Leaders of the Andhra Pradesh Teachers’ Federation (APTF) have expressed reservations over what they call “undemocratic and deceptive” stand of the A.P. Employees Joint Action Committee (JAC) leaders on the PRC issue.
Federation’s president K. Bhanu Murthy and general secretary P. Panduranga Varaprasad announced that they were resigning to the posts of the AP JAC’s co-chairman and executive committee member respectively, in protest. They said the leaders of the PRC Sadhana Samithi Steering Committee had diluted their stand in the initial stage itself.
The leaders had said they would accept the government invitation for talks only if it met their three prime demands – making public the Ashutosh Misra Committee report, repealing the G.O.s on the PRC issued on January 17, and paying salaries as per the old PRC from January this year. Later, they said they would come for talks if the invitation for the same was given in writing, said the federation leaders.
