Children of freedom fighters to intensify agitation if posts reserved are not filled

PANAJI
Children of freedom fighters staged a protest at Azad Maidan on Friday to demand that the State government fulfil its assurance to give them jobs and threatened to intensify their agitation from December 1 if the call letters are not issued by that time.

The children of freedom fighters have been raising the issue about employment time and again, however many of them have still not got the jobs,” said Children of Freedom Fighters Association President Shivaji Shet.

Earlier in January, the ‘Children of Freedom Fighters Association’ had staged a fast unto death protest demanding government jobs. At that time, State BJP President Sadanand Shet Tanavade had given a written assurance signed by then Secretary Home to provide jobs and strike was called off.

“The government has assured to give us at least 100 call letters by November 10, but till date no offer letters have been given,” said Shivaji Shet.
