IESM: Chairman's Desk

Date: Sunday, 17 May, 2009, 12:28 AM
Dear Colleagues,
The election results are out. Our calculus during the voting advisory was based on who supports our cause of OROP and not on who wins and who loses. The Core Gp will meet shortly to decide the next course of action. One thing that is not in doubt is that our resolve remains steely and our efforts to get OROP will continue. The government had already acknowledged our efforts by announcing the constitution of a committee to examine the issue. We will use every possible means and method to get them to accept our OROP demand.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM

Dear All,
Congratulations on the big Mandate Congress has got. Now IESM can work with a Government with a Mandate. I had always held the view that IESM should be APOLITICAL organisation, whether BJP or Congress in Power does not matter. Dr Manmohan Singh will now be a strong, sincere, honest sensible, economics wizard, Prime Minister without his hands being tied to his back. It is good for the Nation as a whole. I am sure and confident that he will do good for the Ex-servicemen and the Servicemen both. The top Echelon of IESM should personally congratulate him as soon as he is installed, on behalf of all of us.
Best Regards
Col RR Chandra (Retd)
