Pension Parishad demands Rs 2000 pension for every aged

Savita Rath is in Jantar Mantar in New Delhi where she is attending the Pension Manch dharna demanding Rs 2000 pension to every aged person. She speaks to a lady from Uttar Pradesh who says there are 300 people from her state in dharna and asks as every govt servant gets half of salary as pension so why not the laborers. A member of Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan from Rajasthan says they also organised a 10 day padyatra before the Delhi dharna and feels each old person has right to live a decent life.
