A
special meeting was called by RM on 10 Dec 14 to which reps of 3
recognized Ex-servicemen Associations, including DIWAVE, were invited.
The officials who attended the meeting included DG(PS), DGR, MD (ECHS),
Secretary KSB, AFA, Joint CGDA and JS (ESW), in addition to RRM and Secy
(ESW).
2.Stating that the primary focus of meeting was OROP, RM
sought the views of the Associations on the issue . We responded that
the organization that is spearheading the issue is IESM who had already
briefed him yesterday and that we had nothing more to add.
3.
After listening to Lt Gen Balbir Singh, President IESL’s arguments, RM
stated that the implementation of OROP was not in doubt as it was a
solemn commitment of the Govt and BJP. The only question was of
modalities for future increases i.e. dynamic adjustments or in slabs. A
view was expressed that while granting increments until end 2015, the 7th CPC
could be asked to give formula for future adjustments. On the question
of expenditure figures, it was pointed out that whatever be the amount,
it would not appear significant when compared with Rs.12500 crores as
the cost of each DA installment which is twice a year. Also, a
commitment is commitment, whatever be the cost.
4.
After hearing pros and cons, RM indicated that he was in a better
picture and that while he would not like to bind himself with a time
frame, he is keen to take final decision as soon as possible.
5.
Before the meeting ended, we did bring to RM’s attention 2 priority
issues – a. Attitude and functioning of DESW and b. The dire need to
reduce litigation by effecting 4-5 changes in current pension policies.
It was decided that a small group comprising DIWAVE reps and DESW
officials would discuss the issues and put up recommendations to RRM
& RM. RM indicated that he would have no hesitation in withdrawing
legal cases if so warranted. Also, by end Jan15 he would call another
meeting on such issues.
3.
With reference to some reports about Shri Harbans Singh, former Dir /JS
Pensions likely to be brought back, we made it clear that such a step
would be retrogressive, because of his anti-veteran approach and the
fact the he alone was responsible for proliferating mindless litigation
against the disabled and war widows. The point was taken note of.
This game of the Cat playing with the Mouse must end . The deceptive strategy of modalities being worked out is in full force and such gatherings are just red herrings . Modalities must be countered by another Bonus March

ReplyDeleteSir,
ReplyDeletePl send the OROP table to my mail ID.nandireddygogula@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteReally, I should laugh on the maturity of people. They started to ask the chart
of OROP even nothing has decided by Government. Only we are getting
assurance since last government only. Let us have patience and something should be visible. It is only ray of hope.
YES u r correct only a lilypop in frt of soldiers to make them fool again , by this 4to 8 weeks they will find out some new idea for that babus are there may be like that will be going on till next election only ray of false promise by our PM
ReplyDeletewill continue so start to do some thing like all political party and union then only you may get some thing netas and babus are not interested for defense, they are interested to procure some arm for their..... and their family and frd let soldire and their family die no issue for them they will cry for that only 02 days 26th Jan and 15th Aug so asking orop pension table and thinking that govt is looking to us may be make us fool so please wait.
Why the people are crazy on OROP table. Everything is on a wastage as present Government is afraid on Bureaucrats Lobbies/mafias and they do not have any guts on control on Bureaucrats. Our main enemy is is not a Lashkar E Taiba, Taliban, Pakistan or China but our main enemy is Bureaucrats only
ReplyDeleteThe new Raksha Mantari is very keen on reducing OROP benefit by 20% denying full benefit to ex servicemen, Can this gentleman and his bureaucrats perform 20% duty of soldier at the border where they are facing the bullets of enemy.It is high time for the soldiers to turn about and face such people those are real enemy for your future and your family
ReplyDeleteAll the babus and politicos should be given their offices on the border along with our jawans, let them do their duty from hard living areas. When ever, where ever orop question is asked the immediate reply is modalities are being worked out , they are working out since decades. I would like to share something here, we had one accounts guy with us in eastern sector we were about 200 plus he used to call us by our service Nos instead of names such brilliant he was , like that there are so many guys in our services, and these people want decades to implement orop isn't it funny, they want to thwart away this orop, that 20% which they want to cut is working out to around 1500cr according to headlines report, how silly it is may be someone wants to swallow this money regards to all IESM'S
ReplyDeleteI consider Mr Narendra Modi is good for nothing to common, poor and Indian Ex Serviceman in practical he is very good to Adani Group, Reliance Groups and its similar category . His word is only for poor but actual in practical he is totally against with welfare of Central Government employees, poor and common people
ReplyDeleteU r absolutely correct bunch of jokers r controlling the govt. And makig false promises
Deletesir please tell me that is orop is for family pensioners??
