ReplyDeleteNow it is clear that IBA has taken the Union leaders for a ride, by not specifically including VRS retirees, though they have not specifically excluded that category either. Or all the Union leaders were a party to IBA decision. In any case, it is apparent that in India, the weaker can be bullied and agreements twisted or misinterpreted. The hapless Senior retirees are made to go from pillar to post after they were given hope by IBA themselves by way of 10/12/2009 clarification. The court cases can go on for ever, depleting the meagre resources of the old people ! IBA can now proudly and happily add to their insignia, the words "ASATYAMEVA JAYATE ".
Yours faithfully,
