SCPC: Armed Forces Pay decision on pending issues soon

Sincere efforts and genuine grieviances piling up- Bureaucrats seen bundling the anomalies, confusing the issues and frustrating the efforts

New Delhi, January 20
Asserting that “sincere” efforts to resolve pay anomalies were being made, the government today assured the armed forces that it would soon take a decision on the pending issues relating to the Sixth Pay Commission.

The government has already taken decisions on the “genuine grievances” of the defence personnel “one after the other” even after the pay commission report was implemented, Defence Minister AK Antony told reporters.

“Because, we are very clear and particular that we must give the best available equipment to the Armed forces on the one side, and regarding their welfare and their pay, whatever is their genuine demand, we are always willing to give,” he said. — PTI
Armed Forces Pay:Decision on pending issues soon: Govt

Dear friends,

Please read what our right honourable Raksha Mantri has to say as reported in The Tribune, Chandigarh of 21 Jan 2009.

I'll concede he has a sense of humour. I also think he takes us all for a bunch of buffoons. Well, we get an RM we deserve!

I also wish to make it very clear that the third word of the report, namely sincere, has not been highlighted by me but by The Tribune. Ditto for genuine grievances and one after another. I must be blind not to have noticed that avalanche of favourable decisions our good government has taken. Some of you may be more observant in this regard.

Regards
