Hyderabad: Alleging that the promises
made to them during last year's strike have not been
fulfilled, the pro-Telangana employees of Andhra Pradesh
government on Friday threatened to take up an agitation once
again.
The pro-Telangana employees held the strike for over
40 days last year in support of the separate statehood demand
among others.
According to K Swamy Goud, a leader of Telangana
employees, the Telangana employees are being discriminated in
matters of promotions and other benefits for participating in
the strike.
The government promised to appoint a judicial
commission to redress the grievances of Telangana employees,
but it did not materialise, he told reporters.
The employees would hold a sit-in on March 5 and start
'work to rule' (working only as per rules), he said.
If the government continued its anti-Telangana
attitude, the employees would organise a march in Hyderabad
on March 20 and announce its future course of action, Goud
added.
