehbar-e-Janglat\u2019, Rehbar-e-Zirat\u2019 and Rehbar-e-Khel\u2019 posts through the Service Selection Board and had said additional weightage and age relaxation will be given to those already working on these posts.
Hundreds of people employed under these schemes on Monday assembled outside BJP headquarters and staged a demonstration demanding revocation of the order under apprehension of end of their services.
\u201cI talked to Lt Governor (Manoj Sinha) and Chief Secretary A K Mehta on the issue and was told that there is no such order and the news is fake. Whenever there is a talk of elections, some people in the administration deliberately come out with such types of controversies to defame the BJP which is all set to form the government after the next assembly elections,\u201d Raina said, addressing the protesters.
He said those found responsible for such rumours should be dismissed from the service, and sought an enquiry into the matter.
\u201cThere is no government order about your termination. I am saying this with full responsibility,\u201d he said.
He also referred to an order issued by the higher education department in January directing active participation of teachers and students to perform Surya Namaskar\u2019.
This was also a deliberate attempt to create a controversy, he said.
Raina said a committee formed by the government in 2020 had made some recommendations but the final decision will be taken by the administrative council headed by Lt Governor.
\u201cIt was our government which engaged you through proper channels. There are no backdoor appointments and we will not allow any injustice with you,\u201d he said.
He asked the protesters to form a delegation of at least 10 members, and promised them he will arrange a meet between them and the Lt Governor.
Raina, who was accompanied by a strong posse of policemen, was greeted with slogans like we want justice by the angry protesters.
They said they were not satisfied with Raina\u2019s arguments and said they will continue their protest till the government issues a written clarification.
\u201cWe want revocation of the order forthwith to safeguard our future. We have served our departments over the past four years and were gifted with this order at a time when we were hoping to get regularised on the completion of our probationary period,\u201d a protester said.
He said it was the previous PDP-BJP government that came out with these schemes to provide employment to over 3,000 well-qualified people, and the selection process was done in a fair manner by the concerned deputy commissioners.
Meanwhile, several opposition parties including National Conference and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) extended their support to the protesting workers and demanded revocation of the government order.
National Conference provincial president, Jammu, Rattan Lal Gupta decried the supposed move to disengage the employees.
He said, The motive behind this unprincipled step is clear that the LG\u2019s administration is paving way for outsiders at the cost of local youth.
Former Minister and senior AAP leader Harsh Dev Singh also condemned the supposed decision, and said educated were not disposable .
\u201cThis use-and-throw policy is highly unjustifiable and shall be fought tooth and nail,\u201d he said.
Lamenting that the unemployment rate in J&K had become the highest in the country, Singh urged the Lt Governor to personally intervene in the matter. PTI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
