PANJIM: Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant on Friday said that the government is ready to revoke the termination orders issued to the striking Anganwadi workers, provided they give in writing that they would not indulge in any “politically” motivated protests in future.
Seven Anganwadi workers are on strike for the last one month, protesting against their service termination by the Department of Women and Child Development (DWCD).
Speaking to media persons, Sawant said that he has already met the striking workers and has asked them to withdraw from the strike.
“I have told them to withdraw their strike and give us in writing that henceforth they will not indulge in any ‘politically’ motivated protests. We will take them back (in-service),” he said.
The striking workers later said that they were not part of any political protest and will never be.
“The government has asked us to give in writing that it was our mistake to go on strike now and before (2021)… and we will not be part of any protest in future… we are ready to give in writing if needed,” the workers said.
