Victimized By Ambassador Aashna Kanhai The Ambassador of The Republic of Suriname I am Sarwan Kumar Ex Chauffeur at the Embassy of the Republic of Suriname New Delhi, I given my 10 years to Embassy and worked with full dedication and honesty and in return what I got is all these blames. I was thrown out of the Embassy for no reason. I was ousted from service without any notice by Ambassador Aashna Kanhai told me very angrily not to attend office from 6th of August, 2012 and was also threatened of Diplomatic police action by the Ambassador Kanhai, if you will seen in, nearby periphery of the Embassy, In all these 10 years I never got any single warning letter from any of Diplomats; in fact all Embassy Diplomats appreciated my service, my dedication towards work and honesty. I have all the recommendation letters from the previous Ambassadors and Diplomats of the Embassy. Present Ambassador (Aashna .W.R.Kanhai) used to talk to me in an abusive manner only, she always talk negative about all other Diplomats and staff of the Embassy. Sometimes she was harsh to me as well. Firstly she had fired me. I worked there almost 11 years, and then she fired the guard of the Embassy who was working for the Embassy from so long, and then she fired the gardener (Mr. Om prakash ) and then finally she fired other Diplomat ( First Secretary Ms. Rosita Hubard) of the Embassy and her babysitter ( Ms. Lacky Tamang) all these things happened in her ternure only. There are many more things to share about her no body can believe that, She even send wrong information to MEA, (Ministry of External Affair s India) and Suriname Ministry about me, Now, since l am fighting for justice from so long a year plus , Its about my family I have two children in this point of time I cant give them education I live in rent house how I am suffering only me and my family knows, I was happily working with Suriname Embassy but why Ambassador kanhai doesnt want me to work with Suriname embassy I dont know. she have to give me reason why she did this to me. I would also like to draw your attention towards the locally recruited staff employed by Foreign Diplomatic Mission situated at New Delhi, India. There are a number of issues which we are facing in our day to day life concerning to our job and after job security. The concerns are as follows: There are more than one hundred and sixty (157) Foreign Diplomatic Mission missions situated at New Delhi but out of these only about twenty (20) Foreign Diplomatic Missions are following the guidelines set by Ministry of External Affairs, India in respect of the compensation to be provided to the locally recruited staff. The Ministry of External Affairs continuously send circulars to all the Foreign Diplomatic Missions since 1975 about the guidelines to be followed while employing local staff and the compensation that should be provided to them during the service and terminal benefits that should be provided to them while leaving the job but these circulars are treated like any other piece of paper and none of these guidelines are followed by most of the missions. They harass the locally recruited staff in different ways and terminate them without any prior notice. This kind of behavior is unacceptable from the dignity who is representing his country in India and has been provided with an honor of being Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. There are a large number of employees who has either being terminated by their missions without providing any Gratuity or terminal benefits or who has given their whole life for the service of these missions and at last gets nothing as the retirement benefit. The official working hours of the mission is generally 8 hours, but the staff is asked to perform the duties sometime for more than 15 hours without any government holidays, Saturdays or Sundays even they are asked to come on duty late at night and for all these they are not provided with any overtime and if in some embassies they have the provision for overtime it is a fixed amount irrelevant of the extra working hours performed by the staff. The staff is not provided with any annual increment, bonus or any other benefit. But the staff cannot express their anger and discomfort as they are earning their livelihood from them and in case they want to raise voice against them they will sack them by giving any false reason. Even the Ministry of External Affairs, India does not take any strict action against these missions, no matter how cruelly they treat their staff. We are writing you with a lot of hope that our voice will be heard this time and some actions will be taken to give some relief to us. Sarwan Kumar Mobile N. 9910553701
