It was on 17th December 1982,the Supreme Court pronounced the historic and landmark judgement in D.S.Nakera Vs Government of India case

declaring that Pension is not a charity but the right and pensioners cannot be discriminated on the basis of their date retirement.

This day is being observed as the Pensioners day and when we observe the Pensioners Day this time,challenges are looming large in the form

of attacks from none other than the central government to scuttle the very concept of statutory pension.The government haqs already decided to

allow FDI in pension sector also and they are going ahead with the PFRDA bill,determined to get it passed by the Parliament in the current winter

session of parliament.

Therefore the pensioners as well as the workers have to resist the onslaught of the ruling class with all their might.
