LIC PENSIONERS CHRONICLE

Dear sir,

I have seen in the columns of Chronicle, a message given by Shri M S Murty much about my message in Chronicle. I must thank especially thank the Editor for the tremendous work he is doing for the past 2 years (as I know) to convey the feelings of pensioners.

I am always of the firm opinion that all the pensioners at the fag end our life should not criticise or comment each other. There are two organisations that are fighting for the cause of pensioners. I belong AIRIEF and I am having indomitable faith in my organisation and also in the leadership which I made it clear in the columns of Chronicle. I stand by it.

I am not a leader, I am only a member. I am only having enough experience in AIIEA and I learnt lessons from them. Our fight whenever it is absolutely necessary will always have a plan and our goal is always known to us.

To be in brief, Shri Srinivasa Murty announced his goal to bring Unity among the organisations.  I am happy with his move. He once visited Chennai and I remember that he met Shri GNS and also Shri RBK.

Suddenly, Shri Murty handed over a memorandum to Smt. Nirmala Sitaraman on our pensioners issues declaring himself (Sreenivasa Murty, Mulukutla) as Convenor, Representative Committee of LIC Pensioners’ Associations, I had a genuine doubt and inquired him what were the names of the organizations that he was representing ? Shri Murthy replied to dial him after 7 p.m. or give my number so that he can dial me.

• Mr. Murthy is my senior in the college and also in LIC. It is not fair on my part to give my number, so, I have not given. (A copy of my letter is also placed in the chronicle.)

Shri MSM ignored it and I am also not pertinent on my point as it is not a serious matter.

Shri Murthy made a mention in the Chronicle: NEW HOPE ON THE HORIZON - NEW COMPELLING NEED FOR UNITY OF APPROACH. Shri Murthy stated in his write up as follows:

I have sought time to meet and talk to Shri GN Sridharan on 3rd and 4th July at Chennai. No points to score. Only facilitation is the Mission. And persuasion, the tool. I pray for similar efforts with and within AIRIEF.

Shri Murthy made a mention of the two organisation Shri GNS and AIRIEF. I felt that Mr.Murthy is discussing with the leaders of the two organisations and I am very much inclined to hear it. But after reading the last three ‘paras’ of his letter I felt that I have totally mistaken.

• “If the selected small group to which his mails are marked is the other Party, let him and his friends know that I have written them off several weeks ago. Who is listening to whom even within that group? If they are not, do I waste my time to want to talk to them? 
• "Now, as you kindly suggested, let this questioning-specialist take the initiative to make his people sit for discussion, if he can. In jaipur, in Delhi, in Chennai, in Hyderabad or in Nuzvid. If it happens, all his questions will be answered publicly. He should also be ready to answer my questions. 
• "As to my Unity efforts, I am not eager to please anybody by doing or not doing anything. I am absolutely sure of what I am doing. Either I will succeed (most probably) and help the cause of Pensioners or I will definitely expose all wrong doers and their wrong doings seriously jeopardizing the Pensioners' interests. As I said always, I have my plan B and plan C. They will unfold when the time comes.” 

With regards,
