7TH CPC - CABINET MEETING CHAIRED BY PM FALSIFIED THE FACTS

In para 2 of the decision of the cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister published recently, the fact was falsified as follows, “In the past, the employees had to wait for 19 months for the implementation of the Commission’s recommendations at the time of 5^th CPC, and for 32 months at the time of implementation of 6^th CPC. However, this time, 7^th CPC recommendations are being implemented within 6 months from the due date”. (Copy attached- http://finmin.nic.in/7cpc/7cpcGazetteNotification.pdf). My first question is whether it is a cabinet decision to be notified publicly or a cheap political publicity tactics? And whether it is a statement or a “decision” and is it true? According to me it is a Gazette Notified false statement issued publicly as follows:

In the case of 6th Pay Commission, Report was submitted to the Government on 24/03/2008. Government decision was published on 29/08/2008. Time taken was 5 months and 5 days.

In the case of 7th Pay Commission report, it was submitted on 19/11/2015. Government decision was taken on 29/6/2016. Time taken was 7 months and 10 days. Yet credit goes to the present government for taking early decision. Actually it took 2 months and 5 days more than the previous government to decide on the issue, that too a totally simple form of CPC report compared to the earlier reports.

Therefore, it is my request to remove the false self-glorifying statement Gazette Notified in the guise of a cabinet decision.
