Good News! It has been informed that 78.2% IDA Pension Fixation has been approved by Cabinet. Press statement is also issued by Minister.
Our continued effort has seen results! The details will be informed. We thank all who supported in our efforts. It is a great achievement.

Not only the employees are opposing merger of SBT with SBI, but the customers also have started opposition on the ground that customer service and customer relation existing will suffer. This is fully true.

The government should retract from the anti-worker, anti-customer move to merge the banks.

It is reported that an Interministerial committee will shortlist the loss making  PSUs mentioned by NITI Ayog for closure / strategic disinvestment. It is also reported that the committee will recommend only noncontentious PSUs for closure/  disinvestment.
A serious struggle will have to be organised for defending the PSUs.

The central government has told the Supreme Court that the ban on SUVs and big/ luxury cars of more than 2000 CC diesel should be lifted since they are better equipped against pollution and the ban will compel the foerign companies  to go away which are investing huge funds in India. The  Attorney General for the government also asked the SC what authority it has
to impose tax on these vehicles which is in the domain of the government.

The central govt.is too sensitive when big business and foerign investers are involved.  Pollution and health of the people are of no interest to it.

NFTE and FNTO have not been attending the meetings of the  Forum for some time. The reason is not known. The Forum is the joint platform of BSNL Unions / Associations for fighting against the  anti worker policies of the government and for strengthening BSNL and its services. It is the joint struggles and  agitation by  Forum which sustained BSNL all  these years.
Taking all these in to consideration, NFTE and FNTO  should reconsider and  come  back to Forum. Forum has also  requested these unions for coming back.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” (Declaration of Independence 1776)

240 years have passed after the people of United States of America (USA) declared independence from the British rulers on 4th July 1776. The ‘Declaration of Independence’ is a well appreciated document.

During these two and half centuries, US has become the most powerful nation in the world. The collapse of the European powers like Britain, France, Germany etc. in the II world war saw the unprecedented rise of US, which was comparatively safe from the scourge of war. The collapse of USSR in the 1980s resulted in the unipolar power of capitalists headed by US.
US has travelled much back from its Declaration of Independence. It became a threat to many independent countries. Its quest for world domination has created conflicts in many countries. Its military attacks and intervention in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and oher middle east countries have given rise to terrorist forces, which has become a threat to the people all over the world.

If world peace is to be achieved, US has to change its policy of world domination and function with the Declaration of Independence and democratic principles, which of course, the common people of US also want.

Greetings to the people of US on 240th anniversary of freedom of their country from British colonialists!
