Every year, BSNL employees are being given opportunity to change their union membership. The window for this will be opened from 16^th June to 15^th July of every year. However, all of a sudden, the BSNL Corporate Office has issued instruction today to hold this process online. This is surprising. It is deplorable that, the Corporate Management did not even bother to consult the Recognised trade unions on this matter. BSNLEU will express its protest to the Management.

Indian wrestlers, who had won Asian as well as International level medals, are agitating for the past several months, demanding the arrest of Shri Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, Chairman of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). It is alleged that, Shri Brij Bushan Sharan Singh has sexually assaulted women wrestlers. The accusation is very grave. However, the police did not take any action against him. The simple reason is that, Shri Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is a five time MP of the ruling BJP. There are many criminal cases pending against this man. The CBI and the Enforcement Directorate are raiding and arresting leaders of the opposition, without any valid reason or evidence. However, despite grave allegations, the government is refusing to take action against Shri Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Only recently, that too after the intervention of the Supreme Court, FIR has been filed against the WFI Chairman. Having lost faith in the government, the wrestlers went to the Ganga to throw their medals into the river. However, they are stopped by the leaders of the Kisan Union. Now, the khap Maha Panchayat of Haryana has set 9^th June as the deadline to take action against Shri Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The government is refusing to take action against Shri Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, due to the simple fact that he belongs to the ruling party. The whole country is witnessing this.
