LEGAL FIGHT IN CRUCIAL STAGE
NOW, OUR LEGAL FIGHT HAS REACHED A CRUCIAL STAGE. WE MUST REMEMBER WE HAVE TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT WITH A REDOUBLED VIGOUR AND FIRM DETERMINATION OF "DO OR DIE; NOW OR NEVER" SENTIMENTS TILL WE LAY OUR HANDS ON THE FRUITS OF VICTORY.
OUR RESPONDENT ('PETITIONER' IN SLP) IS A FINANCIAL GIANT WITH THE MIGHT OF THE GIGANTIC HIMALAYAS, NAGGED BY ITS MASTERS WHO ARE DETERMINED TO GAG US AND COMPEL US TO ABJECT SURRENDER TO THEIR DICTATES. THEN WHAT SHOULD BE OUR RESPONSE AT THIS JUNCTURE.
NEEDLESS TO MENTION THAT THE NEED OF THE HOUR IS TOTAL UNITY
ANDSOLIDARITY AMONG ALL PENSIONERS AND IN SERVICE EMPLOYEES
REGARDLESS OF UNION AFFLIATIONS AS THIS IS A CHALLENGING PERENNIAL COMMON PROBLEM AND CAUSE FOR WORRY FOR BOTH THE PRESENT PENSIONERS AND THE FUTURE PENSIONERS ALIKE AND THE ISSUES ARE TO BE SOLVED ONCE AND FOR ALL.
UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES I APPEAL TO ALL RIGHT THINKING PENSIONERS AND IN SERVICE EMPLOYEES OF LIC REGARDLESS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE UNION AFFILIATIONS TO EXTEND THEIR WHOLE-HEARTED SUPPORT TO THE LEGAL FIGHT AND CONTRIBUTE THEIR MIGHT TO SWELL THE LEGA LFUND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, AS LITIGATION IN SUPREME COURT IS A COSTLY AFFAIR. THOSE WHO HAD ALREADY RESPONDED ARE REQUESTED TO PLEASE EXTEND THEIR HELPING HAND ONCE AGAIN.
IT IS MY FERVENT HOPE THAT THE FIRST TIMERS WILL BE MORE MUNIFICENT AND LIBERAL IN THEIR RESPONSE TO A LARGE EXTENT. AS YOU ARE AWARE THAT MANY OF THE SURVIVING PENSIONERS ARE PAST 75 YEARS OF AGE AND FACED WITH THE CONSTRAINTS OF ADVANCING AGE AND FEEBLE HEALTH. SOME OF OUR LEADERS ARE ALSO SIMILARLY IN ADVANCED AGE. AS SUCH IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE PENSIONERS SCATTERED COUNTRY WIDE IN VIEW OF OUR LIMITED ORGANISATIONAL NET WORK AT GROUND LEVEL. HENCE I APPEAL TO OUR FRIENDS TO RESPOND SPONTANEOUSLY AS YOU KNOW THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF AIRIEF ON THE LEGAL FRONT WITH OUT WAITING FOR FORMAL CALLS.
WITH MY WARM REGARDS AND GOOD WISHES
