 It seems the Govt want to drag the OROP till the implementation of 7th CPC.
A strong movement by the combined strength of Ex-servicemen only can change scenario.

NEW AVTAR TO SWALLOW OROP

This is what Shri Manohar Parikkar, hon’ble Defence Minister in his interview to The Economic Times says about OROP. This one-rank-one pension thing is again complicated; it can't be treated as a dynamic thing where every time someone's pension comes up, everyone else's gets revised.
His statement leaves me in no doubt that he has only heard what his bureaucrats have drilled into him. He would not have said this if he heard his Service Chiefs explaining what is their stand on OROP i.e. any increase in pensions to serving personnel to be passed on to past pensioners. It is to ensure that at any time pensions of past and present pensioners is same. Otherwise the disparity in pensions shall continue. If pensions are upgraded by any other manner it is not OROP.

EX-SERVICEMEN CHEATED & AGAIN ON WAR PATH

IESM plans to start relay hunger strike from 3^rd December 14 at Jantar Mantar (start of Indo Pak war in 1971).

CLARIFICATION FROM EDITOR THE HINDU ON OROP REPORTING

From: readerseditor <readerseditor@thehindu.co.in>

Subject: Re: false reporting on OROP

Here is an response from the writer:

"The Defence Ministry has in a high-level meeting with the Finance Ministry recently raised the bill for the implementation of the One Rank One Pension scheme. The Finance Ministry gives the money to the Defence Ministry for the implementation. The actual disbursement of the money comes under the Defence Ministry. The story doesn't say that the money has been disbursed to pensioners. It says that the bill for the payments has been raised with the Finance Ministry. 

Guess- The reader can be reassured now the money has been claimed by the Defence Ministry it will be disbursed too soon i hope."

OROP SANCTIONED BY BOTH UPA & NDA BUT IMPLEMENTED BY NONE

TALE OF AN UNBORN CHILD
Digvijaya Singh lock horns with Narendra Modi for taking credit of granting OROP which is said to have been granted by UPA but god & ESM only knows the truth who sanctioned , who got it. 
If sanctioned where the amount has gone. 
we searched every where except in Swiss bank

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Friday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks on 'one rank one pension' alleging that he was "appropriating credit" for the step taken by UPA.

"Now Modi takes credit for One Rank One Pension for Defence Personnel !Deserves full credit for appropriating Credit of what others have done.

"Decision of One Rank One Pension for Defence Personnel was taken 2 years back by UPA Govt, funds provided in the Budget and he takes Credit! (sic)," Singh said on Twitter.

Dear Mr.Digvijaya Singh you need not worry, you will be happy if you know the fact about Narendra Modi's claim of sanctioning One rank one pension (OROP). He has taken you & all Ex-servicemen to fools paradise.
