Dear Mr. M. Vivekanandji,
We are thankful to you for the reply mail and reminding us again the need for standing united. We apologize to you for slight delay in sending the reply as we had to contact all ITO’s of this region who are due for promotion before sending you the reply. Before commenting upon the contents of your mail we would once again like to reiterate that the contents of our letter dated 17-05-2010 and later mail which was sent to you were not of any individual here. It was collective view and apprehensions of all ITO’s of Gujarat who are due for promotion in the proposed DPC and those who are next in line for promotion. Our this view has already been ratified in the letter dated 19-05-2010 written by the General secretary, ITGOA, Gujarat Unit to the Gen. Sec. ITGOA, New Delhi who has also called for an early convening of EGM on this issue. (Copy of his letter is again attached herewith)
2. It is further clarified that the letter written by the Gen. Sec. of ITGOA, Gujarat Region was on the basis of a detailed representation from the senior most ITOs of the Charge (they have mailed a copy of the same to all the units of ITGOA and for that matter to your unit also). The facts mentioned therein have been found to be commensurate with the ground reality prevailing over various burning issues concerning the members of our association not only in Gujarat but also all over India. Not only this, the issue of promotion is also emotionally attached to the family members of ITO’s also, many of whom have their grown up children studying in higher classes. In that matter defence forces are better than our department because the there the formalities of promotions and transfers are completed before March every year so that the children of defence personals get admissions at new places before the start of the academic session. In our Dept. nobody bothers and cares about it. In view of above facts a considered decision was taken by the Gujarat Unit to request all the units of ITGOA to call for an Extra Ordinary General Body Meeting so that the Leaders of the Central HQ get an opportunity to come clean if they are so. Also this would provide a golden opportunity to the leaders to interact directly with the members of the association and to explain about the pains that they might have taken for the welfare of the members instead of propagating their achievements through indirect sources.
3. Dear friend, we also partially agree with your observation “the delay in DPC was on account of various factors which were not always in our control all the time”. All the “various factors” however are never made known to the members by the leaders. The leaders are really not in control of the situation in letter and spirit otherwise they would not have taken hundreds of rounds (as they claim) to the CBDT with no concrete outcome except spreading rumors about the dates of DPC (remember, 12th to 14th May at Mumbai ! Humm!). Now one more rumor is being spread that proposal would be sent by 31st May and DPC would be conducted by 15th June. There is no basis of this rumor as there is no movement of any file in CBDT regarding our promotion matter.
4. In para 3 of your mail you have stated that members of your unit have not advocated any precipitative action despite their anger, frustration, disappointment etc. Here we would like to clarify that we too in our letters have never advocated for any precipitative action except calling for an EGM where our leaders could explain the cause of inordinate delay of DPC and steps taken by them in the course of more that 100 visits to Delhi.
5. In para 6 of your mail you have asked us to elaborate on the issue of emotional detachment of ITGOA. In this regard it is once again regretfully stated that not a single Member of the Central HQ of ITGOA has cared to give any explanation/reply in regard to issues raised in our letters dated 17-05-2010, which was signed by 43 ITOs of Gujarat Region, who are in Consideration Zone for promotion to the cadre of ACIT. Besides, large number of officers of Gujarat Region as well as other Regions too shared the same feelings, which are expressed in our letter wherein following questions were raised.
1. Details and copies of correspondence made with CBDT and Office of the ADVI since April 2009 onwards with reference to DPC for posts of ACsIT for review DPC for RY 2008-09 and regular DPC for RY 2009-10.
2. Details of meetings held with Chairman CBDT, the Member P & V and the Under Secretary AD VI right from April 2009 onwards since we have been told again and again that Secretary General ITGOA has visited New Delhi more than 100 times in the last one year.
3. Date on which the composite proposal for DPC was initially sent to UPSC.
4. Date wise details of queries raised by the UPSC on DPC proposal and replies given by the CBDT/ AD-VI in this regard with documentary evidences.
5. Evidence regarding efforts made by the ITGOA for resolving the queries raised by the UPSC.
6. What action is being proposed to be taken by the ITGOA against the Officials who are responsible for sending defective proposals time and again.
7. What action ITGOA proposes to take against CBDT for their callous behavior for delaying the DPC.
8. Efforts made by the ITGOA to get the responsibility fixed for the inordinate delay for conducting the DPC which is in total contravention of rules framed by the UPSC.
9. Whether ITGOA has agreed for the impending Cadre Review of the Department and if so what steps have been taken by ITGOA to ensure that all existing vacancies are filled before given effect to the Cadre Review?
What more elaboration of emotional detachment is required on it as reply to not a single question is received till date. Not only this, nobody has cared to even talk to us also. In fact had our leaders briefed all its members of the efforts being made by them for an early DPC and difficulties being actually faced by them, we would not have bothered Gentleman like you by sending email etc.
6. We have repeatedly referred back our earlier mail with the specific purpose of finding out precisely what it was which could be termed as Derogatory or Defamatory. Non of the members of the ITGOA, Gujarat Unit have been successful in such identification. Hence you may please identify the same and communicate with us. In fact there is nothing in the Email which could even border upon the derogatory or defamatory. As regards the telephone calls, the same were made by the members of ITGOA, Gujarat Unit for the limited purpose of confirming whether Email and FAX sent have been received or not. We feel there is nothing derogatory or defamatory in just confirming the receipt of a mail or fax from an office bearer of ITGOA. As regards the Emails being sent to your personal address we think you are forgetting that it is the official Web-site of ITGOA which carries the email addresses of office bearers of all units of ITGOA. It is from this site only that the addresses were retrieved and mails were sent to office bearers of all state units. Non of the office bearer, except only you, have objected to it. The office bearers of all states units, Except only you, have welcomed our movement and promised to extend their support also. As regards our identification you are once again forgetting and ignoring the fact that our mail and fax letters dated 17-05-2010 were duly accompanied with names and signatures of all the members of ITGOA, Gujarat Unit. In fact we would be pleased to know the names of the members of ITGOA, Tamil Nadu & Pondicherry Unit who have resigned themselves to their fate by supporting the views expressed in your mail. It may further be mentioned that the remark made by you in your previous mail stating our action of calling for an EGM as “Reactive and chivalrous approach against our leadership” can also be termed as Derogatory and Defamatory however we won’t proceed legally on it as it would defeat our purpose and in turn help those who are against an early DPC.
Wishing you all the best.
ITO’s of Gujarat Region
