ACTUAL
OROP NOT YET IMPLEMENTED ONE MAN JUDICIAL COMMITTEE
NOT
YET MADE PUBLIC
Dear Raksha Mantri,
1. Please refer the following letters :-
(a) Letter dated 16 Nov 2015 regarding serious
anomalies in the Notification for the Implementation of One Rank One Pension
(OROP) issued on 07 Nov 2016.
(b) Letter to Justice L.Narasimha Reddy,
Retired Chief Justice of Patna High Court dated 25 Mar 2016 regarding “Urgent Need to
Rectify Anomalies in OROP in Govt Notification dated 07 Nov 2015 and Table
dated 03 Feb 2016.
(c) Letter
to Justice L.Narasimha Reddy, Retired Chief Justice of Patna High Court dated 25 Mar 2016 regarding “Change of Definition
of OROP in various correspondence of DESW Noticed.
(d)
Letter dated 25 Mar 2016 regarding One Rank One
Pension.
(e)
Letter dated 27 Nov 2016 regarding non implementation of Actual
OROP.
(f) Letter dated 23 Dec 2016 regarding non
implementation of Actual OROP Letter.
2. With
concern and anguish, we wish to bring to your Notice that the Actual OROP as
assured by the Hon’ble Prime Minister has not yet been implemented. The anomalies arising out of the 07th
Nov 2015 Govt Notification for the implementation of OROP has not been
rectified. The anomalies were pointed
out to your goodself vide our above quoted letters. This avoidable delay is causing serious
concern to the defence, widows and ex-Servicemen.
3. One
Man Judicial Committee report, it is learnt was submitted to Govt on 26 Oct
2016, however, neither the same has been made public nor its recommendations
implemented. Sir, we the defence family
have been on Protest Movement and Relay Hunger Strike (RHS) at Jantar Mantar
for the past 582 days, no one from the
Govt has enquired or addressed our concerns,
instead the Govt continues to inform the people of the country that it
has implemented OROP. You know Sir, the
same is not true, OROP as per the
definition approved by the Govt through its executive order dated 26 Feb 2014 is
far away from what has been implemented.
Not only the actual OROP has not been implemented as per the approved
definition, the wrongly implemented OROP has been carried forward to the 7th
CPC with Cascading adverse affect on pensions of defence fraternity.
4. The
statements from the Govt that OROP has been implemented and some negative
people were protesting is very hurting to the Ex-Servicemen and widows. Sir, if actual OROP is implemented after
removing the anomalies, we will immediately lift our Protest Movement from Jantar
Mantar. We are only there for our legitimate
democratic rights of protest which is being carried out in a soldierly manner,
with dignity and respect and within the constitutional norms. Sir, we are your erstwhile soldiers and not
civilian unions. We request you to
consider implementing Actual OROP, which has been pending the last 42
years.
5. We
are thankful to Govt that it has taken the step to announce implementation of
OROP, but what has been implemented is far from the Actual OROP. We are also concerned that the Govt has
unfairly amended the approved definition as per the Govt executive order dated
26 Feb 2014 and announced in the Parliament by MOS for Defence on 02 Dec 2014.
6. May
we request you for your personal indulgence to rectify the anomalies arising
out of the Govt Notification on 07 Nov 2015.
May we also request for a
meeting with you Sir, of a delegation of three members for half an hour at your
earliest please.
With regards,
Yours Sincerely,
Maj Gen Satbir Singh, SM (Retd) Advisor
United Front of Ex Servicemen Jantar Mantar & Chairman Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM) Mobile: 9312404269, 01244110570 Email:satbirsm@gmail.com
