Thoughtless move.

The move by the Kerala government to hike the pension age of government employees and college professors is detrimental. The unemployed youths of Kerala would be in utter despair and sorrow by the thoughtless budge of the government. The present proposal is a backtrack from the earlier stand of the government that any decision about pension age hike would be based only on consensus with the youths. I want to know what consensus the government has reached with unemployed youths by this time. Raising the retirement age would affect a large number of educated unemployed youths in the state.

In a state like Kerala, increasing the retirement age would lead to a dangerous situation. And if retirement age is hiked it would lead to unforeseen protests and that will mark the end of the UDF government.
