AIBDPA TN FCPA District level Dharna 09.01.2026.
Dear Comrades,
We all are in hectic preparation for making the Dharna on 9th January 2026 a great success, called for by the Forum of Civil Pensioners Association demanding the Central Government to repel the Anti-Pensioner 'Pension Validation Act' as also demanding modifying the adverse Terms of Reference of the 8th Central Pay Commission. This Dharna is part of the sustained struggles against the inhuman anti-pensioner, anti-constitutional attack on the pensioners which the Central Government continues with the target of completely destroying pension and pensioners.
About 40 Pensioners Organisations have already become part of FCPA and more are expected to join. All these Pensioners Associations in Central Government and Central PSUs are joining FCPA realising the draconian attack against the pensioners by the Modi Government. This may be widened later with the Pensioners Associations of State government pensioners.
Many of the Unions / Associations of Central Govt employees who will also be adversely affected when they retire, have declared solidarity and support to our agitational programme.
The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) and Trade Union International ( Pensioners & Retirees ) have declared support and solidarity to our just struggle.
Many Members of Parliament have written to the Central Government seeking immediate action on our demands.
Comrades,
The battle lines are very clear and already drawn. The government with their sinister move of destroying our lives and existence are on one side and we the Pensioners, who have served the Nation and its people all over the decades, are on the other side, to save their existence as also that of future pensioners.
If the government feels that we will surrender or run away from the battle field, they are mistaken. We are inheritors of the valiant strikes of 1960, 1968, 1974 and many other heroic direct actions through which many demands were won. Arrests, jails, dismissals, suspensions - we faced them all. The sacrifice of more than 30 martyrs during these struggles will certainly inspire us in future struggles.
Comrades,
Our succes in each programme mainly depends upon our mobilising the maximum number of pensioners in these agitational programmes. In the Dharna Programme tomorrow we should be able to bring all pensioners whoever are physically capable of attending the same. In future programmes also. Our hard won gains can not be allowed to be destroyed. Let us March ahead for a better future !
UNITY FOR STRUGGLE!
STRUGGLE FOR UNITY!
UNITY & STRUGGLE FOR ACHIEVEMENT!
