UNITED FRONT OF EX-SERVICEMEN (ESM)

 ON RELAY HUNGER STRIKE AT JANTAR MANTAR NEW DELHI AND OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE COUNTRY WITH EFFECT FROM 15 JUNE 2015 ONWARDS

 

Dear Friends

 

          There has been very enthusiastic response to the call of Relay Hunger Strike at Jantar Mantar New Delhi and more than 50 cities in the Country.  More ESM at other locations are also joining Relay Hunger Strike every day.

 

The Govt has once again betrayed the trust of the Soldiers by not implementing the OROP for the past fourteen months.  It has succumbed to the pressures and machination of bureaucracy.

 

          Three locations in Sikkim under Col Bhutia and one at Siliguri have joined in.

 

          Groups of ESM are requested to voluntarily come to Jantar Mantar for Hunger Strike to showcase solidarity with the cause of soldiers.  The Govt of the day for the past 67 years have been downgrading, degrading and mistreating the Military. This trend needs to be stopped.

 

          You are requested to volunteer to come in batches of 11 Ex-servicemen to sit on Hunger Strike at Jantar Mantar for 24 hours from 08AM to 08 AM next day when the new batch takes over.  Please book you choice of dates.  You can ring up the undersigned or Group Capt VK Gandhi co-coordinator of the Agitation on behalf of United Front of Ex-Servicemen Mob No 09810541222 and Email:    vk_gandhi@yahoo.com   

 

ESM in and around NCR are requested to volunteer in large number for the relay Hunger Strike.

 

It is now or never. 

 

The politico-bureaucratic machination to delay, dilute and finally deny OROP to the Defence Personnel is a serious cause of concern.  Assurances given to the Soldiers by no less than the then President of BJP Shri. Rajnath and the Prime Minister Mr. Modi have not been fulfilled. We have seven MPs and Ministers from  the Defence  Fraternity who,  it seems  have not yet  jointly gone to the PM asking him to implement OROP as per the approved definition  without any dilution whatsoever.

 

          Friends, OROP has only one Definition, One Implication and One Calculation ie :-

 

          “One Rank One Pension (OROP) implies that uniform pension be paid to the Armed Forces personnel retiring in the same rank with the same length of service irrespective of their date of retirement and any future enhancement in the rates of pension to be automatically  passed on to the past pensioners.  This implies bridging the gap between the rate of pension of the current pensioners and the past pensioners, and also future enhancements in the rate of pension to be automatically passed on to the past pensioners”.

 

 

These Ministers and MPs are :-

 

(a)	General VK Singh ((Retd),
(b)	Maj Gen Bhuwan Chandra Khanduri, (Retd)
(c)	Col Sona Ram Choudhary (Retd)
(d)	Capt Amarinder Singh (Retd)
(e)	Col Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore (Retd)
(f)	Shri Rajeev Chandrasekhar (S/O Air Force Officer)
(g)	Smt. Kirron Kher (D/O Army Officers)

 

          Every ESM, our members of the family and our supporters are requested to take this Relay Hunger Strike to logical conclusion.

 

 

          “NISCHE KAR APNI JEET KAROON”?
