Dear Comrades,

 

PENSIONERS DAY. 17.12.2021

 

              As you all know, the Pensioner community in India observers 17^th December,  as the Pensioners day.  This is to commemorate the historical Supreme Court Judgement in D.S. Nakara and others vs. Union of India.  That judgement became historical and assumed the status of magna carta for the very many issues settled setting aside all wrong notions about pension and pensioner community.  The judgement categorically stated that there cannot be a mini classification within the class of Pensioners especially on the basis of a specified date.  It said emphatically that pension is not a gratis and assumes the meaning and content of a deferred wage.  It became an alienable right after the judgements.  If the present day pensioners especially in civil service has enjoyed the fruits of pension revision through various Pay Commissioners, it is only because of the said historic judgement.  The very concept of contributory pension scheme was evolved and implemented was with the main purpose of circumventing this historic judgement.

              On this this day, it is therefore appropriate to observe as  a solemn dedication and vow to fight along with our younger comrades in service the pernicious scheme of contributory pension scheme introduced only to please the IMF master. 

              The AIPRPA as already informed you to all has arranged for a webinar  today to bring home the various important observations of the judgement.  Kindly take part in it and enrich yourself to dedicate yourself in the ongoing struggles.

Pension for a dignified life is the world slogan raised on Ist October, 2021. Let us repeat it and reiterate it.          

              With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

 

KKN Kutty.

Secretary General.
