Seeing kanaiya being kept to the chest of a police man, I remember my old days in LIC. It so happened that the All India federation of Insc Employees had given a call of strike in parob. 1966 or so, . So all members of that Union had collected outside the LIC Divl Office Muglisara , Surat and were chanting slogans. Now there was another Union, Association of LIC Empl, it did not support the strike call of the Federation. and decided to attend office. I was member of that Association. We also collected outside, as the federation people were not allowing us to enter the office. So we waited for the arrival of police , our leader Chhotubai B Naik led us , when we approached the mob of the striking staff , they started preventing us from going into the office. Their target was Chhotubai Naik ( of Untadi village, the Desais are more known from names of their villages ) , now what ? The striking employees were very much agitated against us , particularly Chhotubahi Naik, and wanted to attack him and harm him. The police staff from Chowk Bazar P. St, came and asked us to follow them, we did so. But the strikers were bent upon attacking Chhotubhai , and so one police man just embraced Chhotubhai Naik , another kept close to him , and Chhotubahi was taken into the office. Now I remembered the face of that police man, who came under me at Vyara Police Station of Surat dist.,I recognised him after 10 /12 years , his name was known to be constable Yashvant Dagdu , I still remember his face and name...... Such an incident occurred whem Ram jethmalani went to demonstrate agaist PM Chandra Sekhar and PM's supporters were about to attack Jethmalani , but was saved by the policemen in the same manner. ----- We have to resort to this manner some times. here Delhi Police has erred in letting the assailants coming closer to attack kanaiya, and made Kanaiya a national simbol !
