Govt crushing peaceful agitation in undemocratic way: Dubey

Lucknow, Mar 18 (UNI) Convener of Uttar Pradesh Vidyut Karamchari Sangharsh Samiti Shailendra Dubey on Saturday opposed action under Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) against the striking power employees and said that the government is trying to crush their peaceful agitation in an undemocratic way.
He said that the struggle of the power employees against transfer of properties of the public sector to the private sector will continue.
Reacting on Energy Minister AK Sharma's warning of action under ESMA against the striking power workers, Dubey said that the government may arrest 22 office bearers of the committee under ESMA. "This step of the government is undemocratic. The power employees are on strike for the implementation of the written agreement with the Energy Minister and our agitation is peaceful," he said.
