Dear Sir,
I wish to introduce myself as an office-bearer of RIEA, Madurai Unit & the Unit was formed just 4 years back and got affiliated to AIRIEF in the presence of Sri. R.B.Kishore, Vice-President of AIRIEF and Sri. G.V.S.Mani of RIEA, Chennai Unit. When the audience heard the achievements of AIRIEF through the powerful speech of Sri.RBK, there was a big ovation and appreciating the hard efforts put in by Sri.K.M.L.Asthana in winning the twin demands in Jaipur Bench of Rajasthan HC, Madurai Unit had swelled with members' strength. Every member is fully satisfied with the way the court cases are handled by Sri. Asthana in consultation with the stalwarts like M/s RBK, C.H.Mahadevan, T.R.Madhava Rao, R.K.Viswanathan and a few more legal luminaries.
FACT remains that Sri.Asthana has never faced any defeat in the court matters in any stage, be it in SB DB of Jaipur Branch of Rajasthan HC or Supreme Court, in spite of hurdles from our own sister units. Their only motive is to demoralize our champion and sabotage his honest efforts towards all round benefits of the entire pensioners' community. Alas ! We only pity them when we see that they are fighting against the interest of themselves / their own families.
Having failed to tilt the situation to their favour, they have started hiring some other agents to intrude into our camp and create confusion. One such agent started putting forth his counsels to Sri.Asthana to take our cases forward. We foolishly believed that this gentleman has emerged afresh to lend his legal experience for winning our case shortly. But within some six months Sri. KML ASTHANA & Sri. RBK have understood the true colour of this agent and started distancing him from our activities. Naturally he must have got frustrated. Hence he has started blabbering that Sri.Asthana's legal efforts will not yield the desired fruits and that he is unnecessarily wasting funds, etc, etc. Knowing well that there are no takers for his so called Action Plans & Unity Moves, he has come out with his original plans of thwarting the moves of AIRIEF.
We know how to conduct our business. We need no expert advice from TOM, DICK or HARRY. Wisdom is in plenty amongst our camp. We have got hundred percent confidence in the leadership of our Organisation and the path chosen by Sri. Asthana in legal matters. Let him understand the following motto of our Organisation.
' WE ARE PREPARED TO SAIL OR SINK WITH OUR CAPTAIN.'
With fraternity, M.P.Subrahmanian, Chairman, RIEA, Madurai Unit.
