The children and family members of the terminated employees of Vidhan Sabha sat on Dharna in front of the Vidhan Sabha on the sixth day of their agitation on Saturday. The children made paintings and greeting cards to express their feelings. One of the terminated employees said that they are not able to deposit school fees of their wards as they were suddenly removed from service. The agitating employees vowed to continue their protest till they are reinstated. These employees are accusing the Assembly speaker Ritu Khanduri of adopting a selective approach and are demanding that the employees appointed prior to the year 2016 should also be removed from the Vidhan Sabha secretariat. They point out that the DK Kotia committee in its report has said that all the appointments in the Vidhan Sabha from the year 2000 to 2022 were illegal.
It is pertinent to mention here that all the ad hoc employees recruited prior to 2016 were regularised while those recruited in 2016, 2020 and 2021 were terminated by the speaker Khanduri.
