Awake! Arise!! Unite comrades!!
Rally round nfpe
Dear Comrades,
History has its own course. Nobody can prevent it.
The Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) Union
was formed in the year 1999 by NFPE with the guidance and blessings of Com.
K.Adinarayana, the Legendary Leader who scarified his whole life for the
emancipation of GDS. But the union was
hijacked by a group of persons who are totally against NFPE and thus Com. Adi
and NFPE was cheated. They even
prevented the GDS employees from shouting the slogan - “NFPE ZINDABAD”. They looted the GDS money in lakhs and
crores. They purchased flats and
buildings. All the benefits achieved by
the NFPE through continuous struggle was snatched away by the Government one by
one during the period from 1999 to 2011.
Sufferings of the GDS increased but the ‘anti-NFPE group” could not do
anything. Neros were fiddling when the
Rome was burning. They continued to
blame NFPE for their inefficiency. They
published open letters in their journal challenging the NFPE leadership.
Through money power and muscle
power this “anti-NFPE group” tried to silence all those who questioned the
leadership and those protested were sent out of the union in a most
undemocratic manner and adhoc-committees were appointed dismissing the duly elected
bodies. Even in the earlier All India
Conference, GDS delegates who contested against the leadership were not allowed
to contest and were brutally attacked and thrown out from the conference hall.
It is at this juncture, the
majority of the GDS delegates who attended the All India Conference held at
Amaravathi decided to shape their own destiny.
The new union of the GDS called “All India Postal Employees Union GDS
(NFPE)” was formed on 7th April 2012 by the majority of the delegates. Thus the broken link of GDS with NFPE is
restored after a long gap of twelve (12) years.
Those black days are over. Once
again the GDS are going to march forward under the banner of NFPE. We shall fight together for the cause of
GDS. We shall fight against the Govt.
which is totally unsympathetic towards the three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks.
In this joint struggle we shall
abide by the great traditions of Com. Tarapada Mukherjee, Dada Ghosh, K.G.Bose,
N.J.Iyer and Com. Adinarayana. Com: Adi, who fought many a battle for the
emancipation of GDS shall be our guiding spirit and the mighty National
Federation of Postal Employees (NFPE) shall be our hope and inspiration.
We shall restore the pride and
honour of three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks.
We shall unleash series of struggle including strike exclusively for
realisation of the GDS demands. We shall
restore our past fighting tradition and the glory of GDS.
Comrades,
On this occasion of launching the
new website for the GDS, NFPE extend its warm greetings to the three lakhs Gramin
Dak Sevaks.
Let us march ahead with
determination.
Victory shall be ours.
Yours
sincerely,
