An Appeal to All General Secretaries

To,

The General Secretaries,
BSNL / MTNL Pensioners Associations.

Dear Comrades,

At the dawn of 2026, BSNL / MTNL pensioners faced the nefarious attack of linking payment of IDA / DR with the affordability of BSNL / MTNL, which was defeated by the united will of the pensioners.

The 12 All India Associations rose to the occasion and kicked back the foul play of the management.

The order issued by BSNL Corporate Office today curtailing our medical facilities is a new attack on our legitimate rights.

Discontinuation of the without-voucher payment of Rs. 1,000/- per month available to retired BSNL employees and their eligible dependent family members cannot be tolerated.

Further, it is reliably learnt that the management is contemplating stopping payment of indoor treatment bills also.

Hence, we request all All India Associations to converge to a common platform so that we can fight it out jointly as was done in the case of the attempt to freeze IDA / DR.

Expecting a positive response without lapse of time.

Fraternally yours,

R. Muraleedharan Nair
General Secretary, AIBDPA

CONGRATULATIONS

CHQ heartily congratulates all functionaries of AIBDPA and the thousands of pensioners who made the “CALL ATTENTION DAY” on 19th August 2026 a grand success throughout the country.

Despite inclement weather in many parts of the country, our pensioners came out in large numbers, held Dharnas, and submitted memorandums addressed to the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India at Central Government offices. This massive and disciplined response has once again demonstrated the unity, determination and fighting spirit of Civil Pensioners.

The overwhelming participation has sent a strong message to the Government that we will not accept any further delay in settling our long pending demands, 11-point Charter of Demands including BSNL/MTNL pension revision w e f 01-01-2017.

THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES

We must now gear up for the 3-Day Dharna at all State Capitals from 17th to 19th September 2026, and for the historic Parliament March at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi on 25th November 2026 to “Rock the Capital”.

Let us carry forward this momentum with greater unity and resolve.

IN UNITY LIES OUR STRENGTH

Fraternally Yours,

R.Muraleedharan Nair, General Secretary, AIBDPA.

19TH AUGUST 2026 – THE FIRST STEP TO ROCK THE CAPITAL

Comrades,

As per the joint call of NCCPA & FCPA, civil pensioners all over the country are fully prepared to observe “CALL ATTENTION DAY” on 19th August 2026 and to submit memorandums addressed to the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India at all Central Government offices.

As per reports received from various states and districts, our campaign is gaining tremendous momentum. Pensioners are highly enthused with the 11-point charter of demands, which includes the most vital demand of pension revision of BSNL/MTNL pensioners w.e.f. 01.01.2017.

All District/State units are requested to: 

1.  Ensure maximum participation in the Dharna and Memorandum submission on 19th August 2026.

2.  Send reports with photos and press clippings to CHQ of AIBDPA & NCCPA immediately after the program.

The Road Ahead 

Immediately after the 19th August program, we have to start preparations for the successful implementation of the 3-Day DHARNA at all State Capitals from 17th to 19th September 2026.

The CALL ATTENTION DAY is the first step. The 3-DAY DHARNA is the next step. Both are crucial steps towards the PARLIAMENT MARCH which will rock the capital of India at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi on 25th November 2026.

Let us make 19th August a grand success and send a strong message to the Government.

IN UNITY LIES OUR STRENGTH

Fraternally Yours, 

R. Muraleedharan Nair, General Secretary, AIBDPA

REVIEW OF PARLIAMENT MARCH

Comrades,

In spite of the inclement weather conditions in Delhi on 7th August 2026, BSNL employees, pensioners, and contract/casual labourers converged in large numbers at Jantar Mantar to express their indignation and anger against the anti-labour, anti-pensioner attitude of the Union Government.

Around 1500 comrades participated in the struggle with great determination. The Ministers and their political strategists are now working day and night to win over the confidence of the youth of this country.

The question is: 

Will the Government be inclined to do justice to BSNL employees and pensioners? 

Or else, we will be forced to intensify our struggle without any further delay.

Comrades, 

Now that we have successfully organized the agitation, it is absolutely necessary to conduct an immediate review. CHQ had communicated the minimum number of participants expected from each Circle. 

In this connection, Circle Secretaries are requested to send a brief review report to CHQ, including the number of participants from their respective Circle and the number of participants from AIBDPA. The report may be sent to the personal WhatsApp number of the General Secretary – do not post in the CHQ group.

With revolutionary greetings,

R. Muraleedharan Nair, General Secretary, AIBDPA, New Delhi
