Imagine that, going without salary for 34 months where MNAs/MPAs salaries are hiked up almost every year, some poormen who are powerless have to go for salary-less for 34 months!
How many of you (employed ones) can go without salary for 3-4 months?
Isn’t there an “Ombudsman” which can solve these types of problems?
