IESM RALLY AT BERI ON 27 SEP 14‏

        IESM RALLY AT BERI ON 27 SEP 14 ‏

Dear Veterans

IESM has been waging a long battle for OROP for last six years. IESM has been able to bring sacrifices of soldier and step motherly treatment being meted out to soldier to conscience  of entire nation. Pressure was increased in phased manner on the Government that finally UPA Government approved OROP in last leg of its tenure. BJP Government also approved OROP in its budget as promised by Sh Narendra Modi and in the party manifesto. Thus this is first time in history of Parliament that a proposal has been approved by two parliaments and all parties but has still not been implemented.

 

It is unfortunate that because of some unknown pressures, the Government has not issued the notification for OROP. It has been seven months since UPA approved OROP in its budget and three months since BJP Government approved OROP in its budget. IESM delegation met Raksha Mantri Sh Arun Jaitley on 16 July 14 but Sh Arun Jaitley did not give any time bound assurance for issue of notification for OROP. IESM and other senior veterans have written numerous letters to Prime Minister, Defence Minister and three chiefs but there has been no response from the Government. This deafening silence and undue delay in issuance of OROP notification is a cause of concern. What is the real intention of the Government is not coming out clearly? 

It will not be out of place to state here that ESM believed in promises of  BJP  over promises of Congress and en-block voted for BJP candidates in national elections held in May 14. Support of ESM community helped BJP to get full majority in Parliament. It is abundantly clear now that BJP has forgotten its promises and is behaving like any other political party which makes skyhigh promises in manifestos but are never serious in fulfilling the promises.

IESM has therefore planned two rallies (In Beri on 27 Sep 14 and in Nagpur on 12 Oct 14 ) in election bound states to remind BJP of their promises and also to convey that BJP will be making a big mistake in neglecting a large population of ESM. And if they do that it would be on their own peril.

What could be a better day than birth anniversary of shaheed Bhagat Singh to have a IESM rally to communicate disenchantment of ESM to Government and to remind the Government of their promises. A very large number of ESM are expected to attend the rally and pay homage to Shaheed Bhagat Singh and  However some self serving ESM, who want to use ESM platforms to enhance their careers and achieve their political ambitions, are casting aspersions on selection of this day for IESM rally. These self serving ESMs are also attempting to plant doubts in the mind of ESM about the funds being used for the rally. These are the same ESM who had spent more than two lacs on each rally when they were in control of IESM affairs. These are the same ESMs who have been sidelined by IESM and are attempting to create a divide in IESM/ESM. 

IESM requests ESMs not to pay any heed to these canards being spread to create divide. On the contrary this is crucial time in the fight of OROP and all ESMs and all organisations need to and stay united and fight together. Unity of ESM and unity of purpose will  communicate resolve of ESMs to Government and force them to issue notification at the earliest if the BJP wants our vote. 

IESM is very confident that BJP stalwarts will take notice of the unity of ESMs and will issue notification of for OROP much before the scheduled dates of election in Haryana and Maharashtra.

IESM has received large donations for IESM Rallies and for flood relief in J & K. IESM is thankful to all members and ESMs for this generous donation. IESM promises all ESMs that IESM will continue to represent their problems at the appropriate level and will find suitable solution.  

IESM REQUESTS ALL EX-SERVICEMEN TO ATTEND THE RALLIES AT BERI HARYANA ON 27 SEP AND AT NAGPUR MAHARASHTRA ON 12 OCT IN LARGE NUMBERS AND SEND A MESSAGE OF THEIR DISENCHANTMENT TO BJP. IT IS NOW OR NEVER. 

ESM UNITY WILL HELP US TO FIND SOLUTION FOR ALL OUR PROBLEMS SO STAY UNITED

IESM

HAS PLANNED A BIG RALLY ON 

27 SEP 14 SATURDAY AT 1100H

AT ANAJ MANDI, BERI VILLAGE, HARYANA

AS CHINTAN RALLY TO PLAN STRATEGY OF IESM AS GOVERNMENT HAS NOT

ISSUED NOTIFICATION FOR OROP 

EVEN AFTER SIX MONTH OF ITS APPROVAL.

ALL ESM ARE REQUESTED TO ATTEND IN LARGE NUMBERS. IT IS DO OR DIE SITUATION.

A LARGE PRESENCE OF ESM WILL FORCE EARLY ISSUANCE OF NOTIFICATION. 

IESM requests all ESM to donate for the rally as expenditure for the rally is likely to be around 3 lacs. It is important to ensure that this rally is a great success to shake the Government out of slumber which failed to issue notification even after six month of approval of OROP by two parliaments and all parties. Kindly donate  as this is a do or die situation and must make this rally a great success. IESM will take a decision on this great betrayal of BJP. BJP had promised early sanction of OROP at the level of BJP President and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's level but has been hesitant to  issue notification.

 

special request to veterans who own buses to kindly offer buses to take ESM from Noida, Delhi and Gurgaon. Pl send your offers to Gp Capt VK Gandhi at vk_gandhi@yahoo.com tele no 9810541222 or Maj Gen Satbir Singh at satbirsm@gmail.com 9312404269 . We would coordinate the movement of ESM to the Rally. 

All Admin arrangements for the Rally are being made by Hony Capt Rathee Vr C and his team of JHAJJHAR. IESM is thankful to the ESM team at Jhajjhar/Beri. 

Special request from IESM to all ESM to show solidarity with ESM. This is the time to do something for ESM community. PLEASE COME FORWARD AND BE PART OF ACTION

ANOTHER RALLY HAS BEEN PLANNED AT NAGPUR ON 12 OCT 2014 SUNDAY AS MAHARASHRA STATE IS ALOS GOING FOR ELECTION ON 15 OCTOBER. DETAILS OF THIS RALLY WILL BE ISSUED LATER.

OROP DEFINITION IS PIOUS TO EX-SERVICEMEN AND IS NOT NEGOTIABLE
