Dear colleagues,
Palwal/Faridabad (Haryana) contingent continues to be in charge of the Jantar Mantar venue.
Audience with the President
Consequent to my letter dated 24 Feb 2009 to the President (copy reproduced below for ready reference), telephonic confirmation has been received that she has agreed to meet us on 09 March 2009:
“Excellency, Madam President and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces,
This is in continuation of my letter of even No dated 15 Feb 2009.
I write to apprise you that more Ex Servicemen want to deposit their medals to show their disenchantment with the government refusal to remove the discrimination the old pensioners are being subjected to. Their single plea remains that two pensioners who have rendered equal length of service and have retired at the same rank should be given equal pension irrespective of their date of retirement. The Congress party, as major constituent of the UPA had committed in their manifesto that they would find a satisfactory solution to this long-pending issue. However, they have gone back on their commitment and have outrightly rejected the demand. The Ex servicemen have thus been compelled to resort to public demonstration of their disillusionment.
We would like to deposit the next consignment of medals at Rashtrapati Bhawan at 15:30 hours on 14 March 2009. We as a delegation of five Ex servicemen would also like to meet you on that day to explain the issue in person. If not convenient, the meeting could also take place on another date, independent of depositing of medals. In this connection my request for seeking an audience with your Excellency, is already pending since 24 November 2008.”
Medals Depositing on 14 March 2009
Just to remind- do kindly ensure the medals reach Gurgaon (same address as given on membership form) by 13 March 2009.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, ACSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
