Please see the enclosed analysis (Appendix ‘A’) which shows the arbitrary manner in which the pension issue has been dealt with and the wide disparity that has crept in, instead of bridging the gap. The only solution to the emotive issue of parity in pension is to revise the pension as suggested in the analysis mentioned above.
Unfortunate it is that, a few of us have chosen to agitate, but it is more with a view to focus your attention than to confront. My personal apprehensions are that the perceived indifference of the Government to the just pension demand of the Armed Forces Veterans should not distort the military ethos of the ESM community. It is but prudence to use this highly disciplined, passionately patriotic, deeply motivated and equally skilled community in the nation building. You have the vision to do just that.
I believe that the Government owes parity in pension to us, as we the ESM neither have the platform from which we can project our issues nor do we like to go to the streets, staging all kinds of demonstrations. Please spend some time to understand the adverse impact the disparity in pension has on the livelihood and pride of the ESM, who have sacrificed much of their youthful years for the sake of defending the Nation. Almost 2.4 million of ESM stand to lose or gain by your appreciation of the issue.
Wishing you all the best and with regards,
Yours sincerely,
Sd RN Radhakrishnan
Addressed to: Sri AK Antony, The Defence Minister, GOI.
