Dear Chander,
I was scrolling through old e-mails and I noticed the e-mail of Lokesh Batra, circulated through RMS e-mail 225/2009 of 16 Mar 2009, in which Lokesh had appended the news item published Punjab Newsline on 14 Mar 2009, wherein Tiwari ( Congress spokesperson ) had stated his views about OROP. I am reproducing it as below. The views of Tiwari ( Congress spokes person ) expressed in this e-mail are at variance with his views expressed during the debate on TV channel. This may be brought to the notice of Tiwari as well as others as deemed appropriate and Tiwari asked to clarify his stand.
With regards,
Bhupal Singh, Veteran
Tewari advocates one rank one pension for ex servicemen
Punjab Newsline Network
Saturday, 14 March 2009
LUDHIANA: The national spokesperson of the All India Congress Committee, Manish Tewari has advocated the one rank one pension scheme for the ex servicemen across the country.
In a statement issued here Saturday, Tewari said, he and his party were working out a comprehensive package for the ex servicemen with one rank one pension as the main focus. He said, although the one rank one pension scheme had been implemented till 1986, it is being extended to include all the exservicemen.
Referring to some reports claiming that he was not in favour of one rank one pension, Tewari clarified that these were absolutely false and baseless. He asserted, “the issue of my opposition to the one rank one pension does not arise as me and my party have always held the view that all the exservicemen should be governed by this policy”.
Tewari promised that once the Congress government is formed at the centre after the general elections, implementation of one rank one pension scheme would be his top priority as he believed that this was quite a justified demand.
