The protests against the controversial PRC issue are gaining momentum. After the Chalo Vijayawada rally became successful, the employees carried out the Pen Down protest to show their fight against the issue. The agitation was held at the Velagapudi secretariat by the employees.
Now the employees will carry out the indefinite strike. Ahead of the strike, a Lunch Motion petition was filed in the Andhra Pradesh High Court against the agitation and the High Court had heard the petition.
The arguments have come as a big shock for the employees as the Division bench of the Court said that the government enjoys the power to take any action against the employees to bring the situation under control.
The Andhra Pradesh government made these comments when Advocate General S Sriram who appeared in the case on the behalf of the government told the court that the way the employees called for a strike goes against the Constitution.
The protest was brought to the notice of the High Court when the petitioner had knocked on the doors of the court against the protest to seek directives from the court to term the protest as illegal. In the petition, the petitioner expressed his concerns about the way the employees are locking horns with the government.
The division bench of Andhra Pradesh High Court that comprises Justice C Praveen Kumar and Justice K Manmadha Rao had asked the Advocate General how the permission was granted for the agitation that was called by the protesting employees. As a response to the question, the Advocate General told the court that permission for the protest was not given.
While saying that the Andhra Pradesh government can take action against the employees, the High Court had adjourned the next hearing to February 10. The bench said the hearing will be continued as per the prevailing situations.
The High Court saying that the government can take action against the employees should be seen as a big setback for the employees. The time the comments came is also concerning for them as the indifferent strike will be started from tomorrow.
