YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSeveral thousand government workers are in the streets of India demanding restoration of the old pension structure. The new structure has no fixed pensions. The movement that was going on for nearly a decade grew phenomenally across the country last year with multiple opposition leaders expressing their support. There were many protest events in New Delhi, the national capital, in the last few months of 2023. With the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government showing no interest in going back to a fixed pension model, the protests continue to grow. As Manjneek Kaur of the National Movement For Old Pension says, “Till we achieve our goal this struggle will continue again and again. Be it in the form of rallies, localised protests or in any other form.” TRNN contributor and video journalist Dipanjan Sinha reports from the streets of New Delhi.
