Kolkata, Nov 27 : After Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced a hike in the salaries of legislators and ministers in West Bengal, demands have started cropping up from former legislators to proportionately increase their pensions as well.
Sources from the Assembly said that a memorandum on this count reached the office of Speaker Biman Bandopadhyay from the welfare association of former legislators on Friday.
In the memorandum, the former MLAs have made an appeal for the entitlement committee of the state Assembly to consider an increase in the pension of former MLAs.
