Thousands of Central and State Government Employees Demand Restoration of Old Pension Scheme
Thousands of central and state government employees from across the country gathered at the Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on Sunday to demand the restoration of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS). They were joined by several opposition leaders, including AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, and farmer leader Rakesh Tikait.
The protesters expressed concerns about their post-retirement future under the New Pension Scheme (NPS), which was introduced in 2004. The NPS is a market-based pension scheme, while the OPS is a defined-benefit pension scheme. The protesters allege that the NPS is risky and does not provide adequate pension benefits.
The opposition leaders who joined the protest pledged their support to the employees’ demand for the restoration of the OPS. They also criticized the government for its alleged apathy towards the welfare of government employees.
The protest is the latest in a series of demonstrations by government employees against the NPS. The employees have been demanding the restoration of the OPS for several years now, but the government has so far refused to accede to their demands.
The government has argued that the NPS is a more sustainable pension scheme than the OPS. However, the employees have rejected this argument, saying that the government is more concerned about saving money than about the welfare of its employees.
The protest is a significant development, as it shows that the government employees are united in their demand for the restoration of the OPS. It will be interesting to see how the government responds to the employees’ demands.tunesharemore_vertadd_photo_alternate
