**The meeting of various Pensioners Associations called by NCCPA on 10-06-2025, held virtually has taken important and enthusiastic decisions.

Com. Shivagopal Mishra, President, NCCPA and Secretary, JCM ( Staff ) side presided over the meeting. Com. V A N Namboodiri, Patron, NCCPA controlled the proceedings.

Com. K. Ragavendran, Secretary General, NCCPA initiated the discussion and stressed the necessity to fight unitedly against the draconian Validation of Pension Rules adopted by the Parliament in the last week of March, 2025, both legally and through stronger agitational program in continuation of the massive country wide Protest Action on 3rd April, 2025.

About 15 comrades, representing different pensioners organizations participated in the discussion and agreed to the proposals presented by Com. K. Ragavendran. Com. K. G. Jayaraj who was at Geneva attending the 113 International Labour Conference also joined the meeting briefly and wanted the agitation to be intensified and the draconian act to be challenged in the Supreme Court through senior and eminent advocate Kapil Sibal. Some of the Comrades opined that senior Supreme Court advocate Vikas Singh is equally good.

Finally, it was decided to launch a three phased agitational program ;

(1) Human Chain at District level.

(2) State level convention and March to Raj Bhawan.

(3) Delhi Chalo with participation from all the states and submission of memorandum to the Hon’ble President, Prime Minister and Chief Justice of Supreme Court. The dates of these agitations will be decided after consultation with all the Pensioners Organizations.

(4) A committee consisting of Com. S. C. Pandey and Dabbas ( NCCPA ), A K Kaushik ( RTOWA ) and R C Malhotra( AIBDPA, Delhi ) will meet both the advocates, Kapil Sibal and Vikas Singh to finalise the filing of the case in the Supreme Court. The huge expenditure in this regard has to be shared by all the Pensioners Organizations.
