' Pension Dues '
Letter News Published = http://www.dawn.com/2005/04/03/letted.htm
My mother, Parveen Akhtar Chaudhary, served as a professor of chemistry at the Government College of Education, F. B. Area, Karachi, for 25 years. She retired from this post on Oct 10, 2002. Till date she has not received a single penny to her name as pension, gratuity, GP fund and even six months’ pay after retirement.
Her files have been moved from department to department across numerous bureaucratic layers, and corrupt clerks demand their own piece of flesh in expediting the process. More than two years have passed and she is now chronically depressed and emotionally distraught.
Is there anyone who can solve my mother’s case?

' Give her back her dues '
News Published = http://www.dawn.com/2007/11/18/letted.htm
The most enduring memory of our mother, Parveen Akhtar Chaudhry, over the years has been of her passionate sense of duty towards her teaching profession. She taught Chemistry at Bachelor’s and Master’s levels at the College of Education in Karachi for over 25 years.
Whether it was presiding over election duties or invigilating examinations, conducting classes or counselling students, she placed her duty over everything else.
As vouched by her colleagues, such was her sense of loyalty to the college that she would even return pieces of chalk back to her lab if one of us took it home.
When Karachi was witnessing turbulent times in the mid-90s, a lot of people advised her to switch over to some other college to be in a safer location, yet she was always optimistic. She would always remark that she was putting in this hard work so that she could be at peace in her retirement days with her pension. Ironically, our mother since her retirement in October 2002 is yet to receive a penny of her pension, gratuity and LPR dues. She had proceeded on a scholarship to Australia in 1991 and returned after several months without completing the course due to health reasons.
She was falsely implicated in a case of misusing government funds at the time of her retirement even though she was reinstated in her college and served for 10 years without an issue from any quarter.
Her case has been moving from department to department across corrupt bureaucratic offices which demand their own piece of flesh for redress.
The federal government has declared it a provincial matter while the provincial government deems it federal hence keeping the ball effectively tossing from court to court.
Having suffered enough depression as reward to her diligence and commitment, our mother now needs urgent medical care for she has a brain tumour and cannot afford to bear the exorbitant treatment.
Is it too much to ask from the education ministry that was served by this ailing lady for the best part of her life?
Is there a single law which can prevent somebody from receiving pension that they rightfully earned?
The education ministry is urged to put an end to our misery at the earliest.
