I am very happy to see that the signatories to petition has reached 1244 now. The slow pace in the progress I came to know that lack of laptops and Mobile's with the vast majority of retirees and also lack of computer know how. They have to  depend upon their sons/daughters for online signature. And normally the sons and daughters are out of station for their  jobs. One retiree informed his helpless for signing due to lack of laptop. For this I have suggested that he can go to any nearby cybercafe for online signature. This was the reason for my appeal in my previous update with the retirees who had already signed to help their friends who are not aware of steps for signing. Also majority  of retirees feel that fighting for the rights leaders will take care and they are not interested to  join.  As such I once again appeal my brother retirees to come out of this  feeling and support the cause by signing online. I wish good luck. With regards... M Kamalakshsa kini
