Striking a defiant note in the face of the Delhi High Court order restraining the agitating airport employees from impeding the functioning of airports, left union leaders today said the stir will continue and called on airline workers to join the protest.Asserting that the agitation will continue, AITUC leader Gurudas Dasgupta said: "We'll not obey any court orders."Addressing the protesting airport employees earlier in the day, Dasgupta criticised the economic policies of the Manmohan Singh government saying the centre was implementing the economic agenda of the previous NDA government. "It is old wine in new bottle," he added."It is not about withdrawing support for the government, but we will use our entire force to stop the privatisation of airports," Dasgupta said.CITU leader M K Pandhe informed the workers that the Prime Minister had invited their leaders for a meeting.Pandhe, who was part of the left delegation which met the Prime Minister earlier today, asked the AAI Employees Joint Forum leadership to take up the alternate modernisation proposal as the basis of their discussions.He also appealed to the employees of Indian and other airlines as well as other employees in the aviation sector to join the agitation, and asserted that the stir would go on till the privatisation process was not scrapped.
