All India Military Veterans Movement: Fast For Justice

Dear Friends,
1. The event of Hunger Strike/ Fast for Justice at India Gate New Delhi has been a grand success. Over 1200 Officers, JCOs, Jawans and ladies attended the event. It was heartening to see a large number of Generals present at the event. There was one Rear Admiral from the Navy. We feel sorry that no senior officer from the Air Force came to attend the Fast for Justice. However, there were a few air force officers of the rank of Gp Capt and below.

2. This Movement by Military Veterans is for All Veterans irrespective of the service against the grave injustice done to the Defence personnel both serving and veterans. There, is therefore need that all veterans from the three services must join in the efforts and carry out movement unitedly. I am sure as we go along all will join.

3. The news from other cities is pouring in and we are sure all would have gone very well. The organizers at respective locations may kindly send the after action report.

4. The event at India Gate was well attended by the Media and we hope they carry it in the respective channels and news paper. Gen Raj Kadyan and self have been called by the NDTV English tonight for 10PM news discussion. You all may kindly see it on TVs.

5. The impact of today’s event has been good. The aim is to inform the people of our country about the ill- treatment meted out to the Military by the 6th CPC and request the Government to accept our genuine demands at the earliest.

6. There is urgent need to constitute the Steering Committee at the earliest so that the much needed unity is seen on the ground and we can plan and coordinate the future action plans of our Movement country wide. It may be a long struggle. Let us prepare ourselves to be effective and successful.

With regards,
Jai Hind
Yours’ Sincerely
