Dear Comrades,
We are reproducing below the reply given by the Hon’ble Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley in the Rajya Sabha on 19-07-2016 --
The Finance Minister has made it clear that “the
government is responsive to the concerns of the Employees’ Associations
and it would be the endeavor of the Government to ensure that the
eventuality of a strike does not arise.”
Regarding increasing of the multiplication factor, the Finance Minister replied that:
“no such proposal is under consideration of the Government, at present’
The
assurance given to the NJCA leaders by the Group of Ministers (including
Finance Minister) on 30-06-2016 is that enhancement in minimum pay and
fitment factor (multiplication factor) will be considered favourably by
the Government, once the proposal in this regard is submitted to
Government by the proposed “High Level Committee” within four months.
Hence, the matter will come for the “consideration” of the Govt. only after submission of the report by the High Level Committee.
In that sense, technically, the reply of the Finance Minister that “at present”
there is no such proposal under consideration of the Government, may
not be taken in a different manner and we need not jump into the
conclusion that multiplication factor will not be increased.
However,
giving due importance to the concerns expressed by many of our comrades
and grass-root level leaders, the NJCA will discuss this issue shortly
and take appropriate decision. NJCA
is keenly observing the move of the Govt. and any going back from the
assurances given by the Group of Ministers or any betrayal of 33 lakhs
Central Govt. Employees and 40 lakhs pensioners by the NDA Govt., shall
result in revival of the deferred strike by the NJCA and Government will
be solely responsible for all consequences.
