j) For the first time a book of 144 pages on our movement at Jantar Mantar has been written in USA. It is available at amazon.in

k) For the first time two gigantic rallies, ie 12 Sep 2015 and 13 Dec 2015 took place at Jantar Mantar breaking all previous records.

r) For the first time after a struggle of 43 Years because of the unbearable pressure created from JM, Govt was forced to issue notification on OROP on 07 Nov 2015. Unfortunately, bureaucrats appear to have spoiled the broth again. Notification issued has serious anomalies not acceptable to soldiers. These are now well known to you all. Govt has also gone back on various promises and is not responding to various requests made and the letters written. It even seems to have gone back on its promise of mediation through Gen VK Singh.

s) For the first time THREE CHIEFS have written to the Govt on serious anomalies of the 7th CPC. Perhaps it may not have had happened had protest at JM was not on. Protest at JM has created full awareness amongst the serving soldiers also which seniors officers cannot afford to ignore henceforth.
