PRESS RELEASE Dated: 01 Apr 2010
RAW DEAL FOR DEFENCE VETERANS
Dear Members of the Media
1. You are aware that the President of India who also is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, on 14 Mar 2010 did not receive the delegation of military veterans who had gone to deposit 5000 medals and 6000 signatures signed in Blood to express their deep anguish at the Govts indifferent attitude towards their genuine demands. Incidentally the Presidents was earlier requested to receive the delegation in person. .
2. The Ex Servicemen Cell of the AICC has been floating misleading emails giving on impression that the recent enhancement of pension is akin to One Rank One Pension. This is not correct: One Rank One Pension requires equating pensions of pre and post 2006 retirees, which has not been even remotely addressed.
3. The Indian Ex servicemen Movement (IESM) spearheading the protest and representations for the last two years has once again approached the Prime Minister, UPA Chairperson and RM for the sanction of OROP at the earliest. Through an Open Letter addressed to the PM with copies to Smt. Sonia Gandhi and Sh. AK Antony, the veteran soldiers have appealed to the Govt that the issue of OROP be taken out of the gamut of bureaucratic control and dealt with directly by the political leadership for a fair and durable solution.
4. You are requested to kindly carry this important information having far reaching ramifications on the National Security in your News paper/ Channel.
With Kind Regards,
Jai Hind
Yours Sincerely,
Maj Gen (Retd) Satbir Singh, SM
Vice Chairman Indian ESM Movement
