The
Profile of Deshbhakt
The Hindustan Times
is reporting today about a speech of Shri AnandKumar Hegde MP of Karnataka in
the following words.
"Former Union
minister and Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Uttara Kannada Anantkumar Hegde, no
stranger to controversies, has stirred up another one by calling BSNL employees
‘traitors’ and ‘anti-nationals’ who would be fired as they refused to work.
“The only cure for
that is privatisation which our government will do. Some 85,000 will be fired
and later on more need to be fired,’ he was seen saying in the video."
This naturally brings
embarrassment to both the MOC/DOT and BSNL higher management and causing anger
and protest amongst the BSNL employees. The Ex Minister though directly
charging the employees and it has its own indirect strictures on the Minister
in charge and Secy DOT the monitoring higher up and BSNL CMD with the Board members.
These higher ups normally should own responsibility equally for good service as
that of employees.
If the MP Shri
Anand Kumar Hegdeji has any grievances, the same may be brought to CGM of
Karnataka or to the CMD or to the MOC straight to take corrective action. BJP
Govt at the behest of higher level decision headed by none other than PM has
announced that the PSU privatization policy is going to come shortly. We don't
know this MP has more power to announce BSNL privatisation than MOC/ MOF or PM.
He has no patience to wait and see his own Govt's Policy that is being cooked.
This gentleman was
MP and Minister in the earlier 16th LS also. His attendance was fairly good for
that we have to appreciate . He raised
285 questions in the last LokSabha a lot
about Railways, FDI, labour Laws but not a single question about BSNL or
telecom. That was his past commitment about the welfare of the telecom system
of India.
Last Feb 2020 this
gentleman made a controversial comment about our freedom struggle and Mahatma Gandhi.
The comment reported by various media was "Freedom movement was staged by
some leaders- freedom struggle a big drama- such people became Mahatama."
No sedition case was booked against him for ridiculing the freedom struggle and
the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi. He was given a show cause notice after
a lot of debate in the media by the BJP.
Another controversy
that he raised was about his statement
that BJP was here to change the constitution. For this also he was made
to apologise.
Now again today he
shot into fame (of course notoriously) again by his remarks about BSNL
employees.
