Com it is really an bruteful act by GM Gaziabad and untolerated, I am asking why Gaziabad comrades are not making indefinite strike immediately opposing / Arresting GM before 16-11-2012 common strike, see already we have made so many strikes for different puposes and comrades younger comrades are afraiding for making often strikes by which no result is outcoming like issue of ITS instead of loosing salaries, this comment is not only mine but of so many comrades which can not express openly, so I request let Gaziabad comrades take n/a action like strike, Gherrao, not allowing GM into office, gherrao to DC/SP of Ghaziabad, Relay Hunger infront of DC/SP Ghaziabad, so first let them do all these if not settled pl call for one day stike to all. Pl don’t misunderstand, because already we have co operated for all your orders so far, pl intimate to this leadres of Ghaziabad & all——on behalf of comrades who are not expressing their views openly.
Dear Comrade,
Your point is well taken. In fact, on the day of the murder and for one week, the Ghaziabad GM office was complete strike and nobody including GM or other officers did enter the office. One day strike was organised in UP West Circle. More than 1500 c0mrades marched to the Sr. Supdt. of Police and sat there on dharna for about 2-3 hours. Ghaziabad comrades have already done a lot. The GM is not coming to the office.
Why the Police and BSNL Management is not taking any action is well known. It is lakhs/crore of money and high level influence. The struggle has to be strong to break it. That is why we are going on all India strike.
