EX-SERVICEMEN WELFARE: Expected Date for Submission of 7th Pay Commission Report and its important recommendations

EX-SERVICEMEN WELFARE: Expected Date for Submission of 7th Pay Commission Report and its important recommenda



l                                                     The Great Betrayal




Those warriors who guarded the borders vigilantly have been
forgoing food since a month.
Nobody cared a hoot even when a 90 year old fragile widow sat in
hunger strike in JM.
Often heard phrases like "Have faith OROP will be
implemented" "prime minister has assured orop will be
implemented" "in a few weeks" "Expect good news on OROP
soon" etc have been repeated in channel shows. One spokesman even said
(surely a slip of tongue) that OROP will be implemented during the tenure of
this Govt. But none gives a date when it would be.
We have 545 MPs in the lok Sabha out of which 440 are billionaires
rest millionaires; yet they want 100% increase in their salary and substantial
increase in other perks and allowances in addition to enjoying subsidized food
in LOk Sabha canteen. But the subject of parity in pension among current and
past pensioners is anathema to one and all.

Do these MPs know what is the amount of pension that veteran gets.
Here is one illustration. Take a good look honorable MPs.including
PM<FM<RM.
Pension of a JCO,( Class II Service Officer) who retired in 1971
originally was Rs.112/- which now after 6CPC is Rs.6470/- What would now be the
age of that veteran who was 34 in 1971 and does anyone realize that in the
twilight of his life how he would manage his livelihood  with this
princely amount!!!? The hell with OROP for veterans I want my pound of flesh,
come what may I AM AN MP.I WILL GET IT.
Disgraceful Deceit ; need to say anything more?
Govt is turning a blind eye to this just demand with out realizing
the connotation of impact it likely to have among the disciplined section of
the society.
By and large our Ex-service men community have been apolitical and
hope it remains so always .
Political parties are trying to fish in the troubled waters and
the powers that be are pretending to be blissfully unaware of this or willfully
brazening it out. The community is still loyal to the party who promised that
OROP will be implemented; please do not make them your enemy 
Veterans are now a volcano ready to erupt; please prevent the
catastrophe ; if not the the destiny of the nation might change.
Enough of the placating phrases, time now is to act and ACT
SWIFTLY. The matter has gone out of the hand of RM and the FM is untrustworthy.
The only solution has to come from the PM 
PM sir, your vociferous silence is giving jitters to the veterans.
Please come out of Moun Vrat and give us a solution.
When the RM said on 9th july that "good news on OROP
soon" we thought that your arrival back in India will have a beneficial
effect of veterans.We thought that you would visit JM, embrace the veterans and
announce then and there that OROP will be implemented on August 1 , 2015 with retrospective
effect. Nay, it was not to be so, you chose to continue your silence.
Sir, it is not late even now, we beseech, please do something and
help us clear off the course of planned aggravated agitations which will
 surely project a poor image of the country in the world arena/
