We are not begging

We are not begging

"I served this nation for 34 long years...

Every file, every policy decision — I put public interest first.

Every duty, every order — I fulfilled with integrity.

I never thought of personal gain... because I was a civil servant."

"Today, after retirement.

it feels like the very system I upheld has turned its back on me.

My experience, my loyalty — all forgotten."

"Voices like mine — of lakhs of pensioners — go unheard.

We served the Constitution with sincerity…

but now, its very soul is being violated."

"The D.S. Nakara judgment gave us equality.

It declared that pension is not charity — it is a right.

It ruled that pensioners cannot be divided by date of retirement.

We are one class. That is justice."

"But the Finance Act 2025

has broken us into fragments again.

It empowers the government to discriminate among pensioners.

Isn’t that a betrayal of Nakara’s legacy?"

 "They spoke of an ‘Amrit Kaal’ — a golden era…

But for us, it has become an era of neglect.

Those who gave their entire careers to building this nation…

now receive silence in return."

 "Is this the promised Amrit Kaal?

Is this justice for retired civil servants?

Has the Nakara judgment been reduced to a forgotten footnote?"

 "We stood for the Constitution…

We still stand for it

But when that same Constitution fails to protect us…

it hurts   deeply."

 "We are not begging.

We are asking for what ours is rightfully.

If our voice doesn’t matter… our vote won’t either."

 "To dishonour Nakara…

is to dishonour the Constitution itself."

 "Retired civil servants will no longer remain silent.

This is not just about pension —

this is about dignity… and justice."

“Our voices will not be silenced.

Our rights will not be bowed.

This is a fight for the soul of the Constitution.”
