The right minded people are shocked at the manner in which a midnight transfer order has been issued to Justice Muralidhar, transferring him from the Delhi High Court to the High Court of Punjab and Haryana. On 26.02.2020, Justice Muralidhar severely criticised the Delhi Police for not filing FIR against the BJP leaders, including Anurag Thakur and Kapil Mishra, who had made hate speeches and had instigated riots. This has annoyed the government and the transfer order of Justice Muralidhar was issued at 11:00 in the night on 26.02.2020. The law ministry justifies that on 12.02.2020 itself, the Supreme Court collegium had recommended Justice Muralidhar’s transfer. It is ok. But, why the transfer order was issued at 11:00 in the night? The judges who praise the government and the ministers will be benefited and the judges who criticise the government will be punished. Is this the rule of the present day government?

The recent media reports on the performance of Indian economy are disturbing. The economy is not showing any sign of improvement, but is deteriorating further. India’s crude steel production has fallen by 3% in January, 2020. Automobile sales continue to decline, with Maruti Susuki sales falling by 2% in February, 2020. Suresh Pal, eminent agricultural economist and director of ICAR has told that, India’s growth in agriculture has declined from 5% to 3%. All these are happening despite Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, gifting Rs.2.15 lakh crores, as tax concessions to the big corporates.

Com.K.G. Bose is the revolutionary leader, who changed the course of the entire Postal and Telecommunications trade union movements.  He changed the concept that, trade unions should only fight for the economic demands of the employees and should not fight against the policies of the government. Com.K.G.Bose showed the path that, if the policies of the government are against the interests of the working class, then those policies should be fought against tooth and nail and should be defeated.  Com.Moni Bose, Com.V.A.N. Namboodiri and the thousands of leaders who gave birth to BSNLEU are the comrades, greatly inspired by the revolutionary ideas of Com.K.G. Bose. BSNLEU is marching ahead in the path shown by Com.K.G.Bose and is relentlessly fighting against the  pro-corporate and anti-worker policies of the government.

The BSNL employees, pensioners and contract workers carried out a vehicle rally at Pondicherry on 28^th February, 2020. The rally was intended to impress upon the general public that BSNL is emerging as a vibrant service provider. The General Manager of BSNL, Pondicherry, flagged off the rally from the BSNL Office. The rally went through the important streets and showcased the entire range of products of BSNL, from landline, mobile, broadband and fibre-to-home high-speed internet. BSNLEU appreciates the initiative taken by the employees and Management of Pondicherry. This type of programme needs to be conducted throughout the country to strengthen BSNL.
