Srinagar: Doctors Association of Kashmir (DAK) on Friday said that the government has not done any favor to State government employees by enhancing their retirement age.
They should not be celebrating the enhancement of retirement age as it was long overdue. They need not to be jubilant as this hike will not put an end to miseries and sorrows of Kashmiris, DAK statement issued here said.
There is no victory in it as it has not healed the wounds of Kashmiris. Employees must understand that for their genuine demands they were forced to come on roads. They were humiliated, beaten, arrested and booked under draconian laws and what not. The existing system is so messy that it is difficult for the employees to work efficiently. There are neither infrastructural facilities nor adequate incentives for the employees, the statement said.
The duty of the responsible government is to create a proper system for employees to work and government has failed to do so. The misgovernance is because government in this part of this world is unaccountable for their misdeeds. Government has removed a disparity only as most employees within and outside state are retiring at the age of 60. It took years for the government to remove this anomaly which is a mere election stunt.
DAK thanked EJAC president, Qayoom Wani, for pleading the revocation of the suspension order of the DAK president, Dr Nisar ul Hassan. DAK will continue to agitate against the unjustified suspension of Dr Nisar which is purely a vendetta for his raising voice against tyranny, the statement added.
