Madurai MP Su. Venkatesan has raised objection to Indian Railways filling up 51 vacancies in the posts of assistant loco pilots (ALPs) in Southern Railway with candidates selected through Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) of North Eastern Railway.
In a letter addressed to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Mr. Venkatesan said that the move had been made even as over 60 candidates were waiting in standby panel of the RRB-Chennai. While the RRB-Gorakhpur notified 1,681 vacancies along with 168 for ex-servicemen, the RRB-Chennai had notified only 761 vacancies along with 77 for ex-servicemen.

“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
