MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): The Central Core Committee Ad-hoc and Temporary Employees have announced to hold a protest after Eid on the dismissal of several Ad-hoc Teachers.
According to the details, the meeting of the Central Core Committee Ad-hoc and Temporary Employees was held under the chairmanship of Raja Ghulam Jilani, in which the Supreme Head of the Central Core Committee Raja Athar Ali Khan also participated as a special guest.
After lengthy consultations in the meeting, it was decided that the date of the protest would be announced immediately after Eid. The sit-in will continue until the demand for permanent employment through legislation is approved.
The participants said that after the 17-day-long sit-in by ad hoc and temporary employees, the Services Department issued a statement on December 16, 2024, that no ad hoc employee would be dismissed from their jobs until the legislation was enacted.
On March 18, the government committee had also decided in the negotiations with the Central Core Committee of Ad hoc and Temporary Employees that ad hoc and temporary employees would not be dismissed.
The dismissal of female teachers the very next day after the negotiations show the government’s double standard, which is unacceptable in any case.
On the one hand, the government committee assured during the negotiation process that the employees would not be dismissed, and on the other hand they dismissed several head teachers posted in girls’ schools, the meeting participants said.
The speakers said that ad hoc and temporary employees spent the golden period of their lives serving the people and the good name of the government in the hope that if not today, then tomorrow they would be made permanent, but the government showed no mercy.
The meeting participants maintained that the govt should immediately reinstate the dismissed teachers and issue a notification to make ad hoc and temporary employees permanent, otherwise after Eid, ad hoc and temporary employees from all over Azad Kashmir will again stage an indefinite protest sit-in in the capital.
Senior Vice President Muhammad Waqas Mughal, Shujaat Khan, Raja Yasir Qadir, Siddique Ahmed Abbasi, Muhammad Naseem, Wajid Ahmed, Syed Masoom Shah, Umar Farooq Mir and other members also attended the meeting.
