00:00Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. My dear colleagues, media fraternity and all senior leadership of Jammu & Kashmir Employees Coordination Committee.
00:10As you know, on 4th January, we held a press conference in this press club.
00:19We announced a program on 17th January.
00:23In this program, we called all the members, delegates and volunteers from all departments of Jammu & Kashmir.
00:35We called them for a mega protest demonstration from Srinagar, Sher-e-Kashmir Park.
00:43We mobilized that program very well.
00:48It was a very good response.
00:50In an estimate, around 7000 volunteers were ready to hit the streets of the city centre.
00:58We needed to understand this sensitivity and this sensitive issue.
01:06The government understood this issue.
01:10We had a program today.
01:13At 10 o'clock last night, I met the top officials of the government.
01:18Divisional Commissioner Varti, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, District Magistrate Srinagar and SSP Srinagar.
01:26They did a good mediation in this.
01:29They explained the sensitivity of this protest to the government.
01:35The government gave a mandate to Divisional Commissioner Varti, District Magistrate Srinagar and SSP Srinagar.
01:45They contacted us.
01:47At 10 o'clock last night, I was informed that the government of Jammu & Kashmir wants to talk to you.
01:55They want to talk to you on the table.
01:57They want to take your issues on priority.
02:00They want to talk to you about the issues that need to be solved as soon as possible.
02:07They want to talk to you about the issues that the government should consider.
02:12Keeping this in mind, the government gave a positive response.
02:19The government took a step forward.
02:21I spoke to my cadre.
02:24We decided that today's program...
02:27There were hundreds of vehicles parked here.
02:31From Kuffara to Kulgam, from Gandharbal to Badgam.
02:35People from all the districts were here.
02:37We had a very good preparation.
02:39But the government gave a positive response.
02:41The government took a step forward.
02:43We took two steps forward.
02:44We decided that we will not cancel our program.
02:47In fact, we have deferred our program for 15 days.
02:51In this regard, the entire administration of the Kashmir Division called me.
02:57They said that on Monday, the Chief Secretary of Jammu & Kashmir has called you.
03:03The government is ready to talk to you.
03:06You can solve your issues as you wish.
03:09And it will be solved on a priority basis.
03:11That's why we showed a positive approach and gave the government 15 days.
03:16In these 15 days, we will be close to the government.
03:19We will talk to the government.
03:21If we get a positive response in these 15 days, we will bring it to you again.
03:27You will get to know that from the government.
03:29If we don't get a positive response in 15 days, we will bring it to you.
03:33But now we feel that the government has taken a step forward.
03:37The positive response I received yesterday evening at 10 pm...
03:41I am satisfied with the entire administration.
03:44You know about our issues.
03:46I told you in the last press conference.
03:48We have a lot of issues.
03:50We have given a memorandum to the administration.
03:53Now we will talk to them again.
03:56We will talk about what they have invited us to talk about.
04:00And secondly, I want to add an important point here.
04:03Look, there is a democratic setup in democracy.
04:07Everyone has a constitutional right to a peaceful protest.
04:11If our honourable member parliament...
04:15If Mr. Ruvala is in a highly sensitive security zone...
04:22He gathers a crowd and protests in a highly sensitive area outside the CM residence.
04:32There is no problem in that.
04:35So there should not be a problem in our protests either.
04:37Because we are a part of the government.
04:39We are the part of the government.
04:41We are the government actually.
04:42We are running the government actually.
04:44Therefore, the government should not have any kind of hesitation...
04:47For our protests, for our programs.
04:49Because we are a part of the government.
04:51Governments change.
04:53Officers change.
04:55Politicians, political governments change.
04:57But this employee stays in his department for 30-25 years.
05:05Therefore, our request to the government is...
05:10Consider us as your own.
05:12Consider us as your own.
05:13When there is no problem in gathering a crowd outside the CM residence...
05:20When the honourable MP is given permission...
05:23When there is no security issue...
05:26Then we should not stay either.
05:27Because these employees have sacrificed for this nation.
05:32These employees have sacrificed for this country.
05:34This system is run by these employees.
05:37From the ground to the top.
05:39We will continue to be a part of the administration.
05:41But if our rights are violated...
05:43We will not sit quietly for that.
05:45We are ready to face any kind of punishment from the government.
05:50But we will not tolerate any kind of response from the government.
05:54Let me make one thing clear to you.
05:57We have a vulnerable LG and we have a vulnerable CM.
06:01But there is one common power centre.
06:04That is the worthy chief secretary.
06:05That is common to both.
06:07Whether it is the elected government or the honourable LG side.
06:11The worthy chief secretary is the common power centre of the government.
06:15Because the government plays an important role in policy decisions.
06:20He is an important representative of the government.
06:22When he has called us here...
06:26We are confident that there will be no outcome.
06:32We don't say that we have given 50 or 10 demands to the government.
06:36That the government will solve 10 problems in a month.
06:39But there are some things that the government can do within a month.
06:42Within 15 days or within 10 days.
06:45We will focus on those as well.
06:46Medical students protested.
06:48Mr. Rula stayed ahead.
06:49As you said, there was a protest in a specific zone.
06:52Do you believe that your next move will be the same?
06:56Will you hit a security zone where you protested?
07:00No, we have never wanted our Jammu and Kashmir state to be peaceful.
07:04We have always wanted Jammu and Kashmir state to be peaceful.
07:07We have never wanted unnecessary confrontation.
07:11Employees come on the roads.
07:12There are 450,000 employees.
07:13If 10,000 employees had gathered here today, you would have seen the situation.
07:17I am happy that our WDK, DC Srinagar and SSP Srinagar got to know about the sensitivity.
07:28And they mediated this to the government.
07:31This is a good thing.
07:32That is why the government should understand this before coming to these things.
07:36As I told you earlier, we detailed our issues and demands in the first press conference.
07:44The first demand is that all the employees have a common demand.
07:51Common demand?
07:53Common demand.
07:54Common demand is D.A., H.R.A., Medical Reimbursement, G.P. Fund.
07:58It is our money.
07:59It is our increment.
08:00The government should provide an answer to this demand.
08:03Or there should be a solution to this problem.
08:05The second thing is that our CPWs work in schools.
08:10They are called Contingent Paid Workers.
08:12They work for free.
08:16When the school buildings were burnt in 2016, the CPWs filed an FIR.
08:25At that time, no H.R.A. or principal filed an FIR.
08:28The government held the CPWs accountable.
08:31But when it came to their rights, they did not talk about it.
08:35They do not have any wages.
08:36In the morning, they open the gate of the school.
08:38They do the cleaning.
08:39In the evening, they close the gate.
08:41But the irony is that not a single penny is paid to them.
08:44We are hopeful that this issue will be solved.
08:46The second thing is that the government of India launched a scheme.
08:50In the scheme, they started elementary education in the National Education Policy.
08:53In that scheme, a lot of female workers were employed in schools.
08:57They were called helpers.
08:59There were thousands of them.
09:00As soon as the month of March came, they were told that they had to run from Delhi to Jammu last year.
09:05So they had to rectify it.
09:07They were told to sit at home.
09:09They were given a month's break.
09:11When they were appointed in the government sector,
09:14I will repeat this in Kashmiri.
09:21When they were told that they were fired,
09:24this is not a good humiliation.
09:26We do not want them to be called disengaged.
09:30We want them to be told to continue what they were doing last year.
09:34Because they are all orphans, widows, and divorced.
09:37The third thing is that our horticulture has a PAYE anomaly file.
09:41If the guest employees did it, why did they keep the non-guest employees?
09:45We have a fisheries organization.
09:47If the guest employees did it, what is the fault of the non-guest employees?
09:52Similarly, our employees are in agriculture.
09:55Our vocational trainers work.
09:57We have a long list of social forestry issues.
10:01Teachers also have a lot of issues.
10:04As I said earlier, we have kept 15 days.
10:09We have categorized the demands in the chart.
10:13Some demands need 15 days or a month.
10:17Some demands may take 3-4 months.
10:21We will not show our selfishness.
10:24We will not tell the government what to do.
10:28We will categorize the demands and answer them.
10:32If the demands are met immediately, we will give the government a briefing time.
10:37If the demands are not met within 15 days or a month,
10:40then we are forced to resume our program after 15 days.
