While Addressing the conference Com. M Krishnan, Secretary General, N F P E, briefed the role and contribution of NFPE as well as the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers in the P & T Trade Union Movement. Narrating the postal trade union movements initiated by Babu Tarapada Mukerjee till date he stressed upon the uncompromising struggles and sacrifices by the pioneers which have given the Central Govt. employees fixed duty hours, leave, bonus etc. As experienced by the leaders, the demands of the Central Govt. employees have been achieved only during that period when the voice of such a working class is supported by the leaders from the Left front. UPA-I Govt. could not pass the PFRDA bill only due to the objections raised by the Left Parties who were supporting at that time. But UPA-II Govt. could be able to pass the bill with the help of NDA . Both the policies of the NDA and UPA Govt. were/are anti-people and anti-working class. When there is the General Election ahead, it is the duty of every Indian citizen to exercise his valuable mandate to elect a Govt. which will work for the welfare of the working class. The draft biennial report of R-III was placed by Com. R N Dhal, Circle Secretary and the same of R-IV was placed by Com. H K Mohanty, Circle Secretary-R-IV.
