Chandigarh, July 25 “The soldiers in the army have limitations and can't fight the government on the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission. Therefore, there is a need for someone to stand by them, or the politicians will do injustice to them," said Lieutenant General Prem Nath Hoon (Retd), former army commander, Western Commander.

He was addressing a press conference here today. He said that the politicians were responsible for demoralising not only the serving soldiers but also the youth aspiring for the armed forces. "The pay being offered to the armed personnel is meagre as compared to the salaries offered by the private sector."

He urged the people to visit the war memorial in Sector 3 to pay homage to the martyrs on the Kargil Diwas. He said: "The government does nothing for the armed personnel. It is up to people to remember those who laid down their lives for the nation."
