Losing Pension ? No one is losing sleep !
Times of India [ 09 Sept 2011 ] reports as follows :
Government will soon implement a decision under which, bureaucrats face,
a 10 % loss of pension for 5 years for minor cases of corruption
a 20 % cut for life-long, for major infringements that lead to compulsory retirement from service
Now which corrupt babu ( bureaucrat ) is ever bothered about getting or not getting a pension ?
Do corrupt babus ever depend upon their ” pensions “ to live a decent retired life ?
If anything, babus must be rejoicing and celebrating this news !
If they can keep their ill-gotten wealth, this punishment is peanuts !
Does Govt think it can fool 1210 million people thru such half-hearted measures ?
No wonder Govt has not learned any lesson from 2G or may be the new rules do not apply to Cabinet Ministers !
With regards
Hemen Parekh
Jobs for All = Peace on Earth
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS, LIKE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF FOREIGN TRADE, PASS PORT AUTHORITIES, CENTRAL AND STATE POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD AUTHORITIES ?
