TN CM Panneerselvam urges PM Modi to use rural banks, post offices for cooking gas subsidy 

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Pannerselvam today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address certain deficiencies in the banking infrastructure while implementing the Modified Direct Benefit Transfer to LPG consumers scheme. 

In a letter to Modi, he pointed out that though the scheme required availability of adequate banking infrastructure across the state, people in remote and rural areas may find it difficult to access nationalised bank branches.(MDBTL) 

 "Therefore, in order to deepen penetration in villages, the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies and Post Offices can also be involved in delivering the subsidy, which would reduce the inconvenience. 

"In urban areas, urban co-operative banks can also be involved in the delivery of subsidy," he said and further urged for adequate banking facilities throughout the state.

EDITORIAL POSTAL CRUSADER DECEMBER-2014 

NDA  AND UPA

TWO  SIDES  OF  SAME  COIN

               New Central Govt. under the leadership of our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi has completed six months in office. As far as the common people and working class of this country is concerned, no positive action has been taken by the Govt. to mitigate their woes and grievances. Instead much negative steps are taken during this six months period.

                   Government has withdrawn the guidelines which controls the pricing of essential medicines through National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority. As a result, the prices of essential medicines for treatment of cancer, blood pressure, colestorol, diabetics, heart-deceases etc will shoot up in the market. Prices of medicines for treatment of cancer itself which now costs Rs.8500 may go upto Rs.1,08,000/-. Pharmaceutical corporate companies are the beneficiaries.

                   Government has made its intention clear that the number of gas cylinders (LPG) per year will be reduced from existing 12 to 9 and also to link it to Aadhar and subsidies through direct cash transfer to Bank accounts. Earlier UPA Govt. has reduced the gas cylinders from 12 to 9 but subsequently it has been withdrawn the order due to widespread protests.

                   Govt. has deregularised the pricing of diesel. Earlier UPA Govt. has deregulated petrol prices and now the NDA Govt. has deregularised diesel price. Petroleum companies will now be free to decide the prices of petrol and diesel. Even-now the prices of petrol and diesel in India are 40% higher than the prices in the international market.

                   Govt. has decided to allow 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Defence Production. Earlier this move of the UPA Govt. was opposed by NDA saying that it is against the national interest and security of the country. Defence production will now be completely privatised.

                   Govt. has decided to allow 100% FDI in Railways and also public-private-partnership (PPP). During his speech delivered in Australia Prime Minister has called upon the Industrialists of that country to country to invest in Indian Railways. Doors for privatisation of Railways is opened.

                   Govt. has decided to allow 49% FDI in Insurance sector. The bill for amending the Insurance Act for this purpose is pending in the Parliament and Govt. spokes person has hoped that the bill will be passed in this winter session of Parliament.

                   Govt. has decided to disinvest the share of all public sector nationalised banks upto 48%. Road map for privatisation of banking sector is drawn.

                   Govt. has made it clear that 100% FDI will be allowed in Pension Funds. The future of those who are under the New Pension Scheme will be uncertain due to Pension Fund Privatisation.

                   Govt has decided to sell the shares of profit making public sector undertakings such as ONGC, BHEL, coal India Ltd. etc to the tune of 25%.

                   Govt. has made it clear that Indian Post Office Act 1898 will be amended to facilitate grant of licences to multi-national courier services.  This will pave way for privatisation of postal sector.

                   While extending red-carpet welcome to the corporates and multinational companies, the Govt. has declared that all the labour laws which put hurdles before them will be amended. Govt. has already moved in Parliament Labour Law amendments to remove all the protections and rights now enjoyed by the working class including right to strike and right to form unions. 

                   Government has declared that all the loss-making public sector undertakings will be closed or privatised.  Air India, BSNL etc. are all in the hit-list.

                   Government has made it clear that its slogan is “minimum government and maximum governance”.  It has imposed a total ban on creation of new posts and for filling up of posts which are lying vacant for more than one year.

                   Regarding Central Government Employees, none of their legitimate demands are conceded by the Government.  DA merger, Interim Relief, Inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) under 7th CPC, Date of effect of 7th CPC as 1-1-2014, Removal of 5% condition for compassionate appointment - everything stands rejected.

                   Regarding Postal employees none of the 39 demands raised by Postal JCA (NFPE & FNPO) is settled.  Three lakhs GDS are still not included in the 7th CPC and their future is uncertain, Revision of wages of Casual, Part-time, contingent employees with effect from 01-01-2006 is pending before the Government from 2008 onwards.  Cadre Restructuring, issues of Postmaster Cadre, Accountants, System Administrators, MMS etc. all pending or rejected. 

                   It is in the above background the Central Trade Unions, JCM National Council staff-side, Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers and Postal JCA has decided to organise following agitational programmes.

1.      As a part of nation-wide agitation by all Central Trade Unions including BMS, INTUC, HMS, AITUC, CITU etc. has decided to organise Parliament March on 5th December, 2014 to protest against the anti-people, anti-labour policies of the NDA Government.  In the march they will declare future struggle programmes.

2.      All the organisations in the JCM National Council (Staff side) including Railways, Defence and Confederation has decided to organise a National Convention on 11th December, 2014 to decide future course of action for realisation of the legitimate demands of the Central Government employees.

3.      Postal JCA comprising NFPE, FNPO, AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) and NUGDS   has decided to organise a massive Parliament March of 20000 Postal& RMS employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks and Casual, Part-Time, Contingent employees on 4th December, 2014 demanding settlement of 39 point charter of demands.  PJCA has decided to go for indefinite strike.

                   NFPE calls upon the entirety of five lakhs Postal employees to participate in all the above programmes and make it a grand success.  Let us pledge that we shall continue our struggle till success.

வீண் பழியும் இலவம் பஞ்சும்

ஒரு ஊரில் வெட்டுபுலி என்ற ஒருவன் இருந்தான். அவன் ஒரு முறை தேவையில்லாமல் ஒரு கிராமவாசி மீது பழி சொல்லி பஞ்சாயத்தைக் கூட்டினான். பஞ்சாயத்திலும் கிராமவாசிக்குத் தண்டனை கிடைத்தது.

பின், வீட்டிற்கு வந்த வெட்டுபுலியின்யின் மனசாட்சி அவனை உறுத்தியது. கிராமவாசி மீது தான் பழி சொன்னதை எண்ணி வருந்தினான். எனவே, தன் பாவத்திற்கு ஏதாவது பிராயச்சித்தம் உண்டா என்று தேடினான்.

என்ன பிராயச்சித்தம் செய்வதென்று அவனுக்குப் புரியவில்லை. எனவே, அந்த ஊரிலிருந்த ஒரு துறவியிடம் சென்றான். “துறவியாரே! 

நான் இந்தக் கிராமத்தில் வசிக்கும் ஒருவர் மீது வீண் பழி சொல்லிவிட்டேன். அது என் மனத்தை உறுத்துகிறது. அந்தப் பழி சொன்ன பாவத்தில் இருந்து தப்பிக்க எனக்கு வழி கூறுங்கள்!” என்று கேட்டான்.

துறவி சிறிது யோசித்துவிட்டு, “இன்று இரவு மூன்று கிலோ இலவம் பஞ்சை எடுத்துப் போய் அந்த கிராமவாசியின் வீட்டுக்கு முன்பு பரப்பிப் போட்டுவிட்டு வந்து விடு. நாளை வந்து என்னைப் பார்,” என்று கூறினார்.

வெட்டுபுலியிடம் பஞ்சைக் கொண்டு சென்று கிராமவாசியின் வீட்டின் முன் பரப்பி விட்டான். பின் மறுநாள் சென்று துறவியைப் பார்த்தான். “துறவியாரே! என் பாவம் போய் இருக்குமா இந்நேரம்?” என்று கேட்டான்.

உடனே துறவி, “வெட்டுபுலி! நீ இப்போது அந்த கிராமவாசியின் வீட்டிற்குச் செல். அவன் வீட்டு முன் நீ நேற்றிரவு பரப்பி வைத்த பஞ்சை மீண்டும் பொறுக்கிக்கொண்டு வா,” என்று கூறினார்.

வெட்டுபுலி மிகுந்த ஆவலுடன் ஓடினான். ஆனால், ஒரு விரல் அளவு பஞ்சு கூட அங்கு இல்லை. எல்லாம் காற்றில் பறந்துபோய் விட்டிருந்தது. அதனைக் கண்ட வெட்டுபுலி திடுக்கிட்டான். மீண்டும் துறவியிடம் ஓடி வந்தான்.

“துறவியாரே! நேற்றிரவு நான் கிராமவாசி வீட்டின் முன்னால் போட்டுவிட்டு வந்த பஞ்சில் ஒரு துளிப் பஞ்சாவது இப்போது அங்கு இல்லை. என்ன செய்வது?” என்று கேட்டான்.

துறவி சிரித்துவிட்டு, “வெட்டுபுலி! நீ விரித்துப் போட்டுவிட்டு வந்த பஞ்சை இப்போது மீண்டும் எப்படி அள்ள முடியாதோ, அதே போல, நீ ஒருவர் மீது கூறிய பழியையும் அதனால் உனக்கு ஏற்பட்ட பாவத்தையும் மாற்ற முடியாது. 

திருப்பி வார முடியாத பஞ்சைப் போன்றது தான் உன் பழிச் சொற்களும். அவற்றையும் இனித் திருப்பி வார முடியாது. இறைவனிடும் உன் தவறுக்காக மன்னிப்பு கேள்,” 
என்று கூறினார்.

வெட்டுபுலிக்கு உண்மை புரிந்தது. அன்று முதல் மற்றவர்கள் மீது பழி சொல்லும் குணத்தையே விட்டுவிட்டான். பிறர் மீது வீண் பழி சுமத்துவதால் பலன் ஏதும் கிடைக்கப்போவதில்லை என்பதை உணர்ந்தான் வெட்டுபுலி.
