Slanderous poster, maligning General Secretary's Istanbul trip.

Com.P.Abhimanyu, being the General Secretary of the biggest trade union in BSNL, is playing a leading role, in organising continuous struggles, to safeguard BSNL and the employees. Ever since becoming the General Secretary of BSNLEU in 2010, Com.P.Abhimanyu, has played a leading role in organising many strikes. He has played a prominent role in organising the 3 day strike also, demanding settlement of 3rd Pay Revision and revival of BSNL. On 1st and 2nd March, 2019, Com.P.Abhimanyu attended the 14th Congress of the WFTU- TUI (Transport and Communications) at Istanbul.  He has made an inspiring speech in this 14th Congress, about the telecommunications sector in India and globally.  It is also a matter of pride for all of us that, the WFTU-TUI, (Transport and Communications) has elected Com.P.Abhimanyu as the Convenor of the Trade Unions of Communications Sector.

However, some cowards are spreading a poster through Whatsapp, maligning Com.P. Abhimanyu’s Istanbul trip, stating that, the General Secretary of BSNLEU is going on foreign tour, when the employees are not being paid salary. The cowards who spread this poster, are only trying to divert the attention of the employees from the real problem. BSNL is unable to pay salary to the employees, and the government is solely responsible for creating such a miserable situation for BSNL. But, the cowards link non-payment of salary to Com.P.Abbhimanyu’s Istanbul trip. This attempt is mischievous and condemnable.  It is reliably learnt that a member of NFTE from Jabalpur is behind this mischief. This miscreant is continuously making postings on his face book, and sending WhatsApp messages, maligning BSNLEU and it's General Secretary. This miscreant had spread a similar poster on a previous occasion also. BSNLEU has taken this matter to the notice of the General Secretary, NFTE. We hope that needful action will be taken against this miscreant, by the NFTE leadership.
