New Delhi: Old Pension Scheme: There is a continuous demand for the implementation of the old pension scheme. Some time ago it was announced to implement it in Rajasthan. After this, employees of other states are also demanding to implement it.
Now this demand has arisen in Tamil Nadu. However, it was attributed to the founding leader of PMK (Patali Makkal Kochi) Dr. S. Ramdas has raised it, but on this issue the Finance Minister of the state has said that it is not possible to implement it.
DMK had promised to implement the old pension,
He has demanded the Tamil Nadu government to re-implement the old pension scheme in the state. He says that the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) had promised to implement the old pension scheme in its election manifesto.
Targeting Tamil Nadu Government
In a statement on Monday, the senior leader said that Tamil Nadu Finance Minister has argued that it is not possible to re-implement the old pension scheme. This is a great example of the false promises made on their part.
Rajasthan’s example given to Tamil
Nadu Government He called upon the Tamil Nadu government to immediately implement the old pension scheme like Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal. The PMK leader said the armed forces and the Indian judiciary did not implement the new pension scheme as it was not as socially protective as the old scheme.
Ramdas said the scheme, which has been rejected by the armed forces and the Indian judiciary, should not be implemented for state government employees.
The reasoning of the Finance Minister was told nonsense
He rubbished the argument of the Tamil Nadu Finance Minister, in which he said that there are legal hurdles in transferring the money deposited with the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). Re-implementing the old scheme will put a financial burden on the state.
‘Don’t shy away from responsibilities’
The founding leader of PMK said that the legal hurdles that Tamil Nadu Finance Minister is talking about can be resolved by talking to the central government. The minister should make efforts to solve it, not shy away from his responsibilities.
