IESM: Fast for Justice at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi

Fast for Justice: Commenced 17 Dec 2008- Sixteenth Day

Dear Colleagues,
Contingent from Hisar (Haryana) held fort today at Jantar Mantar. There were many veteran officers and PBOR who visited the venue, became members and made financial contributions. These included Lt Gen GL Bakshi, Brig BS Lamba, Brig Sinha, Brig Pooran Uppal and Brig N Bahri among others. Thank you allmfor providing motivation to the relay fast.

There were also visits from some TV channels: ‘Zee TV’, ‘News X’ and ‘CNN-IBN’ being the main ones.

ESM from different parts of India continue to call to express solidarity and support. Col Rajan, who holds the anchor in Bangalore, has promised to arrive on 16 Jan 2008 with a contingent from Karnataka. The IESM spirit has really caught on.

We need to further improve dissemination of what we are doing. Many still seem unaware.

Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM

Demands of Ex- Servicemen who are victims of Bureaucratic Impotence
  • One Rank One Pension (OROP)- Empty promises by successive Governments for the last ten years
  • Resettlement till the age of sixty- Lateral absorption of ESM in PMF yet to become a reality. Delay is due to bureaucrats who see a cherry in Fresh Recruitment!
  • Ex Servicemen Commission headed by ESM- Bureaucrats vie for these lucrative posts with no committment for ESM Welfare.
  • Services/ ESM representation on all committees pertaining to ESM welfare- All committees presently overseen by Bureaucrats who niether served nor have knowledge of the Military.
