Thiruvananthapuram: Minister Saji Cherian against Maryakutty who criticized and protested against the government on the issue of welfare pension.
The Minister said that they are not against Maryakutty, they should ask those who are chasing you and working behind you, whether they collected 100 rupees during your time and still did not pay dues for 18 months.
The minister’s response was while speaking in a program. Minister’s words-
I started thinking that I should not talk about politics. But politics is being told by the stand taken by the opposition.
In Kerala V.S. During the time of Oommen Chandy, only Rs 100 was increased from the Rs 500 pension given during Achuthanandan’s time. 600 to Rs.
Mariakutty is now jumping. They are my grandmother’s age. I don’t intend to tell them anything else. The minister said, “Why are you being so mean? You should ask those who are making fun of you and those who are working behind you. Didn’t 100 rupees add up in their time?”
When the Pinarayi Vijayan government came to power, who loves these Maryakutty mothers, how much was the welfare pension? 1600, the Minister said.
During the time of Oommen Chandy, the arrears were 18 months. Paid the dues for 18 months. After that, he paid for 122 or 123 months without any arrears, the minister said.
The minister also talked about the suspension of pension. 60,000 crores of rupees have not been paid here, and the arrears have come for three months. We are not in arrears, just give us the money to pay.
No bounty from the central government has been asked. The liability that arises when the Central Government does not pay Tarande to Kerala will affect the pension.
Salaries of government employees will be affected. Pensioners as government employees will be affected. Allowance of representatives will be affected. Construction activities will be affected. Life plan will be affected. Saji Cherian also said that Punargeham will affect the project.
