States »NortPosted at: Jun 20 2021 7:42PM SAD says Cong govt cheated employees by declaring implementation of 6th Pay Commission
Chandigarh, Jun 20 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) Sunday said the Congress government had played a fraud on its employees by merely announcing implementation of the sixth Pay Commission but leaving its actual delivery to the next SAD-BSP alliance government.
It said the announcement, which was made on the eleventh hour on the eve of assembly elections in Punjab, contained many anti-employee measures including stoppage of various allowances.
Disclosing this, SAD Spokesman N K Sharma said it was shocking that the Congress government was taking credit for the supposed implementation of Pay Commission which was due in 2017. He said even after delaying release of the Pay Commission recommendations for four years, the Congress government had staggered release of the benefits to employees till 2025. “This is a cruel joke on the employees who have been waiting for years for the release of their dues. Staggering the release of dues till 2025 does not make any sense as the next Pay Commission will be due in 2026”, Mr N K Sharma said while demanding that the total dues of Rs 13,800 crores be released to employees immediately.
