AJAY MAKEN BACKS CRY FOR SEVENTH PAY PANEL
With a little
over a year to go before the next general
election, the demand for a Seventh Pay Commission has started to gather
momentum. Union housing and urban poverty alleviation minister Ajay Maken has
taken the lead in endorsing the Central government
employees’ request for setting up of the new pay panel, citing the erosion of
real wages due to high inflation since implementation of the Sixth Pay
Commission’s recommendations.
In a letter addressed to Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh, Maken underlined how every pay panel since the Second Pay Commission,
barring the Sixth Pay Commission, were set up in the third year of the decade.
“We are again in the third year of the ongoing decade and Central government employees are justifiably looking forward to the
Seventh Pay Commission,” he said.
Recalling that
it was under Singh that the last pay panel was set up in 2005, after the NDA
government failed to do so in 2003, Maken, in the communication dated March 14,
requested that a decision be “taken on priority” for constitution of the Seventh Central Pay Commission.
“A notification for constitution of the 7th Central Pay Commission is
the need of the bour, which is bound to have bearing upon about 20 million
employees,” he said.
Maken concluded
by emphasizing that setting up of the new pay panel was in “larger interest of government employees as well as the (Congress) party”.
