Kerala struggle – Truth prevailed.

At the peak of the struggle against M.S.S.Rao, the then CGM of Kerala, six of BSNLEU leaders, working in Thiruvannthapuram, were transferred to far off places in the circle. A bogus complaint was also given against these leaders, at the behest of M.S.S.Rao, that they involved in sexual harassment. Subsequently, due to the intervention of the BSNLEU CHQ, these transfers to far off places were cancelled. Still, five leaders of the CGM office were posted outside the CGM office at Thiruvannthapuram, citing the bogus sexual harassment complaint against them. Charge sheets were served against them. Finally, in the report of the Inquiry Officer, it is stated that these leaders did not involve in any sexual harassment. Following this, orders are issued, transferring and posting all the five leaders back in the CGM Office.

Hearty congratulations to the leaders who withstood such henious  allegation.
