Genl. Secy. Adv R Vijaykumaran Nair meets Smt Nirmala Sitharaman and discuss our case of enhancing the family pension to 30%.

On the sidelines of a public function in the suburb of Trivandrum, self and Genl. Secy. Adv R Vijaykumaran Nair met Smt Nirmala Sitharaman and pleaded our case of enhancing the family pension to 30%. We pleaded with her that the sympathy and compassion shown to Banks and LIC in enhancing family pension may also be extended to us. You, as the FM can only help us. Her comments " Yours is a dried up well, we have been trying to pour water into by infusing substantial funds, but. no sign of improvement on your part." True ma'am you have helped us in difficult times, we replied, and this is the time you have to help the most vulnerable section among us, our families, as in the case of Banks and LIC. She just smiled and accepted our memorandum, without any firm commitments.
