LIC's message to it policy-holders:
"Join hands for a plastic free, Swachch and Swasth Bharat. LIC wishes all a healthy and secured life on 150th birthday of Mahatma.We treasure your trust." (Sic)
Dear friends (the resigning ex-employees of LIC of India),
Let us pray to the Goddesses on this auspicious occasion of Navaratri, to din some good sense into the management of LIC of India!
Let the Goddess bestow on it, her divine benevolence and show it the true path of security and trust; way past all the usual rhetoric.
LIC has been faithfully betraying the trust of its resigning, ex-employees by willfully and unjustly repudiating their arrears; their hard-earned and legally rightful dues, since 1997.
How can they ever feel secure without their arrears and retirement benefits?
Or is LIC's trustworthiness and safety-net meant only for its existing employees and policy-holders?
A classic case of 'Out of sight, out of mind' and also 'out of the books of Accounts'?
How will the resigning ex-employees ever be healthy if they always worried about losing their hard-earned dues; and keep feeling cheated and betrayed by their ex-employer, LIC of India? After all, LIC is not even divulging the total amount repudiated by it till date and the number of ex-employees who have been short-changed by it! My RTI crusade is a case in point.
Mahatma Gandhi was an icon of trustworthiness, honesty, humility, integrity and truthfulness. A noble and exemplary leader! He never wronged anyone willfully. So we request the management of LIC of India to first walk the talk by paying all of us our long outstanding dues with interest and then invoke the great Mahatma Gandhi. Mere lip service is disgraceful!
Mahatma Gandhi was a barrister. Wonder how he would have reacted to LIC's Contempt of Court!
LIC has been willfully defying a Supreme Court's judgment that states categorically that LIC must pay the dues to the resigning ex-employees as these are their fundamental rights and can't be waived or bartered away. There can be no separate rules for different classes of employees. The Chairman has acted 'in overreach of his powers'.
Only when its conscience is clear, can LIC say that it is invoking the historical legend. LIC, please pay up immediately! That would be a fitting and deserving tribute to him!
Food for thought? Or is LIC on a permanent fast?
Waiting for LIC's actual commitment toward the example of Mahatma Gandhi!
Let us all vow to continue our peaceful Satyagraha for our arrears.
Follow his dictum "Do or die!"
Make Mahatma Gandhi proud of us!
Priya
