As the government begins to act tough against government employees, various employees associations including all the three factions of EJAC Sunday formed a Joint Consultative Committee, to oppose government moves.
A secret meeting of leaders of various employee associations took place at secret place in Srinagar, said sources.
“The meeting was attended by the leaders of all three factions of EJAC. The leaders of EJAC factions led by Abdul Qayoom Wani, Mushtaq Ahmad Khan and Ajaz Ahmad Khan participated in the meeting. The leaders or representatives of other all major employees association were also participants,” sources privy to the meeting told KNS.
They added that the meeting held threadbare discussion on prevailing situation in Kashmir, termination of employees, suspension of EJAC president Abdul Qayoom Wani and other issues.
“All the leaders unanimously decided to form and come under the umbrella Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) – an amalgam of various employees associations. Under the banner of JCC, the leaders would issue their programmes to oppose the move of government,” said sources.
In a meeting, sources added, it was decided to extent all possible support to those employees whose services have been terminated or suspended.
“The all leaders made a commitment to be united against anti-employees moves adopted and executed by government. The leaders will meet again within day one or two and the programme how to oppose government, will be made public,” said sources.
Pertinently, government has terminated the services of twelve government employees, for their alleged involvement in taking part in anti-government protests.
Six leaders of Employees Joint Action Committee including the president of Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC), who were detained here on Saturday after police foiled their meeting, were shifted to Kupwara and Baramulla sub-jails.
On October 22, the Jammu and Kashmir government suspended President Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC) Abdul Qayoom Wani.
