CHQ heartily congratulates all functionaries of AIBDPA and the
thousands of pensioners who made the “CALL ATTENTION DAY” on 19th August
2026 a grand success throughout the country.
Despite inclement weather in many parts of the country, our pensioners
came out in large numbers, held Dharnas, and submitted memorandums addressed to
the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India at Central Government offices. This massive
and disciplined response has once again demonstrated the unity, determination
and fighting spirit of Civil Pensioners.
The overwhelming participation has sent a strong message to the
Government that we will not accept any further delay in settling our long
pending demands, 11-point Charter of Demands including BSNL/MTNL pension
revision w e f 01-01-2017.
THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES
We must now gear up for the 3-Day Dharna at all State Capitals from
17th to 19th September 2026, and for the historic Parliament March at Jantar
Mantar, New Delhi on 25th November 2026 to “Rock the Capital”.
Let us carry forward this momentum with greater unity and resolve.
19TH AUGUST 2026 – THE FIRST STEP TO ROCK THE CAPITAL
Comrades,
As per the joint call of NCCPA & FCPA, civil pensioners all
over the country are fully prepared to observe “CALL ATTENTION DAY” on 19th
August 2026 and to submit memorandums addressed to the Hon’ble Prime
Minister of India at all Central Government offices.
As per reports received from various states and districts, our campaign
is gaining tremendous momentum. Pensioners are highly enthused with the 11-point
charter of demands, which includes the most vital demand of pension
revision of BSNL/MTNL pensioners w.e.f. 01.01.2017.
All District/State units are requested to:
1. Ensure maximum participation
in the Dharna and Memorandum submission on 19th August 2026.
2. Send reports with photos and
press clippings to CHQ of AIBDPA & NCCPA immediately after the program.
The Road Ahead
Immediately after the 19th August program, we have to start
preparations for the successful implementation of the 3-Day DHARNA at all
State Capitals from 17th to 19th September 2026.
The CALL ATTENTION DAY is the first step. The 3-DAY DHARNA
is the next step. Both are crucial steps towards the PARLIAMENT MARCH
which will rock the capital of India at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi on 25th
November 2026.
Let us make 19th August a grand success and send a strong message to
the Government.
In spite of the
inclement weather conditions in Delhi on 7th August 2026, BSNL employees,
pensioners, and contract/casual labourers converged in large numbers at Jantar
Mantar to express their indignation and anger against the anti-labour,
anti-pensioner attitude of the Union Government.
Around 1500
comrades participated in the struggle with great determination. The
Ministers and their political strategists are now working day and night to win
over the confidence of the youth of this country.
The question
is:
Will the
Government be inclined to do justice to BSNL employees and pensioners?
Or else, we
will be forced to intensify our struggle without any further delay.
Comrades,
Now that we
have successfully organized the agitation, it is absolutely necessary to
conduct an immediate review. CHQ had communicated the minimum number of
participants expected from each Circle.
In this
connection, Circle Secretaries are requested to send a brief review report
to CHQ, including the number of participants from their respective Circle
and the number of participants from AIBDPA. The report may be sent to
the personal WhatsApp number of the General Secretary – do not post in
the CHQ group.
With
revolutionary greetings,
R.
Muraleedharan Nair, General Secretary, AIBDPA, New Delhi
Thunder rolled. Rain lashed down. And still, workers under the banner
of the BSNL Co-ordination Committee- BSNLEU, AIBDPA, and BSNL CCWF- held their
ground on dharna, refusing to let the skies do what the government has failed
to do for nine years: break their resolve.
Comrade Sudip Dutta, National President of CITU, stood in solidarity
with these fighting employees on behalf of the organisation- a reminder that
this is not BSNL’s fight alone- it is the fight of the entire working class!
For close to a decade, BSNL workers have been denied what is rightfully
theirs. Wage revision due since 2017- buried under an “affordability
clause” that punishes workers for losses caused by the government’s own
decisions: the years of denied 4G spectrum, the restrictions on equipment
procurement, the capital support that came too late and too little. Pension
revision, also due since 2017, remains unsettled even as courts have vindicated
workers on connected issues. TSMs and casual workers- some with 20 to 25 years
of service-are still paid on outdated 6th Pay Commission rates, denied minimum
wages, denied PF and ESI, denied dignity.
And now, “restructuring.” VRS after VRS has already halved
BSNL’s workforce since 2019. A new pilot project threatens to hollow out
services further- not to save BSNL, but to prepare the ground for its eventual
disinvestment.
Let’s be clear: BSNL did not lose to the market. BSNL was made to lose-
by policy, by design, by a state that poured lakhs of crores into managing
decline while calling it revival. The affordability clause is not a law of
nature. It is a choice. And choices can be reversed- if workers force the
issue.
Today, in the rain, BSNL workers showed exactly the kind of resolve
this fight demands. No storm-natural or political- will wash away their demand
for justice.
We say it plainly: Protect BSNL. Settle wages. Settle pensions. End the
retrenchment of contract workers. Stop the restructuring that serves privatisation,
not the public.
