While issuing the ultimatum, the Senate standing committee on Cabinet Secretariat on Tuesday summoned the top bureaucrats concerned on May 24 with a policy on the regularisation of services of the Federal Directorate of Education daily-wagers, mostly teachers.
It warned if the directions were not complied with, then its members would table a bill in the house for the purpose and get it approved to ensure regularisation of services of the daily wage employees in question by the government.
The committee met here with its chief, Senator Talha Mehmood, in the chair.
The members criticised the Capital Administration and Development Division secretary and FDE director general for using delaying tactics on the matter and said they always came up with lame excuses to buy time instead of taking corrective measures.
They later walked out of the meeting complaining the FDE daily wagers were being discriminated against.
The members, however, returned at the intervention of the chair, who later called the CADD, Establishment Division, Cabinet Division and Finance Division, principal secretary to the PM and other officials concerned to produce a policy on the regularisation of services of the FDE daily-wagers to the meeting slated to take place on May 24.
He said if the directions were ignored, then the committee members would approve a policy on the matter on their own before taking a bill on it in the Senate for approval.
The committee chairman and members also expressed annoyance at the registration of FIRs against FDE daily wagers for demonstrating in the city to claim own rights and asked the Islamabad police chief and the relevant SHO to appear before it in the next meeting.
Currently, the FDE overseen by the CADD has 1,000 daily-wage staff members, both teaching and non-teaching, at its educational institutions in the Islamabad Capital Territory.
