Removal of 60% ceiling on government’s liability to pay pension and settlement of 78.2% IDA merger to pensioners are the achievements of the united struggles of BSNL employees and not the achievement of any individual.

NFTE CHQ website updating dated 19.07.2016, says that a grand felicitation meeting was organised for com. Islam, National President of NFTE, for his tireless efforts and persuation to remove the 60% ceiling on government’s liability to pay pension to BSNL retirees. It is also being reported that this issue was settled by com. Islam Ahmad, who persued it with a missionary zeal. NFTE, being a part of the Forum, has definitely played an important role in removing the 60% ceiling on pension liability, as well as settlement of 78.2% IDA merger to the pensioners, since it also participated in the historic 2 day strike held on 21st & 22nd April, 2015, which paved way for reaching a settlement on these two issues with the DoT on 01st May, 2015. As such, NFTE can feel happy about this settlement. Similarly, all the constituents of the Forum, who participated in the strike, can rightly feel happy and proud for this settlement. But, instead of projecting the settlement as the achievement of the united struggle of the Executives and Non-Executives of BSNL, it is being projected as the achievement of an individual. This is nothing but denigrating the united struggle of the BSNL employees. Comrades of NFTE should think about this.
