Believing contrary pointy of view as soul of democracy we produce below the reaction of Shri Ashok Dabas on the article ” Open spat at NFCL programme at NCUI
I STRONGLY OBJECT TO THE MANNER, THE EVENT IS COVERED BY SOME REPOERTER OF THIS PORTAL. THE SAME IS NOT IN GOOD TASTE AND IT APPEARS THAT IT IS AIMED TO CREATE DIFFERENCES WITH LATENT PURPOSE.
TRUTH IS ALWAYS TRUTH AND SHALL PREVAIL. I HAVE GIVEN ABOUT TWENTY YEARS OF MY LIFE TO THE COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT AND THE LABOUR COOPEARTIVE MOVEMENT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART. I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO STRENGTHEN IT
TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES. SUPER BAZAR AN AILING COOPERATIVE IS REVIVED TODAY BECAUSE I TURNED EVERY STONE TO REVIVE IT FOR THE SAKE OF THOUSANDS OF ITS WORKERS. WHEN EVERYONE INCLUDING AMUL, NCCF, NAFED, NDDB,etc., DEEMED IT TO BE A DEADWOOD, INDIAN LABOUR COOPERATIVE SOCIETY OF WHICH I WAS THE CHAIRMAN, INTERVENED IN THE SUPREME COURT AND MADE IT POSSIBLE TO BE REVIVED.
SIMILARLY FOR NLCF ALSO I MOBILISED CAPITAL TO STRENGTHEN THE SHARE CAPITAL BASE OF NLCF. I ALSO GOT SOME CONSTRUCTION WORK ALLOTED TO NLCF. BESIDES AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF NLCF ON THE BOARD OF NCUI I HAVE BEEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING MORE PROGRAMMES ALLOTED TO THE TRAINING OF THE LABOUR COOPERATIVES. QUITE FREQUENTLLY AND ASSERTIVELY I HAVE BEEN RAISING THE CAUSE OF LABOUR COOPERATIVES AT VARIOUS FORUMS, WHICH IS A MATTER OF RECORD.
SO THERE CAN NOT BE ANY EFFORT ON MY PART TO DENIGRATE OR INSULT MY OWN ORGANISATION WHICH I AM NURTURING TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES.
FURTHER, I DO NOT NURTURE ANY HOSTILITIES AGAINST ANYBODY OR Mr.PANDEY, FOR THAT MATTER.
THROUGHOUT MY CAREER IN THE COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO CALL “A SPADE – A SPADE.” OFCOURSE I NEVER MINCE WORDS, AS TRUTH IS TRUTH. NLCF IS NOT PERFORMING TO THE EXPECTED LEVELS WITH RECURRING LOSSES, AND ONE ONE MUST KNOW, WHERE WE STAND IN ORDER TO PROGRESS.
WELL I PRAISED Mr. MISHRA THE MD OF FISHCOFED, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT ?
FISHCOFED WAS A SINKING ORGANISATION AND Mr. MISHRA BROUGHT IT BACK ON ITS OWN FEET. SUCH A PERSON NEEDS TO BE PRAISED. ON THE OTHER HAND THE LABOUR FEDERATION WHICH HAS GREAT POTENTIAL, IS FAILING TO MEET ITS OBJECTIVES.
I WAS NOT COMPARING FISHCOFED WITH NLCF. IN FACT THERE IS NO COMPARISON, AS FISHCOFED HAS GONE MILES AHEAD, WHICH WE SHOULD TAKE AS A ROLE MODEL AND STIRVE TO JUSTIFY OUR POSITIONS. IF THE REPORTER OF THIS PORTAL OR Mr. PANDEY HAS TAKEN IT OTHERWISE, THEN IT IS YOUR PROBLEM.NOT MINE.
SO I DEMAND, YOU BEING A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN YOU MUST OFFER AN APOLOGY AND REPORT CORRECTLY.
