POLITICAL HOOLIGANS ATTACK NORTH KOLKATA GROUP-C DIVL CONFERENCE : HOLD CIRCLEWIDE DEMONSTRATION ON 20th JUNE
The
Group-C Divisional Conference of North Kolkata Division, arranged at
Ghughudanga Post Office on 16th June 2013, has been attacked and
ransacked by political hooligans identifying themselves as belonging to
the ruling political party of West Bengal. Some comrades have also been
physically assaulted and injured on their way back to home.
The hoodlums came into action after the open session, when the
SSPOs, Notth Kolkata Divn, Sri M.K.Nag was still present among the
comrades and Circle leadership. They tore up the Red Flag of NFPE,
ransacked the Martyr Column garlanded with flowers. They had only one
mandate --- no 'red' organisation cal hold their programs here. Though
our comrades tried their best to make them understand that according to
our constitution approved by the Central Govt, that conference had to be
held, it was of no use as the miscreants had political vendetta.
The brave comrades of North Kolkata Division did not budge and
still finished the conference, electing Com. Subhas Acharya as President
and Com. Jayanta Malakar as the Secretary. While returning home, some
of the comrades were again attacked by those miscreants and got severe
injuries. FIR was filed by our Divl Union, but as usual, the police
nowadays is the finest example of deaf and dumb spectators
in the hands of this particular political party. Though the entire
episode was witnessed by the Divl Administration, no administrative
action has been reported so far.
The Circle Unions request all the branch and divisional unions
to hold demonstrations at each unit/ divl HQ on 20th June 2013 and
submit a resolution in the following text addressing the Chief
Postmaste General, West Bengal Circle with copies to all regional PMsG.
'This demonstration
expresses its deepest concern over the political attack on the Group-C
Divl Conference of North Kolkata Divn on 20.06.2013 and condemns the
administrative inaction even to protect the constitutional provisions
set out by the Department itself. The administrative reluctance is
sheltering the gradually increasing political interference inside our
departmental operations and as a matter of fact, thus inviting more
atrocities endangering the security of staffs and offices.
This demonstration
demands immediate appropriate and visible action on the parts of
administrations of all tiers in West Bengal Circle so that there is no
space left for such political interference and vendetta and such
attackers also face suitable consequences. Be it further resolved that
if the administration still remains reluctant to ensure adequate
security for our staff-members all over the circle, it will only
expedite vigorous trade union movement of any degree, responsibility of
which will befall on the administration.'
