HYDERABAD: Not just Seemandhra employees but a section of Telangana employees are also opposing the decision taken by the Telangana Employees Joint Action Committee to serve a strike notice on the state government as part of Sakula Janula Samme, a mass agitation from September 13 for Telangana statehood.
Fearing attacks from Telangana students, employees belonging to the Andhra and Rayalaseema regions have decided not to attend their duties during the strike period if no protection is provided to them by the government. "The state executive of APNGOs' Association has resolved not to participate in the strike since the demands do not pertain to employees. Andhra employees, particularly those working in Hyderabad, will attend their duties only if adequate protection is provided to them by the government.
The Telangana Students JAC has threatened to attack Andhra employees if they attend their duties during the strike period. There are about 45,000 Seemandhra employees, including 25,000 in Hyderabad, working in the Telangana region," APNGOA president Gopal Reddy and general secretary Ashok Babu said."We (Telangana JSC) want the Telangana employee unions to take independent decisions and not to have links with political parties. "If the TEJAC wants to take the Telangana movement forward it should maintain relations with all political parties. But the TEJAC led by Swamy Goud is going in the reverse direction by taking the lead and wanting political parties to follow it. Therefore, for the present, we have decided not to take part in the strike," TJSC working president E Venkatesham said."A majority of the Telangana employees wanted 'Sakala Janula Movement' to pressure the government on the statehood demand but not 'Sakala Janula Samme' since it (samme) will affect the common man.
