- Announcement of the state-level rally in Dhuri constituency of Chief Minister on 30th October
Barnala: The AAP government, which came to power by promising to restore the old pension to the employees of Punjab who became Indians after January 2004, is now passing the time by playing tricks.
That is why the Barnala unit of the Old Pension Restitution Struggle Committee of Punjab staged a protest in front of the house of Cabinet Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hair under the leadership of District Convener Gulab Singh today, and the Punjab government's excuses were lambasted. District Convenor Gulab Singh and Co-Convenor Daljit Singh in a joint address said that of course, the Chief Minister of Punjab has committed hypocrisy by tweeting to the Chief Secretary to explore the possibilities of restoring the old pension to mislead the employee voters in the Himachal and Gujarat elections. But until we are notified will continue the struggle. The promise of the AAP government, which came to power, has gone out of business by showing commitment to solving the problems and demands of the employees. Even after the passage of more than six months, nothing has happened without the help of the employees. That is why today the old Pension Restoration Struggle Committee Punjab is trying to stop the false promises of the government across Punjab.
