After the V Membership Verification in BSNL was over, the NFTE and FNTO have been giving wide propaganda that  the result will not be announced  citing the interim order of Ernakulam High Court that ‘ the result of the referendum being held …will be subject to the outcome of the writ petition.’ As per the court order there is no stay either on the conduct of the verification, announcing the result or granting recognition. The result was announced on 4th February as scheduled and BSNLEU was declared as elected..

Now these unions have started propagating that the recognition will not be granted to BSNLEU. That propaganda also is being blown up. The CMD has agreed to grant recognition to the elected BSNLEU and orders are expected to be issued on 8th February.

Spreading rumours has become the usual method of some unions to create confusion among the workers.
