Online petition against proposed pay hike for MPs
Vity-Based Sajag Nagrik Manch on Tuesday launched an online petition opposing the plan to hike salaries of Members of Parliament (MPs).On its first day, www.petitiononline.com received over a hundred signatures.
President of the Manch Vivek Velankar said: “Common citizens have been facing many hardships over the last year owing to inflation. It is becoming increasingly difficult to make ends meet. Setting aside the 5 per cent in the organised sector, 95 per cent have no scope of increasing their earnings. In this backdrop, the MPs have been getting decent salaries, not to mention the allowances. It is unethical to even think of a salary hike for them at this juncture. The proposal can only be likened to Nero playing the fiddle when Rome was burning.”“The online petition will be active for four-five days and then sent to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and leaders of the major political parties,” Velankar added.
