LETTER SENT TO DM BY AFVA DELHI

Hon Raksha Mantri Ji,

I am writing you after seeing the impasse over 7 CPC between services and our infamous bureaucracy, though we still have bureaucrats like Ms. Damyanthi contrary to public perception.

I was quite confused whether to stand with your direction to Chiefs for implementing 7 CPC or to stand with my White Uniform, which don up in my golden age (19yrs to 34 yrs), for saying no to 7 CPC due to following reasons:

1. Your directions to chiefs was against the interest of services as degradation of services has reached at breaking point now. So I can not stand with it.

2.  The anomalies raised by Service Chiefs contained no element for  Jawans, especially ORs as it seems that ORs are the richest cyclist who still goes to office using a second hand bicycle. If you want to see it, just have a morning walk in & around of Gopinath area in Delhi Cantt. To especially mention here that I too had a second bicycle for going to Naval Dockyard from Navy Nagar in Mumbai.I could not afford a Bajaj Chetak even.

So we collectively decided to denounce both directives. I would request you to ask question from Service Chief - as if there are no anomalies in JCO / ORs status and perks ? And if they say no, then you straight shoot next question- Did you ask ?

When draft of recommendation for pay commission was being prepared in SHQ, we have submitted the anomalies of JCO / ORs but they did not lend their ears on any of them. No JCO / ORs are spoken with and their representation is zero in all communication related to them.

Below is opinion of JCO / ORs for your consideration for current impasse:

a) There should be no MSP for ranks above Lt-Colonel and its equivalent in navy and air force. This is so because ranks from Sepoy to Lt-Colonel are actual person who faces military hardship on ground.

b) MNS does not qualify for earning MSP as they neither have truncated carrier nor they face any threat or military hardship

c) MSP should be equal for all as hardship is equal for all as the principle say "equal pay for equal work"

d) NFU, if accepted, should be made applicable to all rank and files of the defence forces otherwise no to all. If given only to selected class, it will further strain the relationship between officers and Jawans.

DL-33

Sir, your intervention is required urgently on this Delinking of 33 yrs order because it has been six month and not yet finalized. Even OROP chart preparation did not take this much time. As DoPPW has clarified that PBORs should be paid on notional maximum, kindly issue the direction accordingly so there is no play inserted in the circular. As festive season and marriage season is coming up, people are waiting for the circular. Many has their daughter's marriage or son marriage in coming month. So We all urge to you to issue necessary direction in this regard on top priority. It will be of much beneficial to JCO / ORs

Regards

REPRESENTATION TO RM BY NATIONAL FEDERATION

Ref/.NFOESM/7thCPC/110/2016                                                                  16/09/2016

Shri. Manohar Parikkar,

Hon. Defence minister

Dear Sir,

Representation to DM regarding the 7th CPC anomalies of officers only as projected by  COSC with out taking up the anomalies in respect of  large section of JAWAN'S

It is brought to your kind attention that the chiefs have brought to your notice, the anomalies concerning offers only. They have also recommended a slight increase in the MSP of JCO’S also to cover up their selfish demands leaving behind the anomalies in respect of large force Jawans. This is likely to create a rift & discontentment within the armed forces of the country. We hope that you are aware that an officer is a soldier who has taken pledge at the time of commissioning that he will look after the interest of all those who are placed below him above his own interest.

The above mentioned demands of the chiefs are contrary to this principle & also against natural justice.

Hence we request your honor to consider enhancement of  MSP of Jawans & JCO’s equal to that of officers. This will boost the morale & prestige of solders since one element of their pay is equal to that of their higher ups.

We hope that you will take all necessary steps to maintain peace & harmony with in the defence forces.

Thanking you.

MBC MENON
