Minu: Momma, the story you told me yesterday was interesting. Now I want to listen what happened next; what happened to that journo-blogger. Did he face sacking ?
Mother: No minu. The general body discussed the issue.
Amidst ruckus, few emotion-laden members demanded immediate action against journo-blogger while some sought a thorough procedure prior to any step. They wanted both sides to be heard by probing committee.
A caution ran through: Any action on the journo-blogger will set a precedent, thus becoming case-law in itself.
Those who were hurt kept pressing for action. Angry words were hurled.
Another view came: Even if the journo-blogger has crossed his limits, there is no reason that union too follow his suit. The union should rather proceed on the matter legally.
The journalists union chairman carefully listened all the views.
Finally, he announced: “A committee set up to probe the matter has been asked to submit its report in 10-days. Till then the members should restrain”.
This satisfied everyone. The GB was dissolved. Everyone came out of the hall, happily.
meanwhile, narrating the story, minu's mother again sensed that her little daughter is already in slumber.
OPENION:
1. The elected body's stand is welcome.
2. The body has not just adopted a mature stand by giving both sides an opportunity to put their views, but has also appreciated and suppported the hurt feelings of members.
3. Even the decision of withdrawing hunger strike by agrivated journalist is welcome.
4. The maturity shown by journalists body as well as members has set a good precedent for days ahead to come.
