Sir, I really wonder what is mentioned there in the agreement.Why did you withdraw even before the strike was on?, when they have not given in writing , in the agreement, about the DACP at 8, 15 and 20 years. There was unimaginable support given by all sections of TN Government doctors for the strike, which in future may not be possible to mobilize, as you have betrayed those who supported the strike.The Government has played a good trick to thwart the strike and postpone its commitment and to make Doctors forget their demands for another 2 months or the TNGDA representatives have betrayed by doing some behind the screen bargain.What is the assurance that DACP will be implemented?. When you all said Central Pay parity based on DACP as the only demand, why did you talk about VRS that too only for selected clinical specialties.Who decides which are the selected specialties and rare specialties and on what basis. You should take with you representatives from all specialty departments from General and Dental side for representing the grievances before the Committee. What about resignation then?.It will be a mental torture for all of us till the things what you say are implemented because nothing is there in the agreement. Previously also you said that you have a paper signed by Deputy CM agreeing to look into our demands after the election.What happened after election everybody knows.Please conduct meetings at each and every Hospital again and explain what you have achieved before you withdrew the strike if not only to thank those who supported you. IF OUR DEMANDS ARE MET BY THE GOVT. SUCCESSFULLY HOPEFULLY AFTER 2 MONTHS THEN THE CREDIT GOES TO THE DOCTORS COMMUNITY WHICH STOOD BEHIND YOU, NOT THE OFFICE BEARERS.
