Published on: 

Demanding immediate withdrawal of the ban imposed on promotions, the association of general and OBC employees held a massive demonstration here on Wednesday.

 The association was especially angry on the statement of the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and its members vented their anger by burning the effigy of Rahul Gandhi.

After the recent decision of the Supreme Court (SC) on reservation in promotions, Rahul Gandhi had accused the Modi government and RSS of trying to erase reservation.

On the day the employees assembled at the Clock tower and tried to march towards the Rajiv Bhawan, the headquarter of Congress party but the police prevented them.

The agitated members of the association then burned the effigy of Rahul Gandhi at Astley hall. Addressing the workers, the president of the Rajya Karmchari Sanyukt Parishad, Thakur Prahlad Singh said that many politicians are trying to politicise the decision of SC on reservation on promotions.

 The president of the association, Deepak Joshi said that the employees have requested the chief minister to remove the ban imposed on promotions.

 A demand has also been made to implement the new system of roster of reservation in new recruitment.

He said that the employees would observe a work boycott on February 14 and on February 20 a massive rally would be held in Parade ground on the issue.
