Jammu, Feb 2: Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary on Monday described the ongoing protests by daily wagers as politically motivated, asserting that the issue is being exploited by a few individuals rather than reflecting genuine workers’ concerns.

Speaking to reporters, Choudhary said some self-styled leaders are using the daily wager issue for political purposes. “Our Chief Minister has already constituted a committee, and we know how to deal with this issue. Daily wagers will be regularised,” he said, emphasizing the government’s commitment to resolving the matter through a structured and lawful process.
Without naming any party, he alleged that certain elements are deliberately politicising the protests to create unrest, hinting that some daily wagers in Jammu are aligned with the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Choudhary reiterated that the government remains focused on governance and welfare, and the Chief Minister’s committee will examine all aspects of regularisation before taking decisions.
