First Greetings & Message From Secretary General, NFPE Com. M. Krishnan duly launching Website for AIPEU GDS(NFPE)
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,
M.KRISHNAN
