BPS Secy general’s Inaugural address to NFRP Palghat General Body on 28.09.2013 Hounouarble dignitarie s , respected, President, Secy Genl , office bearers of NFRP Palghat, Leaders of fraternal organizations, delegates, ladies and gentlemen, I congratulate NFRP Palghat, its management, affiliates & members for having completed 32 year in the service of pensioners and wish NFRP all the success in their mission in the coming years. Ladies & Gentlemen, Ours is socialistic state and as such gap between have not’s & haves should go on reducing progressively. But here we are in the reverse gear, the gap between have not & haves is increasing progressively. Speaking about pensioners, Pay Commission after Pay Commission has shredded this basic fiber of a socialistic State. After every pay commission the gap between poorer & richer pensioners has increased either due to the recommendations of pay commissions or by the Govt. action thereafter. Abo
