Dear Sh. Subir K. Mazumdar and Basudeb Das,
Many many thanks for your responses to current round of healthy discussions going on between two schools of thoughts between two different sources both from one common platform AIRIEF. Most common error in such situations is that same is taken as a case of infighting or disunity. Actually, my way of different thinking is that in a democratic set up all organisations can progress through healthy discussions amongst all stake holders. You say that it is an internal matter of AIRIEF and hence you have nothing to do. But as intellectuals from same community of LIC Pensioners, your views are very important and Eastern News Letter being circulated by you each month has crossed all boundaries and has become very popular and most awaited in all shades of our community.
I will as such request you once again to please think afresh upon following issues of academic
healthy discussions taking focus of Issues and not so called Personalities.
Under the circumstances when LIC Pensioners are being denied justice despite three different High Court Verdicts in our favor, need of hour is to work unitedly but unfortunately tendency is to avoid the same under false cover of Ego or baseless race for emerging as single entity to take the entire credit.

- You are a witness that Sh. Murty made his all cards open through PC that all three advocates must unitedly make a mention before Supreme Court Bench on 25th September for an early final hearing of all the three civil appeals from L.I.C.
- Our respected Asthana ji opposed this move openly and his chief devotee Sh H.K. Aggarwal advised Sh. Murty not to play games with Sh. Asthana ji.
- Result is that same mention move was taken by Sh Asthana one day before on 24th without taking other two stake holders into confidence.
And when I took up this issue, result is that I am described as a tool in hands of GNS/ Murty/ Management/GOI.
Is this a way for healthy discussion ?
2. AIRIEF decided long ago that entire expenses towards legal battle in Supreme Court will be borne by AIRIEF out of its legal fund. However, expenses on legal fight at High Court will be borne by respective Units only.
Now you see that our Panchkula Unit being very small unit just consisting of 51 Retired L.I.C Class One Officers as compared to Jaipur ( where hundreds of retired LIC Officers being there) taking care of entire legal battle at Punjab & Haryana High Court has not taken any money from any corner including AIRIEF. Rather, we are issuing appeal to our members/ Petitioners to deposit legal fund of Rs One Thousand each at least twice or thrice in one financial year and out of our such collections, we are taking care of our own case at High Court here and even remitting on certain occasions our share towards legal fund of AIRIEF.
Yes, we are thankful to AIRIEF for taking care of our case at Supreme Court.
Under such situation how an All India Vice President of AIRIEF and his chief devotee can justify their actions of legal fund collection in a personal bank account without any transparency in submission of accounts to any one in matter of such collections and under which rule this fund can become his personal property when he is already being reimbursed expenses incurred by him at Supreme Court by AIRIEF
This is an issue being raised by me for healthy discussions only and reaction from other side is that Just Shoot Messenger in stead of Reading his message.
