Dear Sh PG Gangadharan
LIC PENSIONERS CALICUT blog had carried excerpts of a circular issued by Federation of Class I Officers Associations. While all have the right to express anything and everything, but before making any sarcastic remarks one must see below his belt.
The court cases have definitely given the pensioners all hopes. May I ask the Fed of Cl. I officers what they have GIVEN and done to get the retiral benefits. If they have a solution (other than court) why they have not been able to get anything from the management ? They should have got and all will be happy and obliged too to them for the same. But by simply making excuses and blaming others is not going to get them any thing, except some ego satisfaction to the leaders and a pat from the management. Such moves do more harm to the common cause.
All employees will appreciate if LIC gives RETIRAL benefits which it can give using their powers, but every body also knows that without any signal from the FM, LIC is an impotent body now as far as employees retiral bnefits are concerned.
So friends think practically and have patience, hope and faith in the judiciary. UNITEDLY PENSIONERS WILL GET FULL JUSTICE AT THE HANDS OF HC/SC AND THE TIME IS NOT FAR OFF WHEN WE ALL WILL ENJOY THE FRUITS OF THE LONG AND DETERMINED LEGAL BATTLE BEING SUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT BY SH KML ASTHANA AND OTHERS FOR THE LAST OVER 15 YRS.
With best wishes and regards
