Trade Unions are more than willing to embrace the IT employees.

United employees can rake up the issue with Govt. Employee’s is a big community and huge vote bank that NO party/Govt can ignore.

well elaborated by Mr Kumar Doab.

The question fully explained by expert  Mr. Kumar Doab.  You may verify the company leave rules and decide about further course of action in this regard.  In general the private sector companies are to comply with the Government's decision on the issues of national importance, but in our country, the private companies will speak of their own laws or the laws of other countries namely, US, UK etc when such aspects are being taken up.  Therefore, please get to know the company's leave rules and regulations especially on maternity leave, take the advise of a lawyer and issue a legal  notice if warranted.
