“In this connection, so why action should not be taken against you for not attending the above mentioned event. You can reply to this memo within (24) hours after touching it. Otherwise, disciplinary action will be taken against you and your superiors will be informed if you do not respond to this memo (sic),” it said.
The suspended employees alleged that they were sacked without an opportunity to explain. They also questioned why a minister's birthday celebration is part of their job protocol.
