Dear Colleagues,

Today we have had the Lucknow Brigade (Col Saxena, Col Kuldeep Singh and nine PBOR) holding the fort at Jantar Mantar. There were further supplemented by some stalwarts from Punjab. As a rare show of solidarity, Lt Gen Surjit Singh, Lt Gen Kulbir Singh, Lt Gen HBL Kapur and Lt Gen PD Bhargava visited the venue and became members of the IESM. In addition, Maj Gen RK Vadhera, Maj Gen Soorma, Brig Ravi Awasthy, Brig Raghu Sohal Col Vijay Sekhri, Col Partap singh were among the many veterans who visited the battle site. Also present were a large number of our Service families. These visits always have an electrifying effect on those sitting on fast on that cold pavement.

Col DP Singh called up from Mumbai. He along and Brig Dharam Prakash will be organising a relay fast in Navi Mumbai from 15 to 17 Jan 2008. After that, they also wish to send a delegation to Jantar Mantar for taking their turn in the ongoing effort in the capital. They also wanted 50 membership forms for the IESM. Others might have similar requests. I am once again attaching a form with this mail. It can be downloaded and used.

A delegation from Gujarat including Naval and Air Force ESM has similarly offered to participate in the Jantar Mantar fast. They are awaiting confirmation of their rail reservation to intimate their firm schedule.

Chief Petty Officer Shivnarain called up from a village near Kanpur. Having read my comments/ views on OROP in Dainik Jagran newspaper he is enthusiastic about what the IESM is doing and wants to join in.

It is the spirit exhibited by our colleagues from all over the country that assures us of our Victory in the fight for Justice.

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