Dear Colleagues,
Our intention to stick to our main aim of seeking full OROP has been endorsed by many ESM who called up. Now that the pressure of months of effort has started to tell on the government, there should be no question of any dilution of this aim.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM

Dear Gen Satbir,
A press meeting was held at Dehra Dun on 8th May 2009. Nearly 100 reporters of news papers and TV channels were present. Maj Gen (Retd) Chander Nandwani briefed the correspondents on aspects relating to the IESM movement and our best bet to vote for BJP/NDA, who have assured the ex-servicemen of implementing OROP within 100 days of coming to power. The voting in Uttarakhand is due to be held on 13 May 2009. The media (Dailies & TV Channels) has adequately covered the deliberations and carried the message of IESM to all corners of Uttarakhand.

I fully endorse your views. Indian politics is totally driven by pressure groups, to witness all the political parties running around to build groups where numbers only count. 273 the magic number. We in the services have allowed ourselves to be ill treated BECAUSE we never acted as a group. We also thought loyalty to the State means subservience to the politicians & they took us for granted. For the first time ESM community has stood up for their genuine rights as a united group: results are there for all to see.
Unity is the Mantra.
regards, dharam sood

So, a couple of high level committees have been nominated, eh?
A wit once said that that decision making in India is akin to mating of two elephants. Action takes place at a high level, lot of noise is made and lot of dust is kicked up, a very long time elapses before any results are out!
Yet another wit has the following to say..
A meeting is where they waste hours and keep minutes. A committee consists of people who individually can do nothing and collectively decide that nothing can be done!!
I wonder what is the real intention behind nominating these committees at this juncture.
