Jammu: Shiv Sena Hindustan today expressed serious concern over threats to Kashmiri Pandit employees. Addressing media persons in a press conference, President Shiv Sena Hindustan J&K Pt Rajesh Kesri alleged that administration has failed in protecting them and that over the years they have been only given false hopes and promises while seeking immediate relocation to safer places. He said that they were feeling dismayed and are living a life full of threats and humiliation. PM package employees appointed for various supernumerary posts under CBMs in 2010 and onwards, are still living as deportees, unsettled, unsecured; now almost 13 years in a row,” Kesri said. Kesri also expressed serious concern over suspected blast near the Sidhra bridge checking point in Jammu on Tuesday evening few meters away from Lt Governor House.He demanded immediate thorough search and high level investigation to punish whosoever is involved in this
Kesri further said that PM package employment policy has completely failed as a policy at all levels and has only multiplied their woes and vulnerabilities. They are doing their job at the cost of their lives even as we recently witnessed the killing of PM package employees,” he said.He demanded repealing of the “unconstitutional bond” which, he said, were forced to sign at the time of joining their services for the survival apart from relocation to the safest, terror-free places outside the Kashmir division.He said that he believes it is a complete failure of administration which has resulted in the toll on the lives of the innocent PM package employees. He appealed to the J&K Lieutenant Governor to prioritize the security of Kashmir Pandits over their service location and relocate them to Jammu division until the situation becomes normal.The killings have shown that security breach is a reality and thus accepting this reality, KP employees need to be relocated to Jammu,” he said.
“With a lot of false assurances, lip service that these package employees received from every government, politician and administrators for last 13 years, they are now highly disappointed and engulfed with uncertainties and continuous life threats,” Kesri said.They will not be able to work in the present circumstances and Government should take necessary steps regarding our safety.He said KP employees feeling vulnerable and are not sure about their safety. “Who knows who will end up killing them; it is just not safe here,” he said.He said KP employees feel trapped rather than in a job due to wrong and inhumane policies of the Government where, he said, there is no special flexibility in norms so to give it a humanitarian touch and thought which in turn could render some relief to hapless PM package employees who saw 33 year-long gloom full life post-migration.
