Dear Sir,
This is in relation to our phone conversation yesterday. We at CNN IBN are hoping to do a full long format show on the issue of One Rank One Pension. I write to you for help and support in the same. You would remember our meeting during the Kargil anniversary when we did a whole long format discussion.
This one is a little different in format, will be shot across the country
I have researched the subject. I would need your help in trying to put a show from a national perspective with case studies from across the country.
I am outlining some of the points that I believe you could help us with. Please do add and let me know of whatever else you deem fit
a) I need case studies of ex servicemen or their families that get absolutely unreasonable pensions. Will get my Bureaus to shoot with them and their families. Would be great if we get a cross section of society, urban-rural and just geographically spread so that I can show a nationwide picture
b) Will find some one recently retired who gets a far greater pension than someone who is a veteran. If you have someone in mind do let me know
c) Is there a son father (both retired) to show case this point
d) Is there a lawyer fighting the case at HC/SC level. Can speak to him
e) Will interview you when you come to Delhi
f) What about the medal returning ? I have some footage ? Do you have footage etc of your own that I could use
g) Can I have numbers of officers who returned their medals to the government
Do let me know if there is anything you have in mind that I could add. I of course would be adding the comparison with a babu etc so don’t worry on that account.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks and regards,
Anubha
Anubha Bhonsle
