Dear Mr Rahul Gandhi,
I write this on behalf of the Ex Servicemen of India. We have had some welfare related problems, mainly the ‘one rank one pension’ that have not been adequately addressed by the Government. Our repeated efforts to get a just and fair deal have not borne fruit. Frustrated at being stone-walled, the Ex Servicemen have been compelled to state their case in public forums. It is an unprecedented step forced on the disciplined community of over two million military pensioners. One fears that the problem of ‘one rank one pension’, if not addressed urgently, might have an adverse effect on the serving soldiers, who are all future pensioners. This would be an unfortunate development keeping in view the criticality of the role that the defence forces play in the security and integrity of the country.
The millions in India see you as the future leader. I, along with some of my colleagues would like to meet you and explain our problem to you in person. I shall be grateful if you could give us time as convenient to you.
With best regards,
Your sincerely,
Lt Gen Raj Kadyan
To: Mr Rahul Gandhi, MP, AICC Headquarters, 24 Akbar Road, New Delhi
