The AAP will regularise government employees wherever it forms the government, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal said on September 10.  

“Wherever the AAP forms government, we are in favour of regularising temporary employees and we will regularise them and give them their right,” Mr. Kejriwal said in a video statement, referring to a recent decision by the AAP government in Punjab to regularise 8,736 teachers. 

The AAP chief termed the system of temporary employment as “exploitation” and said that it should end and only permanent employees should be there in the government.

He said that there is pattern across the country of hiring people on temporary or adhoc basis and urged the Central government and other State governments to regularise their temporary employees.

On September 5, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced the regularisation of services of 8,736 teachers across Punjab, saying that the State government was committed to ensuring the well-being of every strata of society.
