Smt. Aruna Sunderarajan, Secretary DOT has stated that the New Telecom Policy will be finalised by the end of this year.

Every NTP, whether it is National Telecom Policy or New Telecom Policy, has been for more and more opening of the sector to the private corporates and giving them all help and benefits while curtailing and putting road blocks in the working the DOT/BSNL services. There is no doubt that next NTP also will follow the same lines.

Subsidy to the private operators, additional time to pay the spectrum charges, reducing ADC and USO Fund contribution are sure to be some of the policy issues. Of course, there will be further restrictions on the functioning of BSNL and MTNL, even disinvestment, privatisation etc.

Is not this government the government of the corporates, by the corporates, and for the corporates?

Beware of Indian Goebbels!

” If you tell the same lie enough times, people will believe it; and the bigger lie, the better.”
” The rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious.”

The above quotations are from Joseph Goebbels, the Propaganda Minister of Hitler. Not only telling, the Fascist government of Hitler fully implemented it. All kinds of lies were spread against the Communists and Jews with the intention of eliminating both completely. Lakhs of people were rounded up in the concentration camps and eliminated with out any mercy. It was for saving the purity of the ‘Aryan Race’!

Is not an echo of the same cancer spreading in India? The ‘lie propaganda’ by RSS and its Parivars are going on. The BJP government and its leaders are following. Whether it is the question of unemployment, education, relief to kisans, utter lies are being spread. False information are spread to create communal hatred. Free speech is restricted.

Is India going the Hitler Way, the Goebbels way? Ensure that India does not follow the Fascist Germany path.

One third of BSNL land assets alone is Rs. 65,000 Crores!

The book value of BSNL’s landed properties are pegged at Rs.975 crore. However, the recent valuation of BSNL’s landed properties reveal that, the value of one third of BSNL’s landed properties alone come to Rs.65,000 crore. These one third landed properties are located in the major cities of the country. The land at New Delhi in which the Corporate Office is located alone is valued at Rs.2,500 crore. This valuation was done as per the new “Indian Accounting Standard”, for which the consultant KPMG was engaged by BSNL. This information was disclosed to the PTI by shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD BSNL. (Courtesy: BSNLEU website)

Privatisation of PSUs means handing over these large tracts of land of the PSUs to the private corporates for real estate purposes. According to the government, the entire BSNL’s assets are worth only Rs. 975 crores and the selling price will be with this calculation. The corporates will reap huge profit.

But one thing. The united force of the BSNL workers will fight to the last against any privatisation of BSNL! The government could not implement disinvestment in BSNL so far, they could not implement VRS and unbundling of copper cables. If the workers stand united, it will be not easy for the government to implement their anti-national designs.

NITI Agog CEO Amitabh Kant has stated that government entities should exit from operation and maintenance of infrastructure projects. He also said that jails, colleges and schools should be handed over to private!

It seems that NITI Ayog and its CEO have really become mad. They want to hand over every thing to the private, even the government itself! Unfortunately the Modi govt. itself is moving fast in the same direction.

The one day strike on 27th July 2017 is not only for wage revision, Pension revision or supernumerary benefit for the young recruits, but it is part of the bigger struggle for defending the future of BSNL, it’s service to the people and saving the nation itself.

This is part of ensuring a better future for  the Public Sector which is being dismantled by the government. The struggle is to defend the self respect of workers.

Participate fully in the strike and make it successful! 

Support to private and destruction of Public Sector

When public sector unit is in loss, it will be humiliated and privatised. But when private sector is in loss it will be helped, subsided and relief provided.

This is what is happening in Telecom sector. Govt wants to privatise MTNL and BSNL because it is loss making, but in the case of ailing private telcos, it is proposing many relief measures.

Of course, Modi govt is a govt of the corporates and for the corporates!

Expose this double standard and defeat the same.
