Mass Dharna at Jandar Mantar New Delhi on 27.02.08
The mass dharna staged in Jandar Mantar New Delhi on 27.02.08 was a great success. I had congratulated Sri.L B Reddy and all those who worked hard for this. However the organization of the dharna was not discussed with CEC members. This is why most of the CEC members were not present at the dharna. When I was asked by the NVS HQ regarding the mass dharna I informed them that the dharna was not organized in proper consultation with the CEC but we do not oppose it. We were in view that taking into account of the dire nature of the situation prevailing in NVS and the pathetic condition of the staff working in JNVs such an initiative would add a cutting edge to our actions. More over some of our prominent CEC office bearers like the Publication Secretary and the Vice Presidents were also there. I requested Sri. L B Reddy to keep the great force that has been received after the Mass dharna. But his aim was to own the total success of the dharna to himself personally and not even that of AINVSA.He wanted, it seems to project himself rather than thousands who attended the dharna and other thousands who wished success for it. Taking this as an opportunity to strengthen himself he plotted a scheme to dismiss the official CEC and to cultivate his own crop of people at a 4th National Convention on 27.04.08. He is coming more towards the point of personalizing the organization according to his own wish.
Hunger Strike at Jandar Mantar New Delhi on 26.04.08
A hunger strike was staged on 26.04.08 demanding the recommendations submitted to the VI Pay Commission, better service condition gratuity and GOI Pension Scheme. The hunger strike was held on 26.04.08 from 6 am to 6 pm.Sri.Bal Aapteji, M P and Vice President of BJP inaugurated the hunger strike.Sri.T P Mani presided over. Famous congress party leader and M P Sri.Karana Chand Yadav and leaders of Central govt employees’ organizations felicitated at the strike. Later the problems of NVS staff were discussed with the Joint Commissioner Sri.Alok Verma. The members which participated in the hunger strike opined that they must participate in the so called 4th National Convention convened by Sri.L B Reddy.They also demanded that the President and all CEC members should be invited to it. On account of that 16 members from various states were selected to participate in the convention. However Sri.L B Reddy and the “Hon’ble M P” who is handling the Gen secretary threatened these people. They said that Sri.T P Mani and his supporters would not be allowed to participate in the Convention and if they tried to come they would be handed over to the police. The members returned disappointed as they felt that their own organization is against them. But they were resolute that they would take part in the 4th National Convention come what may.
