CIRCULAR- 08/10

President Com.Arun Zachariah, Secretary General Kousik Roy and Off. Sec. Com.A. Satish recently paid a visit to hyderabad especially at the back drop of lack of communication from leaders of different branch associations of Andhra Pradesh.
On this occasion a general body as well as circle committee meeting was convened by COM. Vigneshwar Raju, the meeting started as scheduled. Maximum members including present office bearers of elected body as well as previous body of AICEIA Hyderabad Branch attended the meeting. P.Vigneshwar Raju started the meeting and explained the circumstances in which the meeting was convened; reservation for the appointment of COM. VIGNESHWAR RAJU as Hyderabad Branch Secretary was raised by the office bearers, it was discussed that the All India Leadership attended the meeting without informing the Branch Representatives, for which Secretary General explained that the General Secretary and the office bearers had apparently joined another Association; though the Association subscription was being collected under the Name of AICEIA but no account of it is forthcoming; the DDO certificate were not forwarded to the All India. In these circumstances it was quite obvious AICEIA required leadership and COM. VIGNESHWAR RAJU emerged as one of the person who fought for the right cause amidst many odds. Healthy discussions took place between the hyderabad members and All India leadership regarding organisational matters. The national leaders have appreciated the work done by com. P.Vigneshwar Raju for the last one year and expressed that, without the single handed commendable efforts this, meeting would not have taken place and appreciated members for attending the meeting against all odds.

The following decisions were taken unanimously by all the members.

1. Making of baseless complaint to DGV against Vigneshwar Raju was unanimously condemned by all members.

2. The members also unanimously denied the support of hyderabad branch with other organisation as claimed by some individual time to time.

3. All those members whose names were figuring on the letter head of 'icestea' have openly declared that, before their names were published on the letter head they were not consulted by any body and their names were used without their consent. They have also declared that they have no connection with 'icestea' floated by a group of individuals.

4. All the members and office bearers present unanimously declared that they are members of ' AICEIA'.

5. The members also unanimously decided to go ahead with the annual convention to be held on 19.11.2010 at hotel Ashoka with the approval of AICEIA top leadership subject to the condition that the first point in agenda will not be taken up as it is already decided as at sl.no.4.

6. The members unanimously invited the all India leaders of AICEIA to the forth coming convention on 19.11.2010 to which they have responded positively and further stated that formal invitation letter will be forwarded to the ALL INDIA leadership.

7. It is also resolved that all the members of Hyderabad Branch are united and shall not give any scope for disintegration of unity.
