EMPLOYEES AND GOVERNMENT SHOULD FIND THE SOLUTION THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS: MIRWAIZ

Srinagar May 28: (Only Kashmir): Due to the continuous tug of war between the government and employees, it is the common man who is suffering endlessly.

The people who have fought relentlessly for the liberation of Kashmir have to face the brunt of inefficient state system, corruption, and ever-increasing inflation. On the other hand, constant strikes by the employees and governments callous attitude to meet their demands have only added to the daily woes of common man.

The corrupt system, striking employees and negative government attitudes combined along with oppressive policies of government have broken the back of common man.

This was stated by All parties Hurriyat Conference Chairman, Dr Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement.

Mirwaiz strongly condemned the government action on the striking employees. He said oppression, detentions, beatings, nocturnal raids, and spreading fear by government agencies was unacceptable and condemnable. He said both the employees and government should find the solution of the problems through negotiations.

APHC chairman further made it clear the government and employees should know their rights and duties. He said Kashmiris are the worst sufferers and every possible effort should be undertaken to provide relief to common masses.   

Expressing astonishment, Mirwaiz said if government have already entered into agreements with the employees on basic issues, why it was now retracting from its stand.

He urged government to consider the justified demands of the employees and thus provide relief to the common Kashmiris.(OK)
