Rally held at Mohali, Punjab

A big 'Rally cum Protest March' was held at MOHALI (Punjab) on 18 May 2008 by the Military Veterans of the town, wearing black arm bands and some even medals. Though the area was under Section 144IPC but a prior permission was obtained. In the Rally the speakers strongly condemned the 6thCPC and its recommendations. The 'March' was led by Veterans wearing totally Black garments.

On reaching DC's office, a 'Duty Officer' (a Tehsildar) was to receive the Memorandum (as was tied up with the DC it being a Sunday), for the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister. Lot many slogans were raised against 6thCPC before handing over the memorandum .

When the duty officer showed reluctance to come down and receive the memorandum some PBOR wanted to burn DC's Office who with great persuasion were dissuaded from doing so. Finally an ultimatum was given that if he did not come down in ten minutes the disciplined Veterans would turn in to a 'Crowd' and he would be responsible for the consequences. Finally he came down and received the Memorandum amidst great slogan shouting.

Next Rally is on 25 May 2008 at Fateh Garh Sahib, near Sirhind

Request info all. Regards
Brig Harwant Singh (Retd)
