Dear Veterans
You are all aware that Govt has played a big joke on Ex-servicemen by announcing OROP on 5 Sep 2015. Surprisingly the three chiefs were present during the announcement by the RM but did not raise their voice against this unilateral and unjust announcement of OROP. Some ESM organisation connected to BJP are conducting a Dhanyavad rally to thank BJP on announcing this faulty OROP. Very sorry state and in-fact it is back stabbing to all ex-servicemen.
UFESM has studied the declaration of OROP in detail and have noticed seven deficiencies in it. It is for the information of all that this announcement is short of full OROP and all ranks from sepoy to officers will lose several thousand in their pension as compared to full OROP. Moreover there is a doubt that even 7 CPC will not be given to AF Personnel, which will be a great loss. Accepting this announcement will be against the welfare of all ex-servicemen and veer naris. UFESM has therefore rejected this unilateral and unjustified declaration of OROP. Government is being arrogant and wishes to force their order down our throat and call it a fulfilling of their promise of OROP. UFESM will not accept it. This is democracy and no one even Govt can force its view on its lawful citizen and ex-servicemen. Accordingly UFESM is continuing with the RHS and agitation at JM as a mark of protest. A grand EKTA rally was organised on 12 Sept 15 which was attended by more than 50000 ESM from 14 states to express their anguish and opposition to this unilateral declaration. The rally and its conduct has been reported and appreciated all over the world despite the gag order by Govt in India.
UFESM had earlier given a call to
- Boycott all Government and Military function as a mark of protest against non implementation of OROP as per approved definition. This ban still holds and UFESM requests all ESM to send a polite but firm regret for all invites for such function.
- Fly black flags on top of your house as a mark of protest to this illegal and half cocked declaration of OROP.
Next big rally has been announced by UFESM for mid December to show our unhappiness with the Govt decision.
In Delhi we are sending our regret for invites for such functions. All ESM must also follow the same and convey our unhappiness to Govt.

OROP is our right. Dilution in OROP will NOT be accepted.
IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WITHOUT A SMILE GIVE HIM ONE OF YOURS.

Dear All
You must have got an SMS invite for the function at AFMC on 18 Sep 2015 at 1945 hrs.IESM requests all Veterans to boycott the function in view of the Governments attitude to wards the veterans in that whilst we are being ignored and ill treated they are trying to glorify the 1965 war and indirectly show false respect for the Veterans and armed forces.Kindly join the boycott.BrgdsPathakCdr Ravindra Waman Pathak I.N.
