Our response to the letter dated 03.12.2020 of the Board

 Dear friends and comrades,

All of you would have by now come across the letter dated 03.12.2020 of the Board .  CLICK HERE FOR THE COPY OF THE SAME

It is regrettable that by not getting the recognition of the Association renewed since 2015, the then SG has brought us all to the present state.  To add to the difficulties of the cadre, he continued to call himself as the SG even after his promotion and without the support of membership as required under the CCS (RSA) Rules.

Many of us may not be aware that in fact during his regime, the organisational strength had dwindled so much that he was not able to show a strength of even 35% of the working strength right from 2015 when the renewal was due.

Instead of fulfilling the requirement, he kept arguing that no renewal is required.  Till date the argument continues.

Our units felt that it is better to prove our strength under a new name as has been repeatedly been insisted by the Board, for purpose of enabling verification of membership.  The implication of the Board's letter is that the name of AIACEGEO will not be available for misuse by default.

Whenever we have sought the Board's intervention for settling the problem, the few units supporting the former SG come up with a plea of unification.  But when we suggest concrete steps towards such a logical course, they disappear, only to re-appear when some development takes place on that front again.

A lot of our energy has been drained in this unnecessary fight where every one knows where each one of us stand.  The comparative data regarding the strength on both sides by way of DDOs given in the letter sent by us today, will throw some light regarding the facts.  CLICK HERE FOR THE LETTER

Our request to the few units which are functional and are inclined to continuing on the other side is to kindly come along with us.  The basis was spelt out at Patna - that voting should be based on DDO certificates and by only elected representatives of each unit (with the elections having been conducted within 2 years of the General Body Meeting where the election takes place).  By no stretch of logic where democracy is the key for running an organisation, these two pre-conditions could be waived. 

Hence, all right thinking people are requested to consider the above and take steps to real unification with a purpose so that we will be able to go together to achieve our common goals.

Long live Unity and Long live the spirit of Association.

with fraternal greetings,

R. Manimohan,
Secretary General,
AIASCT (formerly AIACEGEO)
