Crucial Pension Bill deferred, TMC did NOT oppose

June 07, 2012 12:08

Apparently, the TMC, which had earlier objected to the Pension Bill saying it was anti-people was silent when the bill was discussed. The Bill was deferred today because of a lack of consensus.

The Bill, which has been stalled for years as political parties squabble over its provisions, was expected to be discussed by the Cabinet today, but it did not take it up. Sources say, with the Trinamool Congress is still dead opposed to it, the government decided not to bring out an issue that would expose fissures in its ranks just ahead of the crucial Presidential elections to be held next month.
