Recent Anti Pensioner Developments and Threats

After taking over of NDA-2 Govt on 26th May,
2014 and frequent announcements of Prime Minister. 
to focus on his priority " State must be Policy Driven ", 
we observe that new FM along with his Gujarat 
cadre IAS heading as Secretary DFS have recently 
decided not to allow pension upgradation in financial 
sector including RBI, Banks and Insurance. All of us 
know that RBI Governor has been conveyed of this 
decision very clearly when a bold R.B.I Governor took 
up the case of RBI pensioners with F.M. Can we ever 
think of similar initiative by our L.I.C Chairman ?

Next, filing of fresh SLPs by GOI recently against Jaipur High Court verdict in Supreme Court is another evidence in this regard. It is another thing that lot of valuable time was lost in raising an argument before Justice Deepak Misra about maintainability of these SLPs which stand already admitted.

And latest evidence in this regard is Record Note signed between I.B.A and all Unions for Banks working staff.

Now my humble question is whether all such recent threats have brought any change in working style of the leaders of  L.I.C.Pensioners of Bhopal/ Jaipur based AIRIEF camp or Chennai based GNS camp taking up current legal battle or even AIIPA camp claiming to be a champion of pensioners without any entry in legal battle.

My answer is simply not. Reason is that joint working front for legal battle or even otherwise is still a Mission Impossible despite very big and recent threats.

May I request our experienced and highly learned friends to further enlighten us on this issue.
