Certainly after reading a post from Sh.S.N. Murty at Hyderabad just today afternoon, I also decided to join this issue with my following views.
1.Yes, I also think that L.I.C.Pensioners are not confused at all.
2.Yes, certainly they are the victims of our present set-up or so called authorities responsible for taking right decisions at right time including Finance Minister, G.O.I. concerned.
- Insurance Secretary, our top management including Chairman/M.D.s having failed miserably to convince their bosses to treat ex-L.I.Cians fairly since they sacrificed their youth to build this organisation and above all so called judiciary which is even insensitive to senior citizens of L.I.C. Pensioners Community knowing fully well that many petitioners or non petitioners have left this world without getting justice. For example, out of 31 Petitioners at Chandigarh High Court who filed their Writ in 2010 for full D.A. to pre 01.08.1997 pensioners and pension upgradation to all pensioners on basis of every wage revision for in service employees, only 26 are surviving at this point of time and five petitioners including Late Sh.M.L.Gandhi being petitioner No 1 have left us just enquiring "Aaj Court Case ka kya hua".
3. Yes, our top leaders of different Pensioners Unions/Associations/Federations are also responsible to some extent for not fighting unitedly for a common cause. Banking Industry is a live example where all unions/associations/federations of in service officers and staff are fighting unitedly by forming a Co-Ordination Committee. Our division suits management/GOI which is a major cause of our victimisation. Perhaps, large ego of those who call themselves as the only champions of L.I.C. Pensioners may be a root cause for securing desired unity.
4. Yes, still we should be very much optimistic since God is Great and surely L.I.C. pensioners will emerge as winners sooner or later as they say in Hindi
Uske Ghar Men Der To
Ho Sakti Hai Magar Andher Nahin.
So let us continue to fight till we achieve our Goal.
