Respected Sir,
At
the outset, we, the veteran NCOs & JCOs and Widows, from all the
three wings of the defence forces, who have come together under the
banner of 'Armed Forces Veterans Association of India (AFVAI)'
extend you a very warm DIWALI greetings! We wish all the staff members
of Ministry Of Defence too, a very happy and prosperous DIWALI.
Sir,
we would also like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to you
for the notification of OROP, on 7th November 2015, by which you made
our DIWALI, colourful. All our family members too join with us in
thanking you.The
OROP struggle began four decades ago. While we would not like to
particularly blame anyone for the undue delay, we would be failing in
our duty if we donot thankfully acknowledge your unflinching commitment
to the cause of OROP, due to which the 7th November notification became
possible. Inspite of all the constraints that come in the process of
collective responsibility, you have ensured that this long pending
benefit is extended to us without further delay. Sir, we all stand up
together and salute you for the same!
Sir,
we are also quite aware of the present stand of our government that no
further concessions are possible under OROP. Yet we bring to your kind
attention that the NCOs and JCOs, who constitute 95% of the total
strength of military veterans have some basic and fundamental
differences with the very narrative of OROP. This does not address at
all the core issue of early retirement and truncated service for which
the OROP was originally demanded. Since we were not organised the way we
are now, we could not bring these issues to the notice of the
authorities in government earlier.
Sir,
we would therefore request you kindly give us an opportunity suitable
to your convenience, to felicitate you on behalf of AFVAI and explain
our genuine concerns in person to you.
Thanking you.
Kind Regards.Nb. Sub. G.S.SIDHU (Rtd.)
