May we win our cases, win convincingly. May God be with us.‏

The thought provoking articles by S/ Shri B.Ganga Rajau and M.Sreenivasa Murty posted in PC on 12 and 13 October 2014 were explicit- stated clearly and in detail leaving no room for confusion or doubt. The underlying ideas in those articles were dynamic - spirited, assertive, forceful to stimulate action. Soon the Editor convened a meeting of pensioners organisations at Bangalore on one of three days on 14 to 16 October 2014. The scheduled meeting could not take place. Pre- occupation of Shri GNS for Kolkata meet was one of the reasons. However, the underlying MESSAGE that was to be crystallised at the proposed meeting has been already made public/conveyed  in abundance through the pages of LICPC during last few months. The Message, therefore, must have been by this time imprinted on the mind and psyche of all the leaders. Shri GNS, for instance, has admitted at Kolkata that he is for removal of DR anomaly to pre August 1997 retirees ; he has assured he is going to support the updation of pension. Members in attendance want Rajasthan High Court judgement of 12-01-2010 implemented in toto. All this is nothing short of a grateful acknowledgement to the initiative and steps taken by the Editor, LIC PC . The Editor's mission to hold a meeting at Bangalore hasn't failed. There wasn't ' circumstantial luck' to meet.

        There is a phrase " Modus Vivendi " : an accommodation of sorts among warring/ disputing 

        parties to co- exist ; an informal and temporary arrangement in politics. The arrangement is for  

        the good of all the parties all the persons concerned. The arrangement may be continued/put on 

        permanent footing.

        There  is a sort of Pavitra Sangam of our leaders at the Supreme Court on 12-11-2014. The 

        leaders along with their counsellors/ advocates shall definitely rise to the occasion to act in 

        unison and speak with one voice, ' his or her  self esteem not withstanding ' in order to secure 

        judgement of the Apex Court in all the tagged cases in favour of the pensioners without any 

        further loss of time. 

        May we win our cases, win convincingly. May God be with us.
