IESM: Fast for Justice Rally- sixty third day

Date: Wednesday, 18 February, 2009, 8:38 PM
Dear Colleagues,
Sub Ram Chander and his braves from Bawal (Haryana) are in charge of Jantar Mantar today.
Visit
Maj Gen Adit Jaini, Colonel Kanwar Bhardwaj, Maj Ishwar Jakhar Sub Dahira, Hav balwant and some others visited Palwal (Haryana) today. They interacted with a large gathering of over 250 very entusiastic ESM.
Support
Gen Sher Amir called up this evening from Faizabad, where he is attanding his Regimental Reunion. Following his interaction with a large number of officers from all over India, he conveyed the unqualified support of all for the cause and the efforts being put in by the IESM to get justice. Such oxygen keeps us going.
Misinformation
There seems an effort by the government to convey an impression that after the Sixth PC, there is no (major) problem with the PBOR; the problem is only officer centric. This came from the Congress National Spokesperson Manish Tewari during a TV debate Feb 18 (being aired on CNBC 18 under ‘India Tonite’ at 2230 hours Feb 18 and 1600 hours Feb 19). This was of course countered by asserting that the hardest hit is the lowest rank of Sepoy, with a pre-1996 retiree Sepoy getting 82% lower pension than a post-1.1.2006 Sepoy pensioner does. We must be on the watch against efforts to create a divide among the ESM. It has been and must continue to be a joint effort by all.

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