Dear Friends,

1. Please refer to my earlier post dated 09 Jun 08 in which we had given the methodology of action plan for the event to be held on 06 July 08. We have received certain suggestions in this regard which have been duly incorporated as under:

The event will be called March For JUSTICE.

The event will be held country wide at all District HQ, State Capitals and at New Delhi. The local ESM organizations and individual veterans in consultation with each other will decide the location where all veterans will assemble at 11 AM on 06 July 08. They will form in threes and will march to the office/ residence of DC/ CM/ Governor/ PM and will present a Memorandum for the Prime Minister to the DC/ CM/ Governor/ PM.

All veterans will wear black arm bands, protest tabs and miniature medals. Suitable placards will be carried by the Marchers.

The march will conducted in a dignified manner keeping in mind the discipline and ethos of Armed Forces and no slogan shouting will be carried out.

The local veteran organizations/ veterans organizing the event can suitably modify the methodology to suit the local conditions.

Maximum participation of all veterans is requested.

Efforts are being made for better media coverage. Local veteran organizations are requested to contact local media for maximum coverage. NDTV will suitably coordinate with its units in various parts of the country to cover the event.

Suitable leaflets may please be made and distributed to the veterans as well as the general public to apprise them about the injustice done to the Defence Forces by the 6th CPC and our genuine demands.

MPs, MLAs, Ministers and political parties may be asked for their support to our genuine demands, asking them to project the same to the Govt at the Centre.

2. Memorandum is being prepared and will be forwarded to all shortly. Let us unite for the common cause. Go all out for maximum participation to make the March for JUSTICE protest on 06 July 2008 a grand success. "God Bless God Speed to our Movement."

With kind regards,
Jai Hind
