Sir,
This has reference to the Editorial in the DE Dated June 5 in which you have expressed the utmost inner feelings of the Gazetted employees and put the finger on the right pulse. Virtually, the Govt played fraud with the employees in the name of launching a welfare health-care policy wherein the targeted beneficiaries were never to be benefitted. Identification cards have not been issued by the Insurance Company to all till date. The hospitals are not known to all. Morever, these hospitals are not in the list of known, reputed and fully equipped hospitals. Also, there is the dearth of staff and good doctors in such hospitals.
The highly educated gazetted class of employees very well understands the interior “motives” behind launching such fundas in the guise of welfare schemes. These are nothing but the tentacles of economic exploitation of employees and forcibly squeezing more than Rs 6000/= from each employee with zero gain but total loss. The policy benefitted only the top class in the establishment (Negotiaters) and the Insurance Company, but not the insured employees-the targeted beneficiary. Again, by making it mandatory (which should have been entirely optional), the Govt inflicted a great blow when the spine of the gazetted staff was already broken by the high rates of income tax (30% + 3%). It was a highly painful experience to undergo, such fundas of overt and covert corruption cause anguish and resentment against the Govt and all these grievances find expression when the forcibly exploited people stand before the EVMs to press the button. All such policies of the present Govt were responsible for its debacle in Lok Sabha polls.
Yours etc…
