Though the Parliament March against PFRDA Bill is on 25th November, BSNL-DOT pensioners have started reaching Delhi to participate in the same. About 40 comrades from Calicut alone have reached Delhi today. More comrades are expected by tomorrow and next day. Comrades Ananta Bhattacharjee, President and K.G.Jayaraj, General Secretary of All India BSNL-DOT Pensioners Association (AIBDPA) are also participating in the March. Jayaraj has already reached Delhi.
The decision of the cabinet even not to accept the recommendations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on FDI cap, assured return etc. have further infuriated the workers. They understand that the government is determined to use the pensioners deposits for the benefit of the market.This is unacceptable to the workers and pensioners.
That is why a large number of pensioners are coming to participating in the march. My Hearty welcome to all of them.
