ALL INDIA CONFERENCE AT BANGALORE

23-11-15: 5.25 Hrs: SUCCESSFULL AIC AT BANGALORE:

        
Sri Ananthakumar, Honourable Minister for Chemicals & Fertilizers attended our 2nd All India Conference at Bangalore on 22-11-15 evening.   Our members gave him rousing welcome when he entered our conference hall. 
       
Com D. Gopalakrishnan gave a brief speech explaining mainly two of our major demands of 78.2% IDA Pension Revision and future pension revision in front of him. He explained to the minister that despite his earlier interventions our 78.2% IDA Pension Revision file is pending with DOT still and DOE is asking lot of clarifications on it.   
        Honourable Minister Sri Ananthakumar spoke for ten minutes. He told that he is going to New Delhi for the next Parliament session which is starting on 26-11-15 and told he will immediately speak to DOT Secretary and Secretary DOE.  He requested our leaders to come to New Delhi on  30-11-15 and meet him. He told that he will speak to both the secretaries before that date and complete the ground work and make some progress and improvements on our demands. He told our leaders that they can stay in New Delhi and peruse the case from 30-11-15.
    He told that his father was a retired Railway Pensioner and so he knows the problems of the pensioners mentioning that even his father fought for a pension revision. When he questioned his father why he is doing for this small amount his father told him that the pension revision is his entitlement and he is not fighting this case for himself alone but for the benefit for the entire railway pensioners. 
       
He asked our leaders when our next All India Conference is coming.  When our leaders pointed out that it will be only after 3 years,  he asked our leaders that we should conduct a "78.2% IDA PENSION REVISION SUCCESS CONFERENCE" soon and assured that he will participate in it also.
     Our leaders put up a demand to the minister for a office accommodation for our association in New Delhi by the Government.  He told that it is must for a All India association like BSNL pensioners and he will take initiation for the same also. He asked our leaders to use his office premises in New Delhi for our Association till the accommodation is provided by the Government  . 
     The Minister Sri Ananthakumar showed keen interest in our problems and he assured all his help to solve our problems.
     We now find a fresh hope that our 78.2% IDA Pension revision will get settled very soon because of the intervention of Minister Sri Ananthakumar.
