Today
(23.04.2020) is a very bad day for the
employees community. By freezing the DA for serving employees and
pensioners the government is saving Rs.14,000/- crores Initially, the PM
released Rs. 15,000/- crores to combat Covid -19 we may recall.
The
Corporate Giants of this country discharged their responsibility in
a nominal way at this hour of crisis, by throwing a pittance from their CSR
funds (Corporate Social responsibility funds), who in fact have been,
clandestinely, taking away a major chunk of funds from the Annual Budget
every year.
Ratan
Tata may be an exception as he was said to have offered his entire property
towards the research and relief.
In
every Annual Budget these Ambanis and Adhanis get their lion's share by way of
tax concessions and loan waivers running into thousands and lakhs of crores of
rupees.
But
when it comes to doing sacrifices it's the poor government employees who get
scissored either by rejection of genuine and indisputable demands of PRC
like rise of minimum pay& upward revision of fitment formula or
Honouring hard won Arbitration Awards
There
are wild spread rumors that there will be two days of pay cut every month
hereafter till next July for Central Government employees.
Till
this moment, the government is not contemplating to withdraw any of the tax
concessions(including the recently reduced Corporate Tax which benefited them
to the tune of Rs. 1,45,000/-) crores given to the Big Corporates.
It's
estimated that approximately Rs. 14,00,000 crores of NPA are there with the
Public Sector Banks. The government never trouble these defaulter Corporates to
repay their loans and instead pressurise the Banks for further sanction of
loans at cheaper interest rates much below the agricultural loans.
Even
then, we definitely find some innocent employees even though they do not
hold any allegiance to a particular Political Party but
are only blind supporters of political personalities. These employees are
carried away by the dishonest speeches of the leaders though their
policies and programmes and by Corporate Media which holds 80% stake in
this country.
These
sections of employees don't even think for a while that the actions of the
government are detrimental to their own interests and hard won rights being
snatched away!
Finally,
it's time that we get further united and look forward for struggles under
umbrella of CCGEW
