BRIEF REPORT ON DEMONSTRATION ON 20-6-18

Com S. Thangaraj, Circle Secretary, CHTD welcomed the members and leaders who are assembled for the demonstration of PENSION REVISION as per 7^th CPC. He explained our demand in detail and requested Com V. Rama Rao, President, TN Circle and Com M. Munuswamy, President, CHTD Circle to jointly preside over the Meeting. Com V. Rama Rao in his speech explained the demand in short and asked Com M. Munuswamy to speak. Com M. Munuswamy in his short speech welcomed the leaders and pensioners and asked Com K. Muthiyalu to speak.

Com K. Muthiyalu said that when DOT is converted into BSNL, There was a strike against it by NFTE and FNTO in 2000. Com Om.P. Guptha and Com Vallinayagam signed an agreement after the Govt assured them that BSNL Employees will get Govt. Pension when they retire. Thus the CCS Pension Rules 1972 Rule was amended under 37 A. We are now getting pension from Govt. because of their agreement only. He said that we are very clear on our demands. DOT Officers are initially confused when we raised this demand. When we explained the reasons behind this demand to them they are now understanding our demand. But still they are having some doubts in their mind.  Even 7^th CPC Chairman finally agreed that there is a valid reason in our demand. He said that he expected that 300 pensioners may attend this DEMONSTRATION. He is now very happy to know that 700 pensioners have attended this demonstration.

Com R. Pattabiraman, Ex Circle Secretary, NFTE, TN Circle in his speech said there are supporting orders from DOP&PW and DPE for our demands and we should persue the case continuously to win our demand. 

Com G. Natarajan, GS, AIBSNLPWA in his address said that we have achieved 78.2% pension revision, 60:40 formulae annulations. Like those things we will achieve this demand also. He said that he met DOT Secretary and other Officers including Member Finance in this matter two or three times and explained our demand.  They are all half convinced and but still some more meetings are required to convince them for our demand. We have given enough proof and arguments to convince them.

Com A.Sugumaran, VP, TN Circle congratulated our leaders efforts and said that we will win our demands finally.

Com Vittoban also spoke and explained about our demand.

Com D. Gopalakrishnan, VP, AIBSNLPWA that we are not raising this demand now new. We wrote letters to 7^th CPC when it is formed to consider BSNL Pension Revision also.  We met the Chairman Sri Mathur also in Bangalore and explained our demand to him. we also met DOP&PW, and DPE and explained our pension revision demand as per 7tah CPC. All are convinced that there is a valid point in it but they wanted that DOT should recommend and write letters to them. We also met DOT Secretary, Member Finance and other officers two or three times. Initially they were reluctant to accept this demand and when we explained the justification behind our demand they are now partially convinced. Our Bangalore Comrades, Com Gangadara Rao and Changappa met Sri Ananthakumar, Cabinet Minister on 18-6-2018 at Bangalore and requested him to help us to solve our demands. He assured them that he will help us to solve this problem. Com D.G. said that now MTNL pensioners association also accepted our demand and joined with us in this demonstration jointly and conducting demonstration in New Delhi and Bombay today.
