RESPECTED EDITOR,

| LIC PENSIONERS NEWSPAPER |
FIRST OF ALL, LET ME JOIN OTHER LEADERS IN APPRECIATING YOU FOR THE GOOD JOB YOU ARE DOING IN PUBLISHING ALL OUR PENSION RELATED MATTERS THEN AND THERE IN LIC PENSIONERS CHRONICLE FOR THE BENEFIT OF LIC AND OTHER PENSIONERS. FOR ME IT IS A PENSION NEWSPAPER : 24x7x52. DAILY I AM VISITING YOUR CHRONICLE FOUR OR FIVE TIMES; EVERY TIME I AM ABLE TO GET NEW INFORMATION. THANK YOU, SIR, ONCE AGAIN.

EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SMALL SETBACK IN THE LEGAL BATTLE IN OUR CCP CASE AT
JAIPUR, I AGREE, WITH OTHER LEADERS THAT WE HAVE TO CONTINUE OUR LEGAL BATTLE. WE ARE HAVING MANY PEOPLE WITH US WITH STRONG LEGAL EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE WHICH CAN BE USED TO FIGHT OUR BATTLE IN THE FORM OF GET-TOGETHER MEETING AT A PLACE OR IF WE FEEL IT IS DIFFICULT AT THIS ADVANCED AGE TO TRAVEL, WE CAN ARRANGE FOR VIDEO CONFERENCING.
I THINK WE SHOULD FIND OUT THE RIGHT PERSON TO DO THESE ARRANGEMENTS AND TO FIGHT OUR LEGAL BATTLE,ONE OF THE TWO OPTIONS IN WHICH WE FIND RAY OF HOPES FOR OUR VICTORY. FEW MEMBERS AND LEADERS ARE OF THE OPINION THAT WE CAN SUCCEED IN OUR DEMANDS BY CONTINUOUS DISCUSSION WITH THE MANAGEMENT. THIS IS NOT AT ALL CORRECT IN MY VIEW. EVEN RBI PENSIONERS AND OTHER BANK PENSIONERS ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR PENSION UPDATION AND FULL DA NEUTRALISATION DEMANDS ONLY THROUGH
COURTS WHICH WE SHOULD NOT FORGET. THEY ARE STRONG IN NUMBERS BUT THEY HAVE CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD THAT BY DISCUSSING WITH THE MANAGEMENT THEY CAN'T ACHIEVE THEIR DEMANDS.

MANAGEMENT MEN
ALWAYS READY TO FLY TO NEW HEIGHTS ! |
IN OUR CASE OUR present management DOES NOT HAVE GUTS TO FIGHT WITH MOF FOR OUR GENUINE DEMANDS. THEY HAVE SURRENDERED THEIR ENTIRE POWER TO THE MOF AND WITH FEW UNIONS. PENSIONERS REASONABLE DEMANDS FIND A LAST PLACE IN THEIR AGENDA AND THEIR FUTURE ASSIGNMENTS LIKE SEBI, UTI CHIEF,IRDA CHAIRMAN, MEMBER, NIA,OMBUDSMAN TOPS IN THEIR LIST FOR WHICH THEY DO NOT CARE THIS PENSIONERS SEGMENT WHO ARE REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A MASSIVE GROWTH OF OUR INSTITUTION.

THE SECOND OPTION IS TO MEET THE DECISION MAKERS OF THE GOVT. AS OUR RESPECTED LEADERS LIKE SRI RBK SIR AND OTHERS SUGGESTED. OROP WHICH HAS BEEN ACHIEVED NOW IS THE BEST EXAMPLE. OUR LEADERS AT DELHI SHOULD MEET POWERFUL LEADERS OF UPA LIKE RAHUL GANDHI, SONIA GANDHI,EVEN THEIR
PERSONAL ADVISORS,FINANCE MINISTER,PRIME MINISTER AND OTHER MPs WHO ARE VERY MUCH ATTACHED WITH OUR UNION LEADERS. REASONABLE AND GENUINE DEMANDS OF THESE ELDERS IF BROUGHT TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE THEY WILL DEFINITELY
HELP US,UNLIKE OUR present management, THAT TOO AT THIS CRUCIAL JUNCTURE OF PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION PERIOD TO GET OUR VALUABLE VOTES.
ONE THING I AM UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND. OUR DEMANDS OF REMOVAL OF DA ANOMALY AND PENSION UPDATION IF ACCEPTED AND IMPLEMENTED WILL NOT COST MUCH AND IT WILL NOT BE A BIG BURDEN AT ALL. WHY THE GOVT. AND OUR MANAGEMENT ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS AND COME TO THE ELDERS RESCUE. THEY ARE JUST HARASSING US AT THIS OLD AGE AND INCREASING INFLATION PERIOD.
ANOTHER THING: WHY OUR HON.JUDGE SRI CHOUHAN WHO INSISTED FOR SO MANY AFFIDAVITS FROM BOTH OUR ASTHANA SIR AND LIC, HAVE NOT INSISTED FOR AN AFFIDAVIT FROM ASTHANA FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF CCP CASE.
EXPECTING A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR OUR GENUINE DEMANDS FOR THE ENORMOUS EFFORTS OUR LEADERS HAVE TAKEN SO FAR.
YOURS, R.S.SUBRAMANIAN,CLEVELAND,OHIO,USA
