Dear Colleagues,
A delegation comprising Admiral Barin Ghose, Gen Satbir Singh, Hony Capt JS Rathi, Hony Capt Jai Chand, MWO Bala, Dfr Jai Singh and self met the Defence Minister on 20 Jun 2009. After felicitating him for his reappointment as the Defence Minister and thanking him for having the OROP issue included in the Presidential address to the two Houses of Parliament, we renewed our request for implementing OROP. We encapsulated its concept.
Mr Antony suggested that on OROP we should work with members of the Government committee mandated to resolve the OROP issue as well as with the RRM, Mr Pallam Raju, who is handling the subject. We promised to fully cooperate with them and would render all possible help to find a solution to this long standing problem.
Following on, I wrote to Mr Pallam Raju and Secretary Ex Servicemen Welfare Department giving reference of and summarising our earlier meeting with the RM.
After every meeting with Mr Antony, at least I come away deeply impressed with his honesty of purpose, his sincerity and his genuine concern for the welfare of Ex Servicemen. His body language is encouraging and despite his frugality with words he creates a positive impression. One does sincerely hope his intent gets translated into results.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
