Dear Colleagues,
Earlier this evening an IESM delegation from Punjab, accompanied by Gen Satibir and self met Ambika Soni. The meeting was facilitated by Mr Balbir Sidhu, MLA from Mohali, who has been very helpful in our cause and deserves our full gratitude and support.
Thereafter, accompanied by Ms Ambika Soni and Mr Sidhu, we met Mr AK Antony. It was a good meeting and our perception of Mr Antony being supportive of the defence services got further reinforced. As decided in advance our focus remained only on OROP, while the memorandum we submitted had all the four demands.
Apart from our own presentation of the case, Ms Ambika very convincingly and commendably put across the case of OROP in particular and of the defence forces in general. Veterans remain very grateful for her support. We are scheduled to meet the PM shortly (tentatively Monday, 25 November)- again thanks to Ms Ambika soni for scheduling it.
Best regards,
Lt Gen Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM (Retd)
Chairman IESM
