Dear Sir/ Ma'am, The sixteenth day of the relay hunger strike. The fasting at Jantar Mantar continued today with volunteers from Punjab and Haryana. The strength at Jantar Mantar today was 230 with 46 officers present. 11 veterans including an officer conducted RHS.
PTROTEST MARCHES WERE CARRIED OUT AT ALL DISTRICTS OF kERALA by members of NEXCC a constituent of UFESM. Similar activities were reported from 60 cities across the country.
Reports of burning of PM 's effigy in Batala and blocking of roads in Agra have been received by UFESM. Besides this the raging anger is becoming palpable as more reports of contemplated action are trickling in.Though these methods of protest are outside the line of implementation of our struggle at the moment but for things to go out of hand would not take too long if the delay and prevarication on the announcement continues.It may be considered in pyrely military terms as "Early Indicators".
UFESM has noted with concern the use of the term PBOR in various correspondence . This is not an acceptable abbreviation and will cease to be used forthwith. The correct description is JCO's & Other Ranks or JCO's & OR's. The accepted norm of address across the three services.
A mail received from an 80 year old veteran is reproduced below : -
" Dear Gp Capt Gandhi, Our agitation totally overshadowed by CONG and AAP agitation against Govt No media coverage, media gaged by govt. Dr Babu MP from Andhra says people join Armed Forces for free Booz and Mutton. Shameful statement by an elected member of parliament. What is our next step. I was there for conclave, rally on 14th and on Saturday to be with those on relay hunger strike, shall be with U all soon. I am closing on to 80 but will not hesitate to sit with my fellow veterans as and when U ask me to do so May God grant us success warm regards
- Gen Bhalla"
