Respected brethren,
We have sufficient time to go through each and every column of variety of leading News Papers and understood the cause for the vehement agitations amidst the general public against the unethical and unreasonable approach of the Central Leaders in negating the demands of the aggrieved under some pretext or other. They feel shy of sparing time to sit, discuss and decide issues pertaining to long sufferers. However, they declare and celebrate in one loud voice like devotees in " Bhajan " that the subjects in our country have entered into heavenly life because of certain novel schemes introduced for the betterment of the Nation. They refuse to believe that they are confused and cheating themselves through these gimmicks.
Pensioner colleagues of Reserve Bank Of India are baffled to face the turn of events after the advent of the present Govt. At one time it was firmly believed that their problem would soon be solved because of the sincere efforts of RBI Governors during their tenure. Live Associations of all cadres are extending their full support towards DA neutralization and upward revision of pension. When will the ice start melting, it is anybody's guess.
Pensioners of Banking Industries, both Public & Private, were under the impression that the organisations of working employees would certainly come to their rescue in settlement of their twin demands during the current 10th bipartite settlement. To their dismay, the IBA has played the card very intelligently against the interests of the pensioners under " SUB-JUDICE FORMULA ". Now, the Pensioners' Federation has decided to fight on its own.
Our leaders have amply discussed about our predicament at the hands of bureaucrats, even after courts judgments.
We could hear several voices raised loudly through mail messages suggesting towards formation of United Forum representing pensioners of Public Sector Units / Undertakings ( LIC, GIC,RBI, Banks,etc.) to achieve other major common demands that are available to Central Govt.Pensioners / Family Pensioners. To give proper thrust over our other vital issues, such a united organisation becomes inevitable. United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Let us rise to the occasion and find ways and means to commence parleys with like minded organisations. It is food for thought. It is upto our leaders to take these suggestions forward.
Feed back from our activists will be highly appreciated.
Thanking you,
Fraternally yours,
M.P.Subrahmanian,
RIEA, Madurai.
