Shiromani Akali Dal leader Kanchanpreet Kaur has extended her support to the contractual employees of Seva Kendras who are protesting for regularisation of their services. Kaur, who serves as the party's constituency in-charge, joined the ongoing agitation in Tarn Taran and strongly criticised the state government for failing to fulfil its promises.
Government Accused of Betrayal
Addressing the gathering on Wednesday, Kaur stated that prior to the elections, the current government had promised regularisation to contractual employees but has failed to deliver. She accused the government of using the vow as an election stunt, leaving the workforce feeling completely betrayed.
Demands for Immediate Action
Kaur warned the Punjab Government that it must pay immediate attention to the rightful demands of the Seva Kendra employees. She demanded that their services should be regularised with full eligible salaries without any further delay so that their families can sustain themselves with dignity. The leader added that if the government fails to take concrete steps soon, the agitation will be intensified in the coming days.
The protest, organised by contractual staff, seeks to highlight the plight of workers who have been employed for years without job security or adequate wages. Kaur's participation underscores the political significance of the issue, as the SAD seeks to mobilise support among government employees ahead of upcoming elections.
