Taxmen withdraw agitation !!

As hinted yesterday the Joint Council of Action of the Income Tax employees exercised their "Exit Option" and withdrew the ongoing agitation. Practically, nothing has been achieved except mere formation of a committee to look into the just and reasonable demands of the taxmen. As many instances in the past, the leadership again succumbed in pressure of the administration. The rank and file may think whether to respond any such agitation call in future.
