It has been decided to jointly pursue the issue of setting up of the 7th CPC and other demands by all the Federations of Railways, Defence and the Confederation. Reproduced below is the joint circular issued by the leaders of the 3 organisations.

Dear Comrades,

As  you are aware, the Government in reply to a question raised in the Parliament has stated that setting up of the 7^th Central Pay Commission  for effecting wage revision of central Government employees is not presently under its consideration.  You will recall, that  a similar statement was made by the then Finance Minister, when the demand for setting up the 6^th CPC was raised by the employees.  The Joint movement of the Central Government employees, for which we created the platform of the Steering Committee of the organizations participating in the JCM under the leadership of Late Com. J.P. Chaubey, the then General Secretary of All India Railway men Federation could ensure that the Government rescind its stand then and set up the 6^th CPC.  The real value of wages determined by the 6^th CPC has now been eroded to the extent of above 100% due to the unprecedented inflation in the economy and spiraling rise in the prices of essential commodities.  While the Government permits wage negotiation and revision in the fully owned Public Sector Undertakings every five years, the denial to revise the wages of Central Government employees despite such large scale erosion in the real value of wages is absolutely unjustified.

The Government had been persisting with the enactment of the PRFDA Bill in the Parliament in almost all sessions ever since the UPA II Government took over.  Ironically they could elicit support from the main Opposition Party in the country for this ill advised enactment.  Lakhs of new workers who have joint in various organizations of the Government since2004 are worried of their future, which is forlorn and bleak, in the wake of the denial of an age old social security scheme of Pension.  We have been together opposing this move right from the day; the NDA Government introduced the bill in the Parliament in 2003.  However, our efforts, actions and objections have all been ignored with disdain by the Government. Though they could not muster enough support required to pass the bill in the Parliament, the Union Cabinet has recently taken the decision to allow 49% FDI in the pension fund.

We are to channelize our efforts through a wider platform of Unity. Efforts are on anvil to bring about such a platform.  In the meantime, we have decided to call upon all Units and Branches of AiRF, Confederation and AIDEF to organize Demonstration on 29.4.2013 in front of all offices and send the following telegram to the Prime Minister.

WITHDRAW PFRDA BILL AND SET UP THE 7^TH CPC TO EFFECT WAGE REVISION OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.

LUNCH-HOUR DEMONSTRATION on 28.3.2013 AGAINST THE THREATENING CIRCULAR ISSUED BY THE CBDT AGAINST THE AGITATING OFFICERS OF IT DEPARTMENT.

Officers and staff members under the banner of Joint Council for Action, will be holding a lunch-hour demonstration on 28.3.2013 against the thereat of vindictive action issued by the CBDT against the member of ITGOA who are on agitation in pursuance of their demands including promotion from ITO to ACIT. The CBDT instead of resolving the issues raised by the ITGOA has threatened action against their members which needs to be resisted with all the strength at our command. We therefore call upon all the members of JCA to ensure that the lunch-hour demonstration on 28.3.2013 in front of Aayakar Bhavan is made a total success.

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

Venezuela President Comrade Hugo Chavez Red Salute

Comrade Hugo Chavez - a true revolutionary mass leader

Hugo Chavez – one of the most famous political leaders of the contemporary world and the President of Venezuela has died. He was a revolutionary and he contributed for major and basic changes in the economy, politics and every aspect of contemporary Venezuela. He led the country against all machinations of American imperialism and consolidated his nation into a strong and independent country having close friendship with all other countries of his South American continent in particular. He showed great guts in nationalising the oil fields and liberated them from the exploitative grip of American Corporates and turned the gains to change the lives of poor people of his country. He had a unique style of building close relationship with the masses. He was a revolutionary leader to bring basic changes in the interest of the toiling masses. He built friendship with countries like Cuba unmindful of reactions from US Imperialism. It would not be out of place to mention that several countries of the South American continent asserted their own independent development and got liberated from the clutches of exploitation of American imperialism by drawing inspiration and leadership from Hugo Chavez. He was all along the best friend of working class all over the world who are fighting against neo-liberal policies of the world corporate houses. The US Imperialism tried everything in the book to unseat him from power but the love and affection of the people of Venezuela always defeated those designs and elected him as their beloved President of the nation. He was only 58 at the time of his demise that was caused by the cancer disease for which he was getting treatment. Not only the people of Venezuela and the Continent of South America but the working people of the whole world have lost their best friend and leader.
