Dear Veterans

A vishal Rally was held at Anaj Mandi Beri Haryana by IESM at 1100h on 27 Sep 14 Saturday. Rally was attended by more than 2500 ex-servicemen, their families and their sypathisers from five states i.e. Harayana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Delhi and UP.The rally was held on birth anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh. All present remembered the bravery and patriotism of Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Indian Armed Forces.

 

 

The rally was addressed by ex-servicemen, Sarpanch of villages and other dignitaries. 

 

Speaker after speaker implored audience that sacrifice and martyrdom of Shaheed Bhagat Singh was exemplary and thanked Shaheed Bhagat Singh society for planning this remembrance day. Speakers expressed their gratitude to IESM for choosing this day for Ex-servicemen rally and to present problems of ex-servicemen to the Government on this pious day. National award winner Sh Sahib Singh Dalal retired JBT teacher proudly announced that soldiers who guard our borders are Bhagat Singhs of today, ex-servicemen who are sitting behind on the stage are Bhagat Singh of today. It is the duty of all Indians to give them their due respect in society and learn from them how to serve motherland. It is a sad day that ex-servicemen have to resort to Dharnas and rallies and they had to return medals to convey their demands to the Government. Infact Government should plan the welfare measures so that ex-servicemen do not have to demand it. The crowd roared FOUJI ZINDABAD, FOUJI EKTA ZINDABAD, Bharat Mata AMAR RAHE.

 

 

IESM Chairman Maj Gen Satbir Singh spoke and remembered the martyrdom of Shaheed Bhagat Singh and roared that every fouji has Bhagat Singh in him and whenever our motherland was invaded our soldiers have saved motherland by their supreme sacrifice. Every soldier should aim to be like Shaheed Bhagat Singh and be ready for Supreme sacrifice. He roared that if only 10% of Indians imbibe the qualities of Shaheed Bhagat Singh our great country India will be the most advanced country in the world. He further asked the audience whether it is only the responsibility of the countrymen to follow the spirit of Bhagat Singh, Should our Netas and politicians/bureaucrats not imbibe the patriotism of Bhagat Singh? He asked the audience to raise hands if they think that our netas also need to follow the example set by Bhagat Singh. Audience roared and said yes with raised hands and shouted Bharat Mata ki jai. Shaheed Bhagat Singh Zinda bad, Indian Army Zindabad, Fouji Ekta zindabad.

 

 

Gen Satbir Singh further explained that BJP should be thankful to ex-servicemen because of  their full support across India to BJP. It is the duty of BJP to look after ex-servicemen welfare and fulfill the promises made in the manifesto. He further said that result of about 150 constituency has gone in BJP favor because of large concentration of ex-servicemen in those constituencies and full support from ex-servicemen. BJP has got full majority in Parliament because of support of ex-servicemen and their families.

 

Maj Gen Satbir Singh further explained that IESM is fighting for OROP and improvement in ECHS. He explained that OROP has been approved by two Parliaments and has approval of all parties of India. BJP and all its leaders had promised that  OROP will be implemented  immediately on forming the Government. BJP Government had approved OROP in the budget presented in June 2014. But it is very unfortunate that the Government is feeling shy to issue notification for OROP. He said that ex-servicemen empathize with the Raksha Mantri Sh Arun Jaitley as he is hospitalized and had undergone a surgery. He is now recuperating from his illness and probably had no time to attend to the most pressing demand of ex-servicemen. Gen Satbir said that ex-servicemen, who had waited for 25 years for OROP to become reality , are ready to wait for few more days for our esteemed Raksha Mantri to recover. Gen Satbir asked the audience if they would give 10 more days to Government to issue the notification and all loudly cheered Gen Satbir and roared big YES with raised hands. Gen Satbir further explained that IESM would be conducting NUKKAD meetings and discuss the issue of notification of OROP in village Panchayat meetings and bring to the knowledge of local candidates during elections in Haryana and Maharashtra. All surpunches were requested to raise the issue with their leaders in their area/village.   

 

Gen Satbir  explained to audience that a sepoy whose pension was Rs 5196/ today is likely to get Rs 8365/ plus DA with OROP and a widow who is getting a pension of Rs 3500/ today is likely to get pension of Rs 6500/ plus DA. Audience acknowledged the statement with a big roar and shouted GEN SATBIR TUM LADTE RAHO HAM TUMHARE SAATH HAIN. IESM ZINDABAD. FOUJI EKTA ZINDABAD. Enthusiasm of the audience was unparalleled and they conveyed unequivocally that they will do whatever their Chairman will ask them to do. 

 

Gen Satbir Singh  confirmed that IESM will be conducting two meetings of ex-servicemen on 5 oct in Jhajjhar and  Karnal. Many more meetings will be planned in next week to discuss the issue of notification.  Another IESM rally will be held at Nagpur on 12 Oct 14.

 

IESM will be consulting the ground level ex-servicemen about the action plan to be followed in case Government fails to issue notification for OROP in the ten days time. 

IESM gave Rs 5100/ to Shaheed Bhagat Singh society. 

 

Gen Satbir Singh thanked Shaheed Bhagat Singh Society to invite his as Chief guest and joining hands with IESM and making IESM rally a big success. Gen Satbir Singh thanked Hony Captain Jai Singh Rathee Vr C and his team for making such excellent arrangement for the IESM rally.
