 THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE IN RETIRED BANKERS GOOGLE BLOG
Dear friends,

 It is surprising that a land mark judgement delivered by the Supreme Court
of India on 01 07 2015, Civil Appeal no. 1123 of 2015 has gone unnoticed
and except for a brief letter from Shri S R Sen Gupta to IBA, no other
union has taken any steps. The salient features of the judgement:
1. The bench has authoritatively ruled that Pension is a right and the
payment of it does not depend upon the discretion of the Government.
Pension is governed by rules and a Government Servant coming within those
rules is entitled to claim pension.
 
.The judgement has recognised that the revision of pension and revision of
pay scales are INSEPARABLE.

 3.The bench has reiterated that on revision the Basic pension cannot be
less than 50% of the Basic Pension in the minimum of the Pay Band in the
revised scale corresponding to the pre-revised scale.

 4.The government CANNOT take a plea of financial burden to deny legitimate
dues of the pensioners.

 5.The Government SHOULD AVOID unwarranted litigation and not to encourage
any litigation for the sake of litigation.

 6. When pension is upheld to be a right and NOT A BOUNTY, as a corollary to
the averment that revision of pension and revision of pay scales are
INSEPARABLE, upgradation of pension is also a RIGHT AND NOT A BOUNTY.
THE JUDGEMENT IS BASED ON THE DECISION ON D S NAKARA CASE.
The above details are available in the latest issue of Canara Bank Retired
Officer's Association Circular no 3/2016 dated 1st August 2015.

 The judgement is very clear and I wonder how no one has noticed the
important aspects and why no one has taken up the matter with the IBA/Govt.
Why no one has reacted to the judgement is surprising and perplexing.
While agitation is on why can't we take recourse to court also as Supreme
Court advocates are offering their services. One ruling by SC that govt
can't deny pension for lack of funds regarding OROP every year and VRS case
Dear Citizens

Forward this msg to a minimum of twenty people on your contact list; and in
turn ask each of them to do likewise.

In three days, most people in India will have this message.
This is one idea that really should be passed around.

WHY PAKISTAN ARMY OFFICERS WEARS "KHAKI SHORTS" !!!

    WHY PAKISTAN ARMY OFFICERS              WEAR  "KHAKI SHORTS" !!!



A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle, the French captured an English colonel.

They took him to their headquarters, and the French general began to question him.

Finally, as an afterthought, the French general asked, 'Why do you English officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?'

In his bland English way, the officer informed the general that the reason English officers wear red coats is if they are shot the blood won't show, and the men they are leading won't panic.

Coming to know this and acknowledging the excellent idea, Pakistani Army officers wear khaki pants.

India will spend $6.1 billion dollars for five S-400 Missile Systems

After a rare intervention by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, India's Air Defence Acquisition plans for the next decade has been altered helping the country save 49,300 crores of taxpayers money.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar ordered a review of the 15 year long term plan to purchase new air defence systems upto 2027.

The concluded review which involved a technical study and an evaluation of all available air defence systems in the world has resulted in a decision by the air force to induct the Russian S-400 Missile System to protect Indian skies for the next decade.

Air defence strategy hinges around three layers - a short range system that protects high value installations upto 25 km, a medium range system that covers an area of around 40 km and a long range system for threats coming from further.
The review and evaluation suggest that with the S400 acquisition, the long term acquisition plan for over 100 each Medium and Short range systems have been cut down. The Air Force would not need greater number of Medium and Short Range Missiles if threats could be eliminated by the S-400 at longer ranges.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar is in favour of inducting the S-400 that can cover a larger area compared to other Medium and Short Range Missile Systems.


Five S-400 Systems to be inducted for $6.1 bn ::
With the current review process completed, the Ministry of Defence has come to a conclusion of inducting five Russian S-400 Missile Systems at a total cost of $6.1 billion.

It will be the most expensive air defence system ever bought by India.

A price tag of $6.1 billion may seem to be staggering but on a per square km covered basis, the S-400 is the cheapest of all known systems available globally.

INDO - TIBET :Expanding Chinese Infrastructure On Indian Border

Expanding Chinese Infrastructure On Indian Border – Analysis

 Three key focus areas of China’s massive infrastructure build up along the Sino-Indian border are: (a) integrating the border region to Chinese mainland,(b) accessibility to the Line of Actual Control (LAC),(c) and strengthening counter offensive capabilities. This calls for an urgent attention from New Delhi as a reactionary policy would not suffice.
 

 

 

Some positive developments in past years notwithstanding, Sino-Indian bilateral relations continue to be marred by the war both countries fought 54 years ago. The Line of Actual Control (LAC) that divides both is not recognized by China. Many Indian thinkers acknowledge the LAC is drawn with an ink of perception. India’s perception of what constitutes part of its territory is vastly different from that of the Chinese. An extension of its unambiguous claim over the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, Beijing in the past years has stepped up its border infrastructure projects. This enables the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to retain a clear advantage in military mobilization and capabilities vis-a-vis their Indian counterparts. Indian response, on the contrary, has been reactionary.

 

Beijing’s steadily growing infrastructure build up along LAC include roads, railway line, and fibre optics following a three pronged strategy. Firstly, it aims at integrating its front lying region with Chinese mainland – a strategy most visible in China’s infrastructure projects in Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), which it occupied in 1949. A defense buildup for quick mobilization supported by a strong air defense system and an uncomplicated administrative framework, is the second objective of this strategy. And thirdly, the strategy is all about extending China’s accessibility to the LAC through rail networks, and in many cases using some of the bordering countries like Nepal and Pakistan to strengthen its strategic hold in the border areas.

Highways to ‘Sinocize’ Tibet

Entire TAR is connected to China’s mainland and interiors by ‘all weather’ road networks. Key TAR highway networks of China are:

• The Eastern Highway that connects Chengdu in Sichuan Province and Linzhi (Ngiti) in the TAR up to Lhasa. The highway, originally called the Kangding-Tibet Highway, is a high-elevation road starting from Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, on the east and ending at Lahsa, capital of TAR, on the west. With a South Line length of 2,115 kilometres and North Line length of 2,414 kilometres, building of Eastern Highway started in April 1950, and was opened for traffic on 25 December 1954.

• The Central Highway connects Xining in Qinghai Province to Lhasa. Also called the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, this road network was opened along with the Eastern Highway in 1954. It was asphalted in 1985 and is said to be the world’s longest asphalt road. More than 80 percent of freight transport go via this highway. Three major overhauls of the highway has cost nearly three billion yuan ($362 million).

• The Western Highway connects Xinjiang Province to the TAR, by linking Kashgar and Lhasa. After a diversion to Khunjerab Pass it subsequently becomes the Karakoram Highway and touches Gilgit in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). It is 3,105 kilometres long.

• The 716 kilometres-long Yunnan-Tibet Highway connects the provinces of Yunnan and the TAR. It branches off from the Eastern Highway and then connects to Yunnan and the

TAR.(Figure 1: Road Map of Tibet, Source: Tibet Travel Planner) 




In November 2013, China opened an all weather road linking Medog County in the TAR, which is also close to the Indian border in Arunachal Pradesh (referred as ‘South Tibet’ by China), to the rest of China. With this, every TAR county is connected to a highway network in China. In July 2013, the Chinese government announced that it will spend about 200 billion Yuan or $32.3 billion to build a road network centred around Lhasa and extend the combined length of the TAR’s highways to over 110,000 kilometres.


Expanding its communication network is yet another important  feature of integrating the border region with the Chinese mainland. As many as 665 townships of the TAR have been connected with Optic Fibre Cable (OFC). This project effectively covers 97.5 percent of all townships in the TAR. About 3231 villages (61.4 percent of all villages) have access to broadband internet.

Support system for border forces

As per a 2015 estimate, China has positioned about 300,000 People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops and six Rapid Reaction Forces or RPF at Chengdu in the TAR. The focus seems to be on creating a reliable and robust support system for this front line force. For instance all Military Supply Depots are connected to Lhasa by radio and OFC establishing real-time connectivity. China has a single unified Commander responsible for the armed forces in the TAR and along Indian border.

The most important line of support for the border forces, however, is the air mobility and helicopter-borne military operations. China already has five operational airfields in the TAR region- at Gongar, Pangta, Linchi, Hoping, and Gar Gunsa.


Plans are underway to construct newer airfields and upgrading advanced landing grounds (ALGs) and helipads which will strengthen People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) fighter aircrafts’ striking range. The PLAAF operations has apparently intensified since 2012 when it carried out weapon firing trials at high altitude ranges in the TAR for the first time. Currently, two regiments of 24 aircraft, J-10s and J-11s, operate virtually on a permanent basis from the TAR airfields. Their operational philosophy in TAR is said to be focusing on strong air defence to create local air dominance, and support to ground forces primarily for integrated airborne assault operations.

Karakoram Highway

The Karakoram Highway (KKH) that connects Abbottabad in Punjab (Pakistan) to Kashgar in Xinjiang region of China has generated much concerns in New Delhi. The Karakoram ranges also form the de facto border along the LAC.  It consists of the Ladakh region in India, Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and touches the Aksai Chin region occupied by China. The construction of Karakoram Highway, China’s only overland link to Pakistan, began in 1967. Initially built jointly by Pakistan and China, it is maintained by China. There are proposals to transform KKH into an economic corridor, also referred to as the Karakoram Corridor (KC), by making it into an all-weather expressway. Five 7( seven )kilometre-long tunnels have been constructed to ensure year-round land connectivity. In September 2015, the Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif inaugurated the tunnels, also called Also called the Pakistan-China Friendship Tunnels. Fears have been expressed in New Delhi that these tunnels could be used not only for rapid movement of troops and material from China and Pakistan or for stationing missiles in PoK. During the Soviet War in Afghanistan the highway was used to equip the Taliban.

Pakistan had also used this road network to ship American weapon systems to China for reverse engineering. China can indeed use the KKH network to watch over Indian activities in the region through listening posts and advanced surveillance bases in PoK. The air fields in PoK might be used against India by the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) to its benefit.


With the unveiling of the $46 billion China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in April 2015, the KKH has assumed a new strategic dimension. The corridor will extend the KKH till Pakistan’s port city of Gwadar in Balochistan. Once the Gwadar port is connected to the KKH through the CPEC, it will help transport of goods docked at Gwadar port directly to China. Analysts suggest the corridor will help China evade any threat from Indian or US naval presence in the Indian Ocean.

Trains to LAC

Railway networks seem to be the next line of strategy for China to enhance accessibility to the LAC. Networks like the well known Qinghai-Tibet Railway connecting to Lhasa, is said to be focusing on mobility of troops in the LAC.




(Figure 2: Qinghai Tibet Railway Map, Source: Tibet Discovery)  [ http://www.tibetdiscovery.com/train-to-tibet/ ]



The Lhasa–Shigatse or Lari Railway line, which was completed in July 2014, connects Lhasa to the city of Shigatse or Xigaze, which borders India’s Sikkim, apart from Nepal and Bhutan. Similarly, China has also started construction of the Lhasa-Nyingchi railway line in 2012. Nyingchi is a prefecture-level city in southeast of the TAR. As per reports, the Lhasa to Nyingchi line will be 402 kilometers long, costing $6 billion.






(Figure 3: China-Tibet train route, Source: Tibetan Review)



Efforts are also on to complete construction of the Lhasa-Yatung railway line by 2020. Yatung sits at the entry point of Chumbi Valley in Tibet and is connected to the Indian state of Sikkim via the Nathula Pass. Similarly, work on the Lhasa-Linzhi railway line is also work in progress. Linzhi is located at about 70-80 kilometres from the Indian border. Of particular interest is the 770-kilometre Lhasa-Khasa railway line which China began constructing in 2008. Located near Nepal border this line extends from Kashgar in the Xinjiang Province to Aksai Chin.


With China’s increasing profile in Nepal, the Lhasa-Khasa railway line could strategically strengthen Beijing’s hold on Aksai Chin, the territory claimed by India as its own. The rail link is likely to be aligned with the Friendship Highway from Shigatse or Xigaze to Khasa, and further till Kathmandu.

Conclusion

Contrary to this, report of the Indian Parliament’s Standing Committee on Defence, released in 2013-2014 terms the Indian infrastructure along the Sino-Indian border to be in a dismal state.


 Of the 73 all-weather roads, along the Sino-Indian border that India had identified for construction in 2006, just 18 have been completed. Of the 27 roads that were to be constructed by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) forces deployed along India’s border with Tibet – just one is complete with “as many as eleven roads behind schedule” and even their detailed project reports not yet finalized. The plans to construct 14 strategic railway lines near the border have registered “nil achievement.” Even though border infrastructure has received precedence under the Modi government, even the task of catching up with China appears to be mired in glorious uncertainties.

OROP Activist Retd Wing Commander Sharma Whisked Away

No warrant, wife not informed where veteran taken by police

Posted by

Ishan Kukreti

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs Aroona Sharma was feeling hysterical. Yesterday evening, five men in civilian clothes had come and taken her 75-year-old husband, Wing Commander (Retd) CK Sharma, with them. Five men from Haryana Police

“They will kill him! You know what the police is like,” a panic-stricken Mrs Sharma rambled, trying to locate her husband’s phone.


On March 10, Wing Commander (retd) CK Sharma was arrested by Haryana Police, at around 5pm, on charges of financial fraud. His family claims that the police didn’t explain the charges and entered their home under false pretenses.


“A tall man holding a bouquet of flowers was the first to ring the bell,” said Mrs Sharma. “He asked me if my husband was home. My husband felt it was fishy and said we didn’t want any flowers.”


The first man and four more just pushed their way into the veteran’s house. Mrs. Sharma dialed 100, but the response she got panicked her further. “First I could not get through,” she said. “Then when I finally did and told the operator about the situation, the only reply I got was, ‘ Sorry, we can’t help you’.”




This response was particularly alarming for the family, because apart from being a war veteran, Sharma is also the treasurer of the Indian Ex-servicemen Movement (IESM) and a prominent face in the One-Rank-One-Pension (OROP) movement. Sharma and two other OROP protestors, Major General Satbir Singh and Captain VK Gandhi, were accused of financial fraud by Lt. General Kadyan, the former chairman of IESM. Kadyan accused the three of withdrawing Rs 7 lack from the IESM fund for personal use. Singh is the chairman, Gandhi is the secretary and Sharma is the treasurer of IESM.


The accusations don’t sound credible to the vice chairman of IESM, Major General (retd.) Renjen. According to Renjen, the story of the arrest starts with the removal of Kadyan as the chairman of IESM. “He was involved in various anti-IESM activities, like meeting politicians alone without taking a delegation along,” said Renjen of Kadyan. “He was removed as the chairman following proper procedure. Since his removal, he has been trying to file false charges against our members.”


This is not the first time Kadyan has targeted his colleagues. In the past, his charges were rejected twice by the police and the lower court. Yet this time, when Kadyan went to a higher court, an arrest order was issued, without any inquiry


Renjen described the charges against Sharma and the other two leaders as “baseless”. He said Rs 7 lakh had been withdrawn, but to organize rallies. “Whatever was spent was spent and the balance, I think around Rs. 4 lakh, was deposited back,” said Renjen, adding that IESM has an annual audit by an independent auditor done every year.

Although the lower court in Gurgaon rejected an anticipatory bail application, Chandigarh High Court has given anticipatory bail to the three veterans. However, this doesn’t help Sharma since he is already in custody. At the time of filing this story, Sharma’s family was in Gurgaon court, waiting for the bail order from High Court which they would use to argue for his bail in the lower court.

Speaking over the phone, Mrs. Sharma said, “He was a class 1 gazetted officer and they kept him locked in a civil cell. That’s illegal. This man has fought two wars for India. Every time he was in the air, he risked his life for this country and this is how he is treated?”

Wing Commander C K Sharma, a prominent face in the campaign for One Rank One Pension Scheme, has been arrested for alleged financial irregularitie. (File Photo)

New Delhi:  A retired officer of the Indian Air Force, Wing Commander C K Sharma -- a prominent face in the campaign for One Rank One Pension Scheme -- has been arrested for alleged financial irregularities in connection with an organisation for veterans and their widows.

The Wing Commander was the treasurer of the Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement or IESM. The police said he will be produced in court tomorrow.

In a Facebook post, his daughter Nisha Sharma said: "My father Wing Commander CK Sharma (Retd) has been very active in OROP fight... 5 police men just half hour ago barged into parents house, threw his phone away ans physically picked him and carried him away (sic)."

Lieutenant General Raj Kadian (Retd), also a prominent face in the OROP movement, told NDTV that the arrest was made following his complaint to the police and court in 2013 and 2015.

"I had filed complaint in 2013... I feel bad to have had complained against my colleagues," but "I had duty" towards the larger community of ex- servicemen, he told NDTV.

Major General Satbir Singh, the face behind the continuing OROP agitation, could not be reached for comments despite repeated attempts.

Contradicting General Kadiayan, IESM, in a social media post, said the arrest was "despite" an order from the Punjab and Haryana High Court against "arbitrary action" by the police.

Last September, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar announced that OROP will be implemented from July 2014, fulfilling a four-decade demand of the armed forces. OROP, the minister said, would cost the exchequer between Rs 8000- 10,000 crore "at present and will increase in the future."

The first tranche of the OROP payments have already been made. A section of the veterans, however, have been holding on demanding equalisation of pension every year as against every 5 years as proposed by the government.

The movement, however, lost traction among a large section of retired soldiers after last September's announcement.

REPORT MY SIGNAL

 

10 Mar 16.

Dear Indian Military Veterans and Veer Naris,

Jai Hind.

 

Please read the email from Jantar Mantar its enclosure below.

 

In spite of the fact that first police investigation had cleared Maj Gen Satbir Singh, Wg Cdr CK Sharma and Gp Capt Gandhi from the false reports of misappropriation of IESM funds filed by “The Kadyan”, again the case was filed by “The Kadyan” in court but the court again rejected the case.

 

Ultimately, in third attempt, with all the high-up connections (probably with political back up to kill the OROP agitation), “The Kadyan” has managed to get Wg Cdr CK Sharma  arrested under economic offence. And police are likely to arrest Gen Satbir and Gp Gandhi also.

 

“The Kadyan” has not only put IESM to shame but he has put the entire Armed Forces Community to disgrace.
Entire media is laughing at us.

 

The entire Governing Body of IESM knows “The Kadyan” very well and they all fully support Gen Satbir fully as the Chairman of IESM.

I was myself a member of the Governing Body, when due to unsoldierly behaviour of “The Kadyan”, he was unanimously removed from the Chairmanship of IESM and primary membership of IESM.

 

I appeal to ALL ESM and Veer Naris to find ways and means to resolve this dirty state created by “The Kadyan”.

Please make full use of the social media to ensure that we all support Maj Gen Satbir Singh and his entire team who are conducting the OROP agitation.

 

In service of Indian Armed Forces Veterans of All Ranks
& Families Around the World

PRESS RELEASE

 

HARYANA POLICE’s HIGH-HANDEDNESS AGAINST EX-SERVICEMAN

 

 

In the dead of night on 10 March, 75 years old medically unwell,  Wing Commander CK Sharma (Retd) , Treasurer of the  Indian Ex-Servicemen’s Movement (IESM),was picked up by the Haryana Police from his Gurgaon residence on flimsy charges filed by a disgruntled former functionary of IESM about some alleged financial discrepancy in the OROP related accounts . The case is three years old  , which was investigated twice over earlier by the same very Police and  had been dismissed by it  both times on the grounds that the charges were untenable .  Even though the case was in the Punjab and Haryana High Court for anticipatory bail against the denial of the same by the lower court, and it was verbally conveyed by the Hon’ble  Court on 10 March to the defendants’ lawyer  that no pre-emptive  action was to be taken till the hearing on 11 March, and the same was conveyed to the police, yet the police arrested the Ex-Serviceman in a very humiliating manner, who was not even allowed to make phone calls or change from his night suit to normal clothes. It was a case of financial nature but the police acted in such a highhanded manner which is not even used against the confirmed terrorists. Our system is great, wherein , likes of Vijay Mallya, who defrauded the banks of Rs 9000 crores, are allowed to leave the country, whereas  poor Treasurer of the IESM is arrested and  hauled over coals for a small amount !!

 

This  act seems to be possibly of coercing the Ex-Servicemen to close down their ongoing agitation at the Jantar Mantar  (JM) , with regards to the rectification of enormous anomalies in the OROP as notified by the Govt earlier .

 

It is worth noting that about a month back the very same police were found hiding when Haryana was burning as the result of violent Jat Agitation for reservation and miserably failed to stop the riots . Where was the police when property worth thousands of crores was destroyed, hundreds of vehicles burnt and women violated and even allegedly gang raped? Now, the same cowardly police shows its might and bravery against a helpless and hapless , ailing, old retired Air Warrior ! Least they could have done was to show some civility to someone who gave his youth for this country.

 

We the Ex-Servicemen and all other like minded persons highly condemn the uncalled for and extremely highhandedness of Haryana Police. We demand a judicial inquiry it to the same and  severe  action against the defaulters .
