Senior Congress leader and Communications In-charge of Indian National Congress, Randeep Singh Surjewala has blamed the Haryana’s BJP Government for the Punjab and Haryana High Court decision of quashing the 2014 regularisation policy for the contractual and ad hoc employees of state government.
Randeep Singh Surjewala said that the Khattar government neither put the entire facts before the High Court nor argued the case appropriately and effectively for the contract / adhoc employees, which resulted in the dark future of 8,000 poor families. He said that the 2014 regulization policy made to regularize the adhoc employees during the Congress regime was not only legally sound but it also took due care of the interests of the ad hoc and contractual employees. But BJP Government deliberately let the policy quashed in the High Court.
Randeep Singh Surjewala demand that the Khattar Government should immediately undo its mistake of letting the policy quashed in the High Court by passing an ordinance for granting permanent status to the said adhoc and contractual employees. He said that the Congress Party understands the pain of the temporary employees of Haryana and stands firmly with them in this hour of grief. If the BJP government does not give temporary employees their due rights, then Congress would do justice with them all when it comes in power in the state, he added. He reminded that in 2004, the Congress government had ensured the re-employment of 9,000 employees of various boards/corporations, who were sacked by the then Om Parkash Chautala-BJP Government, by adjusting them in different departments.
Randeep Singh Surjewala said that the intention of the BJP government was doubtful from the beginning as it was playing with the future of employees to achieve its ulterior political motives. It was the reason that the Khattar Government firstly put the policy on hold in 2014 and later let it scrapped in the High Court, he further added.
