Senior Citizens.

 Smt Jaya Bachan Hon. MP raised very important issue in the Parliament, for which we salute her for her speech  reproduced as under;

“Kill Senior Citizens.

Govt should kill all sr. citizens after the age of 65  because Govt is not ready to pay attention to these nation builders.

"Is it a crime to be a sr citizen in India?

  Sr citizens of India are not eligible for medical insurance after 70 years, they do not get loan on EMI. Driving license is not issued. They are not given any work, hence they depend on others for  survival .They had paid all the taxes, insurance premiums  upto the age of retirement ie 60-65. Now even after becoming sr citizens, they have to pay all the taxes. There is no scheme for sr citizens in India. 50%  discount on railways/air travel, has also been discontinued. The other side of the picture is that sr citizens in politics  MLA, MP or Minister, are given every possible benefit and they also get pensions. I fail to understand  why all others ( except some Govt employees) are denied the same facilities. Imagine, if the children are not caring about them ,where will they go. If the elders of the country go against the Govt in elections, it will affect the election results . Government will have to face the consequences.


  Srs have the power to change the government, don't ignore them. They have the life long experience to change the Govt.  Don't consider them weak ! So many  schemes are required for the benefits of seniors . The govt spends a lot of money on welfare  schemes, but never realizes about sr citizens. On the contrary, the income of sr citizens is decreasing due to reduction in interest rates of banks. If  some of them are getting a meager pension to  support the family & self, it is also subject to income tax. So sr citizens should be considered for some benefits :

(1). All citizens above 60 must be given pension 

(2). Everybody must be given  pension as per status

 (3). Concession in railway, bus & air  travel.

(4). Insurance should be must for all upto the last breath &  premium must be paid by the Govt. 

(5). Court cases of sr citizens must be given priority for early decision.

(6). Sr. citizens homes in every city with all facilities  

(7). Govt should amend the rule of scrapping 10 -15 yrs old used cars.This rule should be applied only for commercial vehicles. Our cars are purchased on loan & our uses are only 40 to 50000 km in 10 yrs. Our cars are as good as new one. If our cars are scrapped, then we must be given new cars.


I request all Sr citizens and youth to share it on all social media. Let's hope that this government, who is sincere all the time and talks of *"Sab ka saath, sab ka vikas"* will do some for the betterment of those who have contributed in nation building and are now past their prime."


 Please  share with your friends, sr citizens and well wishers. 🙏🏻
