Sathyan Mokeri, senior Communist Party of India (CPI) leader, has asked the Kerala government to scrap the contributory pension scheme for government employees and bring back the statutory pension scheme.
He was addressing an event to mark the culmination of the Kozhikode leg of a State-wide ‘padayatra’ taken out by the Joint Council of State Service Organisations seeking demands such as scrapping of the contributory pension scheme and corruption-free civil service system, here on Wednesday.
Mr. Mokeri said the recent Supreme Court order asking the State government to give a copy of a review committee report on the contributory pension scheme to the Joint Council was the result of a long fight.
