IESM: Unity efforts being scuttled through news media


Dear Friends,
1. Photocopy of a News Published in Hindi Tribune dated 16 June 2009 page 2 is as above for your perusal please.
2. It is very evident from the contents of the above News that IESL headed by Brig Gulia is playing a double game. The attitude of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds is most deplorable and needs to be taken note of by all veterans.
3. It is very despicable that while we have extended our hand in good faith to the IESL on a number of occasions in order to forge a United Voice of all ESM in getting Justice for Defence Personnel, the same has not been reciprocated by him. On the contrary, Brig Gulia has called all other organizations, which include the IESM (a massive mass movement spread all over the country in over 26 states), as small organizations, shows his insight. His calling the depositing of medals by ESM to the President as an act warranting severe condemnation shows his indifferent attitude towards the anguish and hurt feelings of the ESM for the rejection of their just and fair demand of OROP and the apathy of the Govt to our one year’s protest Movement which included Dharnas, Relay Hunger Strikes, arrests of veterans and members of the their families. IESL is totally divorced from the ground realities and instead of espousing the cause of ESM, it is ipso- facto harming their interests by such actions. One really wonders what his compulsions could be in making such negative statements, damaging the cause of ESM, unless he has ulterior motives best known to him. It is pertinent to note that the role of IESL has all along been at cross purposes with the demands of ESM. Now that the success appears to be at hand, IESL has jumped into the arena from the blue, taking credit for it.
With Kind Regards,
Jai Hind
Yours Sincerely,
Maj Gen (Retd) Satbir Singh, SM
Vice Chairman Indian ESM Movement
