ESM Charter of Demands

  • We vehemently REJECT the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission Recommendations (SPCR) as pertaining to the Military .They are most unfair, unjust and demeaning to the military. Status of the Indian military, which is already lowest, amongst all the democracies of the world, is intended to be further lowered by the SPCR. It is like insult to injury. Every Organisation and individual has limit of patience and tolerance. The Military has been pushed to that limit. Their discipline must not be construed as their weakness. Implementation of SPCR is likely to spread unrest and demoralise the Defence Forces.

  • We reject the ‘Review Committee’ as it is dominated by the IAS Babus, who have no exposure to the dangerous difficult, disturbed, harsh and exacting service conditions of the Defence Services. They just can’t comprehend life of Soldiers (term includes Sailors and Airmen) either in peace, insurgency infested areas like J&K, or in war.

  • We demand a ‘Separate Pay Commission’ for the Military, since there is absolutely no commonality between the service conditions of the military and civilian employees.

  • One Rank One Pension which has already been agreed to by the government, even on the floor of the Parliament, must be implemented forthwith. Similarly justice and sustenance be provided to War Wounded and Defence Widows.
