Nawanshahr- Purani Pension Bahali Sangharsh Committee and CPF Employees Union had planned to jointly take out a flag march against the violation of the contract made with the employees of the Punjab Government in view of the Ludhiana West elections.
A convoy of 10 cars and 15 motorcycles left for Ludhiana under the leadership of District Convener of Purani Pension Bahali Sangharsh Committee Gurdayal Mann, Baljinder Virk of ETT Union, Jujhar Sanghuhra B.Ed Front and Pargat Singh Patwar Union to join this flag march.
Giving information to the press, the leaders said that before coming to power, the Punjab government had promised about two lakh employees affected by the new pension scheme of Punjab that if the Aam Aadmi Party government comes to power in Punjab, the old pension of the employees will be restored during the first session itself. It has been about three years since the government was formed, but the government has given nothing to the employees except bribe in the name of old pension.
Fed up with this, NPS employees today protested against the government's breach of promise and are going to make voters and people of Ludhiana West aware of the government's failures by organizing a flag march in late summer. Besides, the innocent people of Punjab will also be made aware of the promises made by Aam Aadmi Party leaders and posters will be distributed door-to-door so that they press the vote button after thinking carefully.
Among others present on the occasion were Balkar Chand, Ram Lal, Bhupinder Lal, Jaswant Singh Fauji, Gurdeep Singh, Satish Navan Gran, Surinder Chuchewal, Bhupinder Singh Mukandpur, Ashok Pathlawa, Sudesh Dewan, Ajit Singh Gulpur, Anmit Jagota, Som Nath Saroya, Jasvir Singh, Raj Kumar Jandi, Sarabjit Singh, Kamaldeep Singh, Raj Bhushan, Harsimran, Pradeep Kumar, Amritpal Singh, Bhagwant Singh, Shubham Kaushal, Jagir Singh, Lovepreet Singh, Pawan Kumar and Resham Lal.
