The Sadou Asom Karmachari Parishad (SAKP) dismissed the claim of Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi that the State employees have been paid at par with the Central Government employees as baseless. It has also described the latest State Pay Commission report as a devious document. This Pay Commission has followed only the model of the basic pay structures of the Central Government while preparing its report, alleged the employees’ body.
In a statement here, the SAKP has also announced agitational programmes in protest against the failure of the State Government to pay its employees at par with the Central Government employees.
According to the SAKP agitational plan, its members would stage dharna at the headquarters of the districts and sub-divisions on January 6 and the presidents and general secretaries of its district units, along with the office- bearers of its central executive committee would stage a sit-in demonstration at Dispur Lastgate on January 11.
The SAKP, in its statement, reiterated the demands for removing the discrepancies of the State Pay Commission report. It has resented that besides the discrepancies already pointed out by it in the report, the Pay Commission failed to recommend time scale promotion for the benefit of theemployees.
But the Chief Minister despite being informed by the SAKP in writing, has cared least to redress the grievances of the employees and has now started claiming that the State employees are being paid at par with the Central Government. This is unfortunate, said the SAKP in its statement and dared the Chief Minister to establish the veracity of his claim at a meeting with its representatives.
It also expressed serious resentment over the reported warning issued by the Chief Minister that any attempt by the employees at registering their protest through agitations against the pay structures suggested by the Pay Commission would be suppressed with firm hand. It said that theemployees are bound to protest any move to deprive them of their legitimate dues.
The Assam Secretariat Services Association and the Guwahati Zilla Karmachari Parishad have extended support to the agitational programmes announced by the SAKP in support of its demands for removing the discrepancies of the Pay Commission report etc.
