OROP: veterans call off fast
Three veterans, Mrs Sudesh Goyat, Hav Major Singh and Hav Mohinder Singh with the Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM) -- have been on fast unto deathsince January 15. On Sunday, Mrs. Goyat was admitted to Army's Research & Referral (RR) hospital after her health deteriorated.
Veterans said that as her condition worsened, doctors advised that she must have oral diet. In view of that, the veterans collectively appealed to her to end the fast which she accepted on Wednesday afternoon.
Maj Gen Satbir Singh, Chairman of IESM said that they would continue their agitation till the government implemented ‘full’ OROP. He said that Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had refused their requests for a meeting which he said was “total insensitivity and apathy on the part of the Government.”
A group of veterans had
rejected the version implemented by the government stating that it
deviated from the accepted definition of OROP which means equalisation
of pension every year as against the approved five years.
Defence
sources said that Mr. Parrikar was busy in the election campaign in Goa
as well as the events related to the Republic Day.NEW DELHI: January 25, 2017 19:16 IST

FASTING VEER NARI Mrs. SUDESH GOYAT HOSPITALISED
The Condition
of Mrs Sudesh Goyat has deteriorated and veterans have taken her to
ARMY RR Hospital and admitted in emergency. Doctors are now taking care
of her.
She was requested by so many veterans to break the fast but she clearly said, "either PM Narender Modi ji would break my fast or God would call me"
In brief about Veer Nari Mrs Sudesh Goyat wife of Major Goyat
This
fearless and selfless lady is a true example of bravery. She or her
husband would not be benefited by OROP as her husband has taken
premature retirement from Army Medical Corps.She was requested by so many veterans to break the fast but she clearly said, "either PM Narender Modi ji would break my fast or God would call me"
The OROP, in "Letter and Spirit" is yet to be delivered.

WILL OTHER STATES FOLLOW THIS GESTURE SHOWN BY STATE GOVERNMENT OF TELANGANA
Wednesday, January 18, 2017
Dear all,
The slew of
welfare measures announced by Hon'ble CM of Telangana State in the
assembly, are the initiative of Hony.President, Telangana State Maazi
Sainikula Samaakhya, Capt V LaxmikanthaRao, (Retd) & Hon'ble
M.P.(RS). The speech is in Telugu language.
Already
GOs issued on Property Tax exemption, Enhancement of SPOs salary from
10,000/- to 20,000/- and War Widows pension from 3000 to 6000.
GOs on other items of welfare measures may be issued in the near future.
Over all, as on date, the financial benefits to ESM are the best in the country,i.e. more than Punjab/HARYANA stateS.
IT IS HOPED
THAT HIS COUNTERPART IN AP, SHRI N CHANDRABABU NAIDU, HON'BLE CM OF AP
STATE, MAY SOON FOOLOW SUIT AND ANNOUNCE SIMILAR BENEFITS TO ESM, IF NOT
MORE THAN THE TELANGANA STATE.
THEREFORE, RELAX BROTHERS, GOOD/HAPPY TIMES HAVE JUST BEGAN.

DUAL PENSION BENEFITS, SPECIAL FUND FOR WELFARE OF SERVICEMEN : KCR's BIG BANG SOPS FOR SOLDIERS
Ex-servicemen
who have now joined the state government have got reason to rejoice, as
the state government has announced a dual pension benefit for them. The
Telangana government on Tuesday announced a slew of benefits in the
Legislative Assembly for active and retired soldiers, their families and
also for the families of soldiers who lost their lives in the line of
duty .When
an ex-serviceman joins the state government services, he is allowed to
draw two pensions -one from the armed forces and the other from the
state government. However, widows of such ex-servicemen were barred from
collecting state pension. “The Telangana government is doing away with
this restriction. Henceforth, such pensioners will be allowed to draw
state government pension along with pension issued by armed forces,“ KCR
said.
“The government is also constituting a special fund for the welfare of soldiers, a first in the country ,“ said KCR. The fund will begin with annual contributions of `25,000 each from the CM and his cabinet colleagues while MLAs, MLCs and MPs will contribute `10,000 each every year. Thanking eve ryone for joining hands to contribute to the fund, KCR said, “The state government employees have also come forward to gi ve one day's salary to this fund.“
He also announced that the government is increasing the cash awards for soldiers.

AN ARTICLE BY VETERAN CHANDER PARKASH
The OROP, in "Letter and Spirit" is yet to be delivered, though a substantial increase has been given this time by our PM, who is yet to travel the proverbial last mile.
Where is ONE MAN JUDICIAL COMMITTEE report ?
Personally
I endorse movement headed by Maj Gen Satbir Singh . We should be
thankful to him for all that what he has done and doing. It is sadly
unfortunate that our Three Stars have become so selfish. Respected Three
Stars I request you that you Honorable Generals/ Admirals/Marshals stop drawing OROP . Had
the seniors been doing their job while in service to protect our
rights, we would have been better placed today. They have now no right
to advise. Many of them have not gone to Jantar Mantar even once .
Whatever we have got in our banks so for is kind courtesy this movement spearheaded by Gen Satbir Singh.
All
of us who are not contributing to OROP movement should be ashamed and
thank all those struggling, primarily at JANTAR MANTAR. Ungrateful
people who criticise their efforts and sacrifices, should be
disgracefully shamed if not ashamed.
Anybody
who talks against the peaceful protest by the veterans is an "enemy of
the veterans" and worse than a "traitor".if any veterans does not
contribute towards the welfare of the war widows and veteran
fraternity, he should not enjoy OROP/NFU himself.
The
government (politico - bureaucrat) as usual has managed to break the
fragile unity of the Fauji . This is why the izzat of the Fauj has
reduced to the constabulary. Might as well become a mercenary force if
you all think Jantar Mantar is all about money. OROP was/is only a point to goad you to introspection.
The
little you have received is because of disunity and covert sell out by
many who see closing the gap in finances across the rank and file as an
affront to their superiority.
My request to veterans who are criticising the JM, still if you think you can do better please come forward to lead.
