Plan a unified strategy to present our case

Dear Shri.Gangadharan,
  • Reading ‘Pensioneers Chronicle’ has become a habit with me these days. Matters have come to such a head now that neither Asthana's camp nor Sreedharan's are refusing to see the writing on the wall. The inadequate provision made for the Defence personnel and non-implementation of RBI pensioners ‘approved in principle’ upgradation are pointers to the thinking on the part of the Govt. of the day in their approach and attitude towards the hapless pensioners. In the light of this and background and with a few of the High Court judgements in our favour, it would only be wise on the part of both the camps to bury the past, put their heads together and take a totally positive and pro-active action. Shri. Mahadevan is providing, from time to time, all the essential ingredients which would come in handy for our counsels while arguing out our case. The next hearing is more than one month away and should anything positive happen it is time our learned leaders buried their egos deep down and plan a unified strategy in presenting our case which will help us see the light at the end of the tunnel. Are we dreaming or will it be a reality?
With warm regards,
M. V. Venugopalan
