Rumours on 7th Pay Commission begin circulating in Social Media

“A copy of one fake document containing the matter related to the 7th Pay Commission surfaced in the social media yesterday.”

A crucial document containing the signatures of four members, including the chairman and secretary of the 7th Pay Commission was released on the Social Media, creating a buzz. The document, titled “Report of Seventh Central Pay Commission Highlights” contained the seal of the Central Government, stated that it would be submitted on September 1, 2015. The report showed three pages of the document. At the end of it, there were signatures, along with names and designations of four members of the Pay Commission, including the chairman and secretary.

The document also contained the recommendations of Revised Pay Scale Structure for all groups of Central Government employees. In addition to abolishing the Grade Pay Structure, the new minimum pay scale has been fixed at Rs.21,200. There is also indicated to provide a six percent annual increment.

There is brief information on HRA, CEA, Pay Fixation and Increment. There is no information about the person/s who had released the document. Most importantly, the information provided in the document is hard to believe.

The 7th Pay Commission was all set to submit its report to the Central Government towards the end of September, but the Centre has given it an extension of four more months. According to the government, the decision was made after the committee requested for additional time to prepare the final report.

For the past few weeks, the curiosity of Central Government employees about the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission has increased. This is reflected by the increased searches on the internet for any information on the new Pay Commission. They are eagerly reading up all kinds of reports, analysis, and comments on the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission on topics like new pay scale, promotions, and revised allowances. They are also expressing their opinions on such articles.

There is nothing wrong in writing articles about the 7th Pay Commission based on personal opinions and aspirations. But, there is nothing funny about producing a fake document and releasing it on the internet.

The class trade union Organizations of Europeaffiliates, and friends of WFTU, condemn the Hypocrisy of the European Union and the Governments of its Members states which is a provocation to all refugees and the working class of Europe. The EU, USA and NATO who cause the imperialist wars now talk words of sympathy for their victims. They are murderers and hypocrites.

Declaring their solidarity with the refugees and the migrants, the class Trade Union forces in Europe are taking initiatives and organising militant actions.

In Greece, PAME is holding a militant protest on Wednesday, September 23 condemning the hypocritical Summit of the EU on the Refugees and demands immediate measures for the protection of all migrants and refugees who are uprooted by imperialist wars and poverty.

In Cyprus, PEO organizes a campaign for Humanitarian Aid for the Refugees and will hold an event of Solidarity with the Refugees on September 30th.

It is reported in the Times of India today, 23rd September 2015, that a Class X Text Book published by the Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education, contains the following  sentence: “Working Women are one of the causes of unemployment in the country”! How stupid and nonsense! Does it mean that women should not work and should be contained in their homes doing cooking and other house hold chores? Does it mean that unemployment does not include women? Are women not part of the society? It is surprising such feudalistic and chauvinist ideas are being included for the study of  children.

The State and Central Governments should immediately act and remove such uncivilised, anti-women and sexist portions from the books which are being taught to the future generations. Tough action should be taken against the culprits responsible for including such nonsense in the text book.
