SAD castigates Cong govt, FM Manpreet Badal for denying govt employees their dues

Chandigarh, July 19 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday castigated the Congress government as well as Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal for following an anti-employee policy by denying government employees their legitimate rights and forcing them to disrupt government functioning.
Referring to the protest in front of the office of the Finance Minister on Wednesday by Punjab Secretariat employees who held bowls and begged Manpreet Badal to give them their due besides threatening to take the same by force if the government remained unmoved by their pleas, SAD leader Parminder Singh Dhindsa said never before had the Secretariat witnessed such scenes. “It seems the government, which has abrogated its responsibility towards farmers, youth and the poor, has now decided to discriminate against government employees also by refusing to give them their due”, he said.
Mr Dhindsa said the protest also exposed the functioning of the Finance Minister who had failed to give dearness allowance installments to employees for one and a half years. He said the finance minister had also failed to implement the recommendations of the sixth pay commission. “It seems the government is deliberately delaying implementing the pay commission and is wasting time in fruitless meetings”.
