16 AUG 2015-
INFO BULLETIN
UFESM takes this opportunity of wishing all our countrymen a very happy Independance Day.....Jai Hind...BY COL ANIL KAUL VrC RETD
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Today was a momentous day for the UFESM in more ways than one. The community of vetrerans has been dissappointed both with the high handed action of the NDMC and Delhi Police yesterday and the much awaited and expected announcement of the Prime Minister with regard to the OROP on the occasion of the 69th Independance day of our motherland.
In view of which the combined voice of UFESM firstly condemns yesterday's attempt of eviction and high handedness by the NDMC staff and Delhi police personnel and demands an unqualified apolgy fom all those in the chain of command, to all ESM for their act of commission against peaceful, disciplined and aged ESM on 14 Aug 2015 at Jantar Mantar.
Sadly Neither the Supeme Commander nor the PM made a reference to such an unfortunate incident with those who have assured the freedom of our motherland for the last 69 years in their respective speeches to the nation both yesterday and today. UFESM hopes they will take notice of the same and admonish the concerned officials in the near future in full public glare
On the 62 second day of RHS 70 volunteers including 6 ladies and a number of civilians from Tis Hazari supporting the cause of the ESM undertook rhs.
The sympathisers and citizens from all walks of life in a show of support and solidarity, that started with about 200 increased to over 2000 as the day wore on.
There were groups from Mumbai, Rajasthan, Punjab & UP who had come all the way to show solidarity for the cause.of OROP. A giant TV screen had been erected to show the telecast of the PM from the Red Fort. The crowd heard it in pin drop silence till he mentioned his remarks on OROP. Immediately there was an uproar and the TV swiched off.
The organizers than carried out the flag hoisting of the Tri-clour and singing of the National Anthem. . ,
PROGRESS ON ""SARKARI BARGAINING ""During the day al the three advisors of the UFESM attended meetings with certain Government officials at the request of the officials, to break the impasse surrounding the non-announcement of implementation of OROP as mentioned by the PM in his speech.
Efforts are on to find a resolution and completion in the very near future.as per the definition of OROP wihout any dilution.
Following the meetings the UFESM has taken the following decisions. : -
1. RHS will continue as hitherto fore.
2. Protest marches will be undertaken by ESM in every city and district of the country.
3. Respective Representative MP's & MLA's of constituentsm irrespective of the party they belong to, will be Gheraoed and asked to explain their contribution towards resolving the problems of their constituency members with regard to OROP.
3. All veteran vehicles will fly black flags.
4. All veterans will sport black Ribbon on all dresses.
5. Veterans will boycott all government organized functions both civil and military.
6. Fast unto death volunteers have been requestecd to avoid taking it on for the time being.
7. Other Escalation measures will be revealed at the opportune moment.

FEW SELECTED CLIPPINGS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA
So touching and so true Sir..... Beautifully expressed.. I MUST share this
I do not wear my medals anymore.
They are too heavy to hold on to the
fabric of the cloth that covers my skin now.
I am no more in uniform.

fabric of the cloth that covers my skin now.

...
There is nothing uniform about uniforms.
Freedom is not uniform either, neither is Independence.
Without the uniform I sweated and bled in, my medals mean nothing,
Your uniformed goons can yank them off and kick me away out of your way, to celebrate your Independence Day.

Yes, tell that fifty six incher chest joker when he drives up the rampart,
Sir, the route is safe and secured, cleared of all [VETERAN ]threats.
His fifty six inch chest cannot support a single medal I wear.
But his antics will enthral the nation. [नव टंकी ]
As for us, we are not stage actors,
You won't even permit us to have our own stage.
Quietly we did your job, quietly we will protest, quietly we shall fade away,
As many did before us, denied of our legitimate rights.
Did I use the word legitimate?
Ha!
How ridiculous to expect a code of conduct from those who thrive on misconduct.
Happy Independence Day India
Enjoy your freedom.
Our contributions were our duty.
We owe each other nothing.
Just that, don't sing songs or poems to entice new generations.
Tell them the truth! [सत्यम एव जयते ]
That you will be asked to forsake your freedom to be in uniform.
In return, you can wear your medals or sell them as scrap.
After we are done with you,
You shall return to being a third class citizen of this mighty nation.
15 AUGUST 2015 :Very Sad Day in the current History of India.

This is my personal opinion/ suggestion.
Any Veteran, who goes to Heavenly Abode,in NCR.
His body should be brought to Jantar Mantar for enabling other Veterans to pay their Homage / Tributes. It is difficult, but it can be arranged
or
alternatively his Ashes be brought before performing the other Rituals. See the affect. The Govt will be shaken. Will they ?
Sepoy Bhishamber 5 Grenadier 84 years was roughed up by police n crpf..with TORN SHIRT NEXT TO Sneha. REPORTER Times Now.. 84 yrs old kept his cool.... He coul...d have made MINCE MEAT OF THE BADTAMBEEJ CRPF IN SECS.. Still has the IRON FINGERS.. On RIGHT.... Cdr Anand.. CS Saran.. Fly officer Thapliyal...MWo PS AHLUWALIA At Jantar Mantar now at 7.08 relaxed..after A tough day.. But nothing to tough FAUJIS... VETERANS in other part of the nation n abroad must be AGHAST AND CLINCHING THEIR FISTS.... Time WILL COME SOON... FEW LAKH Col BHAINSLA'S WAITING... And TAKE BIRTH IN SECONDS... BABUS N POLITICIANS WILL KNOW SOON...God save the day.. Rgds sharan
Even if we keep aside for a moment our angst against Modi due to OROP, please tell me if you really feel Modi's Independence Day speech was Prime-Ministerial or Statesman like. To me his address sounded more like cheap oratory of a candidate in a Municipal election. He is an "I" [ में , मैंने ] specialist and keeps blowing his own trumpet. He is a like a student sitting in an Exam, then marking his own paper and giving himself A+. Independence Day speeches traditionally have been like th...e US President's "State of the Union" address, which give a broad overview of external and internal challenges and provide a vision for the future. What did Modi deliver? Nothing on External relations / situation (China, Pak, US etc), nothing on terrorism, Maoists, insurgencies in the East, nothing on the 'big ticket' economic reforms. Beyond a brief mention - nothing on communal and Caste divide. US Presidents and indeed leaders all over the world INVARIABLY start their address by paying tributes to the soldiers. In his case he did NOT even consider soldiers as part of his so-called TEAM INDIA. So while kids, bankmen, almost everyone got 'hardik abhinandan' soldiers obviously did not deserve it in his reckoning. Just good at coining slogans or buzzwords...'skill India'; 'digital India' etc etc and now 'Team India'.
Feedback I am getting here in *** and in India is that Modi is extremely incensed how the ill-treatment of ESM at JM got SO MUCH media media coverage. Note that he gave "abhinandan" to everyone - kids, bankmen etc etc but for him soldiers are NOT a part of his so-called Team India.
Already he is getting 1000s of tweets virtually condemning him and BJP.
Fearing trouble in Bihar polls, BJPs TROLL BRIGADE has been activated in India and abroad. He is highly egoistic and mulishly stubborn.
Wait and watch there will now be MORE hardening of Govt stance on OROP. And the slimy bureaucrats are laughing all the way.
BATTLE LINES ARE NOW CLEARLY DRAWN. WE CAN'T BACK OFF NOW.
THERE R THOUSNDS OF SUCH CLIPPINGS.
GOD BLESS THEM ALL
