The Department of Posts has withdrawn the recognition of National Federation of Postal Employees (NFPE) and the All India Postal Employees Union Group ‘C’ (P-3 Union). 

 

The Department of Posts has accused NFPE and P-3 Union of funding political party. 

 

In its letter no. SR-10/7/2022-SR-DOP dated 26.04.2023, the following allegations are made in Para 4.

 

 “NFPE and Association donated some amount to Confederation of Central Government Employee and Workers to provide help to farmer’s movement as well as Rs.4,935/- to CPI(M) and Rs.50,000/- to CITU.”

 

Giving donation to farmer’s agitation and Rs.50,000/- to CITU cannot be termed as political donation. Kisan Sabha and CITU are not political parties.

 

Further, the General Secretary of NFPE has submitted in his explanation that, Rs.4,935/-, paid to the CPI(M) is the online payment made for purchasing books from CPI(M)’s publications. (See Para 6.3 of the letter of Department of Posts.)

 

The small amount of Rs.4,935/- itself shows that, it cannot be a political donation. 

 

So, it becomes very clear that, the recognition of NFPE and P3 union has been withdrawn by the government with an ulterior motive. BSNLEU strongly condemns this undemocratic action of the government and demands that, the recognition of NFPE and P3 union should immediately be restored.
