Date: Friday, 30 January, 2009, 10:41 PM

Dear Colleagues,
The Jantar Mantar battlefront is under the able command of our colleagues from Gujarat today. We thank them for joining the effort and for strengthening the cause.

New Members
We heartily welcome the following new members and thank them for their generous contribution to the cause:
1. Rear Adm SC Anand, NOIDA
2. Rear Adm Sanjeev Kapoor, New Delhi
3. Lt Gen Harwant Singh, Chandigarh
4. Brig AN Suryanarayanan, Bangalore

08 Feb 2009 Rally
The Core Gp met Jan 30 and firmed up the details of the Rally. We assemble at Jantar Mantar at 1100 hours. Thereafter carrying suitable banners, we march in a procession. The route that has been proposed to the police is Jantar Mantar – Ashok Road – Kasturba Gandhi Marg – Tolstoy Marg – Jantar Mantar. Police response is awaited. At Jantar Mantar, there will be a few short speeches by nominated PBOR, officers and some family members. The Chairman will then conclude and announce the next plan of action. Meanwhile medals would have been surrendered/ collected and a select party would take these to the Rashtrapati Bhawan along with a letter/ memorandum to the Supreme Commander.

Earnest Appeal
1. State/District/ City heads wherever appointed should kindly bring maximum numbers to the Rally.
2. Launch a sustained drive to enrol maximum new members.
3. All those who weild influenece over the media should secure maximum attendance of print and visual media.

A Clarification
Some well meaning ESM have been writing to the government seeking pension as per the SAI 1/S 2008 and 2/S/2008. It is clarified that these are individual views and do not reflect the collective thinking of the IESM. Our stand is unambiguous and our well-stated demand is for ‘one rank one pension’ and nothing less.

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