JAMMU: Demanding immediate issuance of their appointment orders, the empanelled ReT aspirants held a protest demonstration, here. They raised slogans in support of their demand and against the Government, particularly the officers at the helm of affairs.
The aggrieved aspirants assembled near Press Club Jammu and staged protest demonstration against the Government’s dilly dally tactics in issuing their appointment orders. The protest was led by Bishan Das, who lambasted the government for halting appointment orders in favour of the aspirants, who were empanelled in 2015-16 as Rehbar-e-Taleem teachers. “We are not demanding stars from the sky but our legitimate right, which has been snatched by the Government. This totally unacceptable and will be fought tooth and nail till the demand gets fulfilled,” he added.
Asmat Hassan, another leader of the protesters, claimed that the High Court has also issued clear cut direction in their favour but the Government was only giving hollow assurances. “We are left with no option other than to hit the streets as there is no other mean to earn our livelihood and most of the candidates have crossed the upper age limit to get any other job,” she added.
Seeking intervention of Lt Governor Manoj Sinha for immediate issuance of their appointment orders, the protesting candidates threatened to further intensify their struggle.
