I am responding to BR Mehta's call for learned friends to express their
independent views. Yes the course for united approach on 12th Aug is the
best, provided BR Mehta and his friends bring Chandigarh leaders
on board and break ice with Jaipur leaders, ARIEF President and
Secretary and and sell the idea of a united approach to all stake holders
concerned. As this meet has to take place on an emergency basis so as to
prevent LIC/GOI from seeking adjournment on one ground or another,
Leaders like RBK and others should join in the attempt to bring all stake
holders to the platform. Unfortunately there appears to be no move
towards this so far.
I appeal to all to realise the urgency and the need for an united fight in
view of the fact that half our pensioner friends have left us and the rate
of losing others would be at a faster rate due to advanced age and its
consequences. HOPE THINGS MOVE FAST IN THIS DIRECTION.
