मोदी जी कह देते हैं अपने मन की बात 
क्यों भूल गए मोदी जी सैनिक के मन की बात
रेवाड़ी मैं बताई थी सैनिक के मन की बात  
एक रैंक एक पेंशन थी छोटी सी बात 
इतनी जल्दी भूल गए सैनिक के मन की बात 
मोदी जी कह देते हैं अपने मन की बात 
ना नाजायज ना जटिल है सैनिक के मन की बात
बाबू लोगों ने बना दिया है बतंगड़ सी बात  
इससे साधारण नहीं दूसरी सैनिक के मन की बात 
मोदी जी कह देते हैं अपने मन की बात 
एक बात मैं फिर बतलाऊं सैनिक के मन की बात
आपके बाबू टरका रहें हैं सैनिक की छोटी सी बात 
साठ साल में इसी अधिकार की सैनिक ने कही है बात
मोदी जी कह देते हैं अपने मन की बात 
सैनिक नहीं करता कभी टेडी मेडी बात 
उसको चाहिए अपने अधिकार के मन की बात 


लगा दीजिये इन बाबुओं को फटकार रूपी लात 
फिर मानेंगे ये बाबू हम दोनों के मन की बात 


मोदी जी कह देते हैं अपने मन की बात

      BABUs STOLE MY PENSION FUNDS

Pensions are paid out of PENSION FUNDS which are created over the period by the EMPLOYEES indirect contributions  itself. How  the hell  Defence  Pensions percentage was  reduced under 3CPC & simultaneously the BABUs pensions were increased by almost the same percentage. Logic says it was a BOOK TRANSFER of PENSION FUNDS. WHEN ARMED FORCES WERE FIGHTING THE WAR BABUs WERE STEALING  THE DEFENCE FUNDS CREATED BY THE SWEAT & BLOOD OF THE SOLDIERS. Can some one ANSWER how BABUs were able to increase own pensions without creating Pension funds. The FACT is they stole From Defence Pension Funds. AND no body could ask any questions because soon after NATIONAL EMERGENCY was decleared.

Country had just fought a major war & was almost bankcrupt. There was a international boycott due to 1974 explosion of NUCLEAR device . Babus created misinformation against the Field Marshal & stole the defence pension funds for personal benefits

AVS Committee Report. Under the garb of AVS Report Babus degraded all the retired Commanding Officers of the Indian Army to the status of Bty/ Company Cdrs &  in 6 CPC reduced their pensions to that of a sub unit cdrs & the money thus saved created "HARAM KA KAMAI" ie NFFU for themselves. In simple language the NON PERFORMER was rewarded by "FINANCIAL" promotion as & when his  IAS batchmate was promoted, performing or NOT performing. Guranteed  minimum retirement promotion  bounty to a level of Joint Secretary( ie MAJOR GENERAL) & to shut the mouth of Generals they made a AVS Cadre review.

   Braatheraan  u will find very soon a "**** FOUR STAR CDS along with Other three **** FOUR STAR Services heads. All working under a "SUPER DEFENSE SECRETARY" who will be responsible for defense of INDIA without accountability & a CDS without powers but all the accountability.


 THUS  STATUS OF CDS WILL BE SOME THING LIKE THE CHIEF MINISTER OF DELHI (KEJRIWAL)

                             ON DEGRADATION OF RANKS

  INDIAN JADUGAR (magician) HAS BEEN RENDERED JOBLESS BY THE BABU MANDARINS ANCHORED IN THE Ministry of Defence, these  Maharajas of Indian Defence are responsible for the Defence of India but "NO RESPONSIBILITY or ANSWERABILITY or ACCOUNTABILITY". They have only one JOB ie how to LOOT

          (a) They stole 20percent of JAWANs pensions & increased their own by the same percentage. Has any one asked how the Babus got funds to pay their pensions. Bratheraan they stole your  pension fund money

           (b)AV Singh Committee Report(2004 ) the biggest farce ever played on the ARMED FORCES. eg all Bn/Regt Cdrs and Coy Cdrs & equivalent were brought down by a notch lower and Pensions of these ranks were lowered down in  6CPC & Senior Ranks were brought nearer to the status of BAND MAJORs by creating multiple appointments where as the requirement was none. ALL IN THE NAME OF CADRE REVIEW.

 MORE METAL ON THE SHOULDERS & NO WORK

FOR BABUs THEY HAVE NFFU in simple language haram ka kamai










          O R O P : THE GREAT BETRAYAL

                           AUTHOR

                       NOT KNOWN



The issue of “ One Rank One Pension “ has become not only the the biggest  INDIAN  joke ( or shall we say SCAM ? )  of the Century  ,but  in all likelihood,  maybe  also  a  matter of  immense amusement for  various Armies over the world , especially our neighbours !!





      NOT   MANY  OF  TODAYS  GENERATION KNOW THE GENESIS OF THE “OROP “ CONCEPT . Well, here it is. Till 1973, the Pensions of Armed Forces  were  70% of their last pay drawn , while that of the Civil Govt employees was 30% of their last pay drawn. THIS  WAS  SO , to simply  compensate for the Early Retirement age of Armed Forces as compared to the Civilians ~~ 88% of Military Personnel retire between 35-37 yrs of age, while 92% of the balance retired then at 52 yrs (now at 54 yrs) ~~ whereas ALL  CIVILIANs  retired then  at 58 (now at 60 ) yrs  flat.
               



   However, in 1973, duly regularized by the  3rd Pay
Commission  under CONGRESS,  the Pensions  of  ALL Govt   Servants were  made EQUAL – viz, that of   Armed Forces REDUCED to 50% , while that of Civilians  ENHANCED to 50%  !!








Two  things  are Note-worthy : --- Firstly,   the consolation given
was  that  the Armed Forces will be compensated by a   NEW/UNIQUE
scheme called “ OROP “  in due course !!





And Secondly, God only knows as to how & why all the 3 Chiefs fell for
this grand swindle  !!





THE   REST,  AS  THEY  SAY,  IS  HISTORY  !!



So now you know that it is a matter pending since last 4 Deacades  !!





Incidently, there were  other  many more  equally  sad  monsterities and insults heaped on Armed forces  - Downgrading  the Armed Forces in the Order of Precedences at all levels - starting from the Chiefs brought down from no. 5 to 23 as on date, as also  a Police Inspector became a Class I officer while the JCOs continued to be Class II officers  --- the list is boundless – ANOMALIES  in each subsequent Pay Commissions only  kept   adding up/accumulating , as the politicians & the  Beaurocrats  became more % more bold andoverpowering  due to the SHEEPISHNESS of the Chiefs  !!





India must be the only country in the world where the Armed Forces (whether  Retired or Serving ) have to BEG  and FIGHT for their rights and entitlements  ~~  nowhere in the world the Armed Forces  would so  NAIVE, HELLESS, GULLIBLE, GOD-FEARING and PLIANT.   (( Forget about the Pay and Allowances, they  even have to  starve to death for war-like equipment !!  )). Is there any known case of any country where their Army has to fall back to the Supreme Court so often ?? The Min of Def is generally manned by people from IAS, Indian Railways
Service, Indian Revenue Service etc  !!  India is the only country in
the whole  world NOT having a single Military Officer in the Min of Def ! So where will the professionalism and defence  accumen come from ? The Beaurocrats change ministries every 2-3 years.





Is it not  SHAMEFUL  that a Militaryman  ((  rather,  an  ENTIRE
Army, Navy and the AirForce of a Nation  , whether  IN or OUT of
Uniform ))  and who is considered to be SO  CALLED “” Brave & Fearless“” has to  plead, beg, beseach, wail  and  generally act like the dog in the logo of HMV music (dog on his haunches with folded hands )  for 4  decades  to the Politicians and the Beaurocrats  ??





What a wonderful  set of  cool & calm and “ be  patient “ preaching Military Leadership we have had  in the past and present too  ( and maybe in future also )  who can afford  to  wait  INNOCENTLY  for decades, and who watch HELPLESSLY even when EVERY award by the AFT (Armed Forces Tribunal ) is challanged and  fought tooth & nail by the Min of Def itself  and Min of Finance  right upto the Supreme Court and NOT implemented even after that.   WHO  CAN  FORGET  THE
FAMOUS/INFAMOUS  RANK  PAY  CASE ,  THE  BROADBANDING OF  DISABILITYPENSION CASE, THE NFSU  CASE  etc  etc ??





Even as and when the much  maligned  OROP comes thru, as the Chairman IESM correctly put across,  we DO   NOT  know as on date as to WHAT IS COOKING OR BEING DOLED OUT,  as the Armed Forces are just not Privy to what is on the Files and what is going on between the MoD and the MoF. So , in most likelyhood, it may be a similar case like like the Rank
Pay – be ready to haggle and plead  (  “ submitted for Reconsideration Please “ !! ) and ultimately again go upto Supreme Court again.





               YESTERDAY's  CASE  OF  W/ CDR  KARNIK  and  ONE MORE Air Force  OFFICER





HATs  OFF  TO THESE  TWO  OUTSTANDING  AIR FORCE  OFFICER s  WHO  HAVE DISPLAYED  THE  GUTs  AND   SELF-RESPECT   yesterday  (  by  Defying and  Daring  the System by way of boycotting a SHAM  function by the CM and the RM )  ~~  THEY  HAVE  DONE  TODAY  , WHAT THE ENTIRE
STRENGTH OF 15 Lac  STRONG  ARMED  FORCES  HAVE  NOT  BEEN  ABLE  TO DO  FOR  40  LONG  Yrs  ~~ that is, display strength of character and real Self-Respect  !!





         Shame  on  our serving Leadership today ( and yesteryears too) , who cannot look after their own interests ( NFSU etc ) nor fight for the interests of the Veterans , and that  it  finally
took  a  1971 War  Hero and a Veteren   to show strength of Character and Commitment to Cause,  which they lack so Utterly !!



WHY IS  IT  SO  DIFFICULT  FOR  OUR SENIOR  OFFICERS  TO  BELL  A  CAT ??  WHY  ARE  THE  ARMED  FORCES  SO  SUB-SERVIENT  TO THE POLITICIANs  &  THE  BEAUROCRATs  ?? IS  IT  TOO MUCH  OF REGIMENTATION , THAT  MAKES  AN  ARMYMAN  A  DOCILE  PUPPY  ??




 Can somebody give a logical and plausible/palatable answer to  this Uncomfortable  Mystery  ??





I think there is a lesson to be learnt from the following glaring
'in-your-face' examples  :





~~  MPs/MLAs   &  Judges’   pay  and  allowances  AND  PENSIONs, are proposed and Passed within minutes in the  Parliament and State Assemblies,  and implemented Forthwith – No procedural Hassles come in the way , as being repeatedly claimed by Mr. Parrikar, in case of OROP.




~~    Gurjar  community  Leader Col  Bainsala can bring the Govt down to its knees by merely sitting  on the Rly tracks  for 6 days ,
forcing  cancellation 39 trains including Both Rajdhanis !!





~~~~   Even the lowliest of low cadres of the Govt do not accept any nonsense from the powers that be – be it the Bank staff or the Truckwalas – they know how to get their pound of flesh from the Govt .





            ~~~   When there was no skin off the noses of even the
President of INDIA ( the so called Supreme Commander of Armed Forces ) or the PM or the RM,  even  when the veterans returned their Medals and wrote in blood, does one really think that the brave gesture of 2 gutsy Air Force Officers of Boycotting a function  is really  going to move the Politicians and the wily  Bureaucrats  to tears  ??




            ~~~ The PM (Modi) has already fallen embarrassingly
silent on this  issue after his lofty announcements from pre-election ex Servicemen  podiums and  the  Diwali bash at Siachen, while the visibly shaken and crestfallen  RM (Parrikar) has changed his track from  repeatedly giving  specific PDCs/Deadlines  to mumbling vague statements like " no specific time-frames can be stated as it is a very COMPLEX  ADMINISTRATIVE  PROCESS  !!  ---   It appears that
FINALLY  the Nickel has dropped - they too have realised that  even they are at the total mercy of the Wily & Crafty Beaurocrats --- a MONSTER created  and nurtured by the Nehru's Congress  !!





India can afford to give away millions of $ worth of aid to Nepal,
Bangladesh and EVEN  6400 million aid to a distant and a vague country like Mongolia, but cannot find Rs. 9000 Crores for the Indian Armed Forces  ??





Shamelessly, they come running to the Armed Forces even to extricate children from borewells , not to talk of floods, droughts , riots, earthquake  et al for relief at a drop of a hat !!  Between the two, who do you think are more UnPatriotic ?? The Politicians  or the Bureaucrats  ??



So folks, the  WRITING IS VERY  LOUD & CLEAR ON THE WALL -- One has to be either Totally  Blind or in complete  DENIAL  MODE  Not  to  read the Reality.




In my opinion, a serious rethink  and reFocus is required --  a
paradigm shift  from “passive colonial type  expressions in Victorian English  and  docile tokens  of  gestures “   to  “ more active  and forceful  methods “  of  nudging and waking up our Lords & Masters .





It's time to realize the difference between Discipline  and  Meekness & Submissiveness  !!  After all, YOURs as well as that of the entire Armed Forces'  AAN,  BAAN  &  SHAAN  is at stake.

Dear Members
 
You are aware that an attempt has been made to forge unity of all ESM organizations of India. On 6 June 31 organizations of India met and have decided to forge a joint organization for a special causes which affect maximum ex-servicemen. This joint organization will be called UNITED FRONT OF EX-SERVICEMEN. 
 
 
First joint operation of UNITED FRONT OF EX-SERVICEMEN will be joint agitation from 14 June 15 onwards to convey to Government that ex-servicemen of India are very unhappy on the step son treatment being given to them and will be on streets from 14 June 15 in MAHA SANGRAM RALLY, and relay hunger strike thereafter from 15 June 15. 
 
 
Some disgruntled people who have their allegiance to  some political party or other are spreading canard about cancellation of rally and hunger strike. These people are anti ex-servicemen welfare. 
 
 
 
United Front of Ex-servicemen is confirming that proposed Rally on 14 June 15 will definitely be held as planned to convey to the Government for early release of notification for OROP. Relay hunger strike will also be started from 15 June  
 
 
A notice to be displayed at prominent places is also enclosed. 
 
 
IT IS NOW OR NEVER IF YOU WANT WE NEED TO PUT MAXIMUM PRESSURE ON GOVERNMENT
 
JOIN IN LARGE NUMBERS ON 14 JUNE 2015 SUNDAY AT JANTAR MANTAR AT 1000H
 
WE WILL BE DEPOSITING A TRANCHE OF GALLANTRY MEDALS TO PRESIDENT TO CONVEY OUR ANGUISH WITH UNNECESSARY DELAY IN ISSUING OROP NOTIFICATION.

Dear Veterans

You are aware that unity conclave of major ESM organizations was held at constitution club Delhi on 6 June 15. The report has been sent separately. The conclave achieved the aims of unity of ESM organizations for fighting battle of OROP. All present unanimously decided to participate in MAHA SANGRAM RALLY at JANTAR MANTAR on 14 June 15. 

 
The fever for rally is rising, momentum is building up to a crescendo. ESM pan India are very charged up to participate in Maha Sangram Rally and Relay hunger strike thereafter. ESM pan India are very unhappy and disappointed with the undue delay in issuance of notification of OROP. Similar rallies and relay hunger strikes are being planned all over India in 50 town. ESM from 14 states have confirmed their participation in the rally and HS. Most heartening news is that ex chiefs have also joined the crusade for OROP. Admiral Madhavendra singh ex Chief of Naval Staff  has pledged support for agitation and contributed Rs 21000/ for the agitation. Dear Veterans it is everyone's agitation now. Veterans are whole heartedly contributing to offset the expenditure on rally and agitation. 

 
IESM very humbly thanks veterans all over India for joining agitation with enthusiasm AND FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION

Some brave veterans have expressed their desire to sit on hunger strike till death. This is an indication of their frustration and disappointment with Governments. IESM salutes their spirit. One of them is a civilian and is ready to die for the cause of ESM. IESM is talking to them and attempting to persuade them that there will be no need to take this extreme step, but as of now they are determined and are wanting to be first in the true spirit of Armed Forces Motto.   It is very sad commentary that our Governments have been callous towards the brave sons of soil, who have fought wars and secured BOUNDRY of India all their lives. Brave sons of India are being denied their place of respect in society. Here is a proud Indian who not only respects the sacrifices of Armed Forces but is ready to lay his life for their welfare. 

MAY GOD SAVE INDIA FROM ITS  SELF SERVING POLITICIANS
                          AND
                    BUREAU  -  C  -   RATS.


 
Dear veterans it is now or never. Your hesitation now will push OROP by another 10 years. JOIN IN LARGE NUMBERS TO SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO GOVERNMENT THAT FOUJI GUSSA HAI. 


 
SEE YOU ALL IN THE RALLY IN JANTAR MANTAR ON 14 JUNE 2015 SUNDAY.

EX-SERVICEMEN MAHA SANGRAM RALLY
FROM 1000H TO 1400H ON 14 JUNE 15
 AT JANTAR MANTAR NEW DELHI
 
EXSERVICMEN ARE DISAPPOINTED WITH NDA GOVERNMENT.
  
IESM calls for a Maha Sangram ESM Rally from 1000h to 1400h on 14 June 15 Sunday at JANTAR MANTAR NEW DELHI. ALL EX-SERVICEMEN ARE REQUESTED TO COME IN LARGE NUMBER TO EXERT MAXIMUM PRESSURE ON GOVERNMENT FOR RELEASE OF OROP NOTIFICATION AT THE EARLIEST.
 
IESM appreciates Wg Cdr SD Karnik and Wg Cdr KV Bopardikar for politely refusing felicitation by the Defense Minister in Pune. This step has forced the Government to think and has exposed the Government for intentionally delaying OROP.  Media cell of IESM has been working overtime to ensure that OROP is extensively covered by all channels.  GB IESM has their ears tuned to ground realities and act on even small rumblings.
 
Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi has made an appeal on Radio on 31 May 15 to Armed Forces Personnel and Ex-servicemen that OROP is his commitment and it will be released soon. Some ex-servicemen are very impressed with this announcement and are suggesting postponement of proposed agitation.  IESM HAS FULL FAITH ON SINCERITY OF ANNOUCEMENT OF HONORABLE PRIME MINISTER BUT FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHY HE COULD NOT GIVE A DEFINITE TIME FRAME FOR OROP ANNOUNCEMENT AND SECONDLY HINT ABOUT SEARCH FOR PLEASE ALL DEFINITION OF OROP IS A HINT FOR DILUTION OF APPROVED DEFINITION OF OROP. A detailed study of the speech and interview with Tribune indicates that PM has said that his Government is elected for five years and he will find solution. Does it mean that Honorable PM is asking ESM to wait till may be five yrs till he finds solution to so called complex problem of OROP? Veterans! OROP definition is approved and sealed. The definition is sacrosanct and there is no scope of dilution. What PM is hinting at is please all definition that means tweaking with the definition to please bureaucrats. Would ESM accept it? IESM says NO.
 
Announcement of OROP has been delayed without any justifiable reason. OROP should have been approved in just one month of NDA assuming power but OROP has been put in circles by NDA Government which came to power on promise of GOOD GOVERNANCE. MOOT QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF GOOD GOVERNACE IS THIS WHEN A PRIME MINISTER IS UNABLE TO HONOUR HIS COMMITMENT TO ARMED FORCES even after ONE YEAR.
 
EFFORTS FOR UNITY
 
IESM has called for a meeting at 1000h on 6 June 15 Saturday of ESM organizations to join up and put up a united front for fight for OROP. All organizations are invited to attend the meeting for UNITY. Additional activities approved by the conclave will be intimated to all separately.
 
ACTION PLAN OF AGITATION FROM 14 JUNE 2015
 
IESM has announced a MAHA SANGRAM RALLY on 14 June 15 SUNDAY at 1000h to 1400h at JANTAR MANTAR.
  1. Ask Govt to approve OROP and issue notification at the earliest.
  2. OROP has been approved by two parliaments and is a statute now. How can any Government dilly dally on the issue?
  3. OROP definition is sacrosanct and has been approved by Parliament. Any dilution in the definition will not be accepted.
  4. Relay hunger strike by ESM every day from 15 June 2015 at Jantar mantar till Government issues notification for OROP.
  5. Similar Maha Sangrarm rallies and relay hunger strikes will be held in state capitals and wherever there is a large density of ESM. Main towns are Patna, Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Ghazipur, Jhunjhunu, Karnal, Hissar, Jhajjhar, Bahadurgarh, Panchkula, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Bhatinda, Ludhiana, Bhopal, Reva, Mangalore, Bangaluru, Chennai, Tiruvanatpuram. ESM in more than 30  towns in India will sit in hunger strike.
  6. Another tranche of Gallantry medals will be returned to the President of India.
All state conveners of IESM are requested to arrange relay HUNGER STRIKE in their state from 15 June 15 to complement the agitation being organized at Delhi  


DEAR VETERANS IT IS NOW OR NEVER. ANY HESITATION NOW WILL PUT OROP IN SPIN FOR 30 MORE YEARS. IT IS YOUR CHOICE NOW.


 
All ex-servicemen are requested to attend MAHA SANGRAM RALLY AT JANTAR MANTAR ON 14 JUNE 14 in large numbers to push for early issue of notification of OROP.


Ex-servicemen from 14 states of India have confirmed their participation in the rally.


 
IESM RESPECTS HONORABLE PM AND HAS FULL FAITH IN HIS ASSURANCES. THIS RALLY IS NOT TO CONFRONT THE GOVERNMENT BUT TO POLITELY COMMUNICATE TO GOVERNMENT OUR DISAPPOINTMENT IN UNDUE DELAY IN APPROVING OROP. DEAR PRIME MINISTER SIR, OROP IS NOT COMPLICATED AS HAS BEEN TOLD TO YOU SIR. IT IS SIMPLE AND MEANS
 “SAME PENSION FOR SAME RANK FOR SAME DURATION OF SERVICE. ALL FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS TO BE AUTOMATICALLY PASSED ON TO PAST PENSIONERS”.

O R O P: EX-SERVICEMEN MEET FINANCE MINISTER 10 JUN 2015












                                                                   OROP


                  EX-SERVICEMEN MEET
           FINANCE MINISTER 10  JUN 2015




Following ex-servicemen of UNITED FRONT OF EX-SERVICEMEN met Finance Minister Sh Arun Jaitley on 10 June at 1900h. This meeting was facilitated by Gen VK Singh.
Following ex-servicemen met Sh Arun Jaitley.


Lt Gen SK Bahiri PVSM
Lt Gen VK Chaturvedi
Maj Gen Satbir Singh SM
Gp Capt VK Gandhi VSM
Col Anil Kaul VrC


Ministers of state, Gen VK Singh and Col Rajyavardhan Rathore also attended the meeting


The Meeting started with the assurance from Sh Arun Jaitley that decision has been taken to implement OROP. But he wanted to discuss some more definition which would be acceptable to all and also which will result in least litigations in future.

It was very clearly communicated to him that the approved definition is the only definition and will be the ONLY ONE acceptable to all. This definition would not lead to any litigation.

He however suggested some more definitions but the delegation did not accept any definition and stuck to the approved definition. 


 He further informed that the expenditure secretary had put up OROP calculations to him which he had not accepted so far.


He further suggested that it would be better if ex-servicemen discuss the model given by Expenditure secretary along-with Armed forces pay cell reps. His suggestion of giving the problem to the 7th pay commission for resolution was rejected outright.

 
Towards end Sh Arun Jaitley once again suggested that ex-servicemen should propose an affordable definition. He was told that,  "Sir while the Government approves thousands of crores without hesitation on so many schemes for various sections of society but when it comes to Armed Forces welfare the Government starts counting pennies”.


The Meeting ended with assurance that we would meet again as Sh Arun Jaitley was to attend another important meeting

Dear Veterans
 
 
I have also heard PM's address on AIR and media channels. I have also read his interview to Tribune. I will request you to kindly read the tribune interview little more seriously and with a magnifying glass. Please read the full Interview at  
 
 
Important point in this interview is that he has confirmed that Govt is not sure of definition of OROP, He is looking for a definition which will please all (including bureaucrats and CDA ). Pl understand once this definition is written by a bureaucrat/CDA and is issued we will regret that day. The letter will be issued without any consultations with any one. Our Service hq even if they are consulted will not be able to oppose strongly. It has been one year but no attention has been paid to this issue. Whatever time has been given to this issue it was only to distort the definition. Moreover Mr Modi has confirmed that his Govt is for five years and they will take decision in five years. Sir you can believe bureaucrats if you so wish, IESM some how looks at this commitment with apprehension.
 
I had also heard the speech of Mr Modi before sending that mail. I had pondered over it and came to conclusion that he has confirmed his commitment without giving any definite schedule. Veterans must not   loose the momentum now, we will not be able to generate this momentum again and hence must communicate our disappointment with Government with all the force and support available with us.  
 
IESM still firmly believes that we must meet on 6 June 15 and deliberate seriously. This is not the time to weaken our movement. We must do everything to strengthen the movement. 
 
Everyone has a  right to follow his mind.
