As proposed, the MAHADHARNA to lodge our protest against the proposed placement of the bills related to hike in FDI in insurance sector and LIC (Amendment) Bill 2009 in Rajya Sabha for discussion and passing, was staged very successfully today at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. About 1000 activists from all the 4 organizations of BMS working in LIC of India viz. NOINO, NOIW, NOIP & BLIAS attended the dharna. Four MP's also addressed the gathering. They were:
(a)
Shri Prakash Javadekar, MP (Rajya Sabha), BJP and also President, NOINO,
(b)
Dr Murli Manohar Joshi, MP (Lok Sabha), BJP,
(c)
Shri Chandan Mitra, MP (Rajya Sabha), BJP, and
(d)
Shri Bharat Kumar Raut, MP (Rajya Sabha), Shiv Sena.
All the 4 MP's pledged their support to the cause of the dharna and further assured that they would always be ready to stand with the 4 organizations whenever need arose.
Memorandums were also submitted to the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister.
The impact of the canvassing regarding the dharna and finally staging it was instant - the Central Govt dropped the idea of placing these 2 bills during current Monsoon Session of Parliament.
