 The government employees in Tamil Nadu are persisting with their indifinite protest programs from February 1. They have been hitting the roads and courting arrests, but the government has remained idle and insensitive. After a week, the employees under the Joint Action Committee of Teachers Organization and Government Employees Organization started a 72-hour-long-relay hunger strike from February 8. The demands include a long-pending issue on the abolition contributory pension scheme implemented in 2004. The promise of late Chief Minister Jay Jayalalitha on bringing back the old pension scheme has remained unfulfilled, the Tamil Nadu Government Employees Association alleged. The government is alleged of providing only settlement during the retirement of the employee. The new pension scheme is nothing but a trash and the government employees completely denying and taking away the pensionary social security. In Tamil Nadu, though it is called contributory pension scheme, the Tamil Nadu Government is neither granting the world pension nor new pension to the government employees and they are giving only a settlement during their retirement. During the last assembly elections, Jayalalitha promised to look into this matter and to restore the old pension scheme to the government employees of Tamil Nadu. Yet, the government, which is headed by Eddapadi Pranishami, which is claiming itself as a mass government, is not at all heading to this demand, not only feeding this demand but also refuses to at least negotiate the demand with the striking employees. The vacancies in the government departments have continued to increase over the last decade with around 4.5 lakh positions remaining vacant. The AI-ADMK government also increased the retiring age of the employees to 59, citing the COVID-19 pandemic delivering a deadly blow to the aspirants since the unemployment is also remaining high. The government has not withdrawn the disciplinary actions taken during the 2019 protests after the Jack-to-Gio withdrew the week-long protest after the request of the Chief Minister. The government is also refusing to negotiate with the protesting employees, forcing them to intensify their protests in different forms. In the honest good faith, the Chief Minister assures we drew the strike and return to work. Yet, the government hoisted cases on our leaders and initiated departmental disability proceedings. For the past two years, we were demanding to withdraw all the cases and to drop all the charges framed departmentally. The coordinator of Jack-to-Gio and president of the S-12, president of TNGA, was victimized on his day of super invasion and was suspended from service. The governor of government employees association and Jack-to-Gio represented n-number of times to the government to withdraw all the cases, including against our state president M. Subramanian. Yet, the government didn't heed to the demand for the past two years and at the eve of elections to gain electoral gains. Now, Adapadi Palanisamy unilaterally getting some representation from the leaders who have not at all participated either in the strike or in the any agitations or put forth any demand received a representation and announced unilaterally that they are withdrawing all the cases, which is completely fraud on government employees and we completely they have treated the agitating employees in contempt and disdain.
