A notification has been issued to deduct 10% from the salary of many people for April 2019. The matter is unreasonable, inhumane and nothing more than cheating many people. A• It is known that such steps are being taken to resolve the retirement allowance of retired teachers. According to sources in the Ministry of Information, currently 24353 retirement allowance applications are pending. 1759 crore 25 lakh taka is required to resolve these applications. In the 2018-2019 budget, a grant of 532 crore taka has been received to resolve this problem. 128 crore taka is deposited as FDR. 216 crore taka is deposited as STD, a total of 532+128+216=876 crore taka. With this money, it is possible to resolve the retirement allowance file until June 2017. However, the government is still stuck in 2015. The problem will be solved if another grant is received in the 2019-2020 financial year to resolve the remaining 9,000 applications. But the government, like the last budget, will solve the problem by allocating money in the 2019-2020 budget and stopping the deduction of 10%, but instead of doing so, it is forcing the deduction of 10% in advance. The matter is mysterious.
B•The government has taken up a plan to transform the country into a middle-income country (per capita income of $2000) by 2021 and a high-income country (per capita income of $10000) by 2041. For this, the government has taken a plan to transform the population into a public asset. The question is who will transform this population into a public asset? Certainly teachers. So, there are 3 months left for the new budget to come. In whose interest is the current 10% cut without solving the retirement allowance problem in the new budget?
C• The salary of a teacher under MPO is less than that of a primary school peon. The salary that is received is exhausted within 20 days of the month, and the remaining 10 days are spent on buying salt. They are deceiving more than 5.5 lakh people by deciding to deduct 10% in the next 3 months of the 2019-20 financial year without solving their retirement problem.
4• On the other hand, it is known that the government needs additional money of about 360 crore taka to prevent the 4% additional money deduction (information from the Ministry of Finance). In the budget of the 2018-2019 fiscal year, 500 crore taka was allocated for 5% increment and 20% Baisakhi allowance for 38262 MPO-affiliated institutions. The expenditure was 400 crore 84 lakhs + 133 crores = 600 crore 45 lakhs taka respectively. Even though there was an excess of 145 crore taka, it was easily resolved. If such a huge problem could be solved in the last budget, could it not have been solved in the new budget after 3 months? The unjust decision to cut 10% without doing so.
E• Before the national elections, the 10% deduction was postponed. Because the presiding, assistant presiding, and polling officers have 90% more. The government is in power today through these teachers. And with them, is this one way attitude before the elections and another after, not a fraud?
80% percent of the country's education system is being achieved through MPO-affiliated educational institutions. The President, Prime Minister, bureaucrats-secretaries, and government policy makers of this country have been created by those who have kept all the benefits of the policy makers intact. Today, the best children of the nation, teachers, have been given an increment of 5% in the 2018-19 budget and 4% cut for no reason. Finally, the new star of the East, the conscience of world humanity, a rare humanitarian leader, a beacon of world humanity, a pillar of women's rights, a leading leader of the humanitarian world, Joan of Arc, Mother of Humanity, a charismatic leader. I appeal to the Honorable Prime Minister to provide an additional allocation of 360 crores in the 2019-20 financial budget and do justice to more than 5.5 lakh people by eliminating the 4% additional cut.
