Withdraw the retrograde letter, issued by BSNL Management to sabotage the 3 day dharna - AUAB leaders tell CMD BSNL.

The BSNL Management issued a letter on 17.09.2021, giving directions to the CGMs for taking steps to break the 3 day dharna programme organised by the AUAB, at Jantar Mantar on 21st, 22nd & 23rd September, 2021. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has issued order from time to time, stating that the citizens of the country have the right to participate in peaceful protests. As such, the BSNL Management has got no business to take steps to break the peaceful protest actions like dharna, hunger strike, etc. The AUAB leaders met the CMD BSNL yesterday and expressed their strong protest against the letter issued by the Corporate Office and demanded that the letter should be withdrawn. However, both the CMD BSNL and the Director (HR) told that letters once issued cannot be withdrawn.  They told that they would be careful in issuing letters in future. But the AUAB leaders did not accept this and insisted on the withdrawal of the letter.
