Rajouri-Poonch employees term JKEJAC a ‘puppet group’

Reject Jan 12 call, extend support to JCC

Terming newly floated Employees Union “JKEJAC” as government sponsored and its leaders as government puppets, Employees’ Organizations of Rajouri-Poonch have rejected the call given by Ram Kumar instead extended support to the Employees Joint Consultative Committee (JCC). In a joint press conference held here, Jammu Kashmir Teachers Forum (JKTF), Regional Employees Forum (REF), State Teachers Association (STA) and Rehbre-Taleem Teachers Forum (RTTF) leaders took strong notice of the allegations leveled by newly floated Jammu and Kashmir Employees’ Joint Action Committee (JKEJAC) leaders and termed the organization as “government sponsored”. Backed by State Teachers Association President, Tanveer Ahmed Shawl, RET Teachers Forum President, Manzoor Khan, Regional Employees Front leader, GM Charak, and JKTF leaders Vinod Sharma, Zafar Iqbal and Shiv Kumar, Jammu & Kashmir Teachers Forum Chairman for Rajouri-Poonch districts Shahbaz Khan rejected the strike call given by “self styled” employees leader Ram Kumar and extended full support to “real” Employees Joint Action Committee leaders headed by Abdul Qayoom and Khurshid Alam Khan. He alleged that Ram Kumar had already staged drama of 107 days strike in support of Junior Assistants but the same was failed after entering into ‘secret agreement’ with government. “Junior Assistants 107 days strike failed after Ram Kumar was convinced by government and they entered in secret agreement”, he alleged demanding the employees to be aware with these leaders who are dancing on the tune of government. Khan also condemned the allegations leveled by Muhammad Maqbool against the Joint Consultative Committee leaders. He said that such leaders are planted by government and they have nothing to do with the employees’ demands. Appealing the employees to reject January 12 strike call, Shahbaz Khan said that the employees of Poonch Rajouri region are united and they are awaiting the call of employees’ leaders Abdul Qayoom Wani and Khursheed Alam in order to chalk out future course of action.
