"I am 93-years-old and I can die any day but I assure you that it will not happen before I get you justice from Supreme Court," he said.
Senior Supreme Court lawyer Ram Jethmalani today
assured the ex-servicemen demanding “complete implementation” of ‘One
Rank One Pension’ that he will lead their legal battle in the apex
court.
“I am 93-years-old and I can die any day but I
assure you that it will not happen before I get you justice from
Supreme Court,” Mr. Jethmalani said while addressing armed forces
veterans staging protest at Jantar Mantar in the national capital.
Major
General (retd) Satbir Singh, leader of the protesting veterans, claimed
that a case would be filed by Mr. Jethmalani on the OROP demand in the
Supreme Court in the next 3-4 days and that Mr. Jethmalani would not
charge any fee.
Mr. Jethmalani, who has been fighting
a legal case over the issue of black money in SC since 2009, also
lashed out at the Narendra Modi government for “failing” to bring back
black money stashed away abroad.
“Modi promised to
bring back black money from foreign countries and I believed him but he
fooled me. But when German government offered to disclose the names of
such bank account holders, no one from India approached it,” he claimed.
Singh said four more cases have been filed in the armed forces tribunal.
“These
cases pertain to rulings for Jawans, war widows, arrears since 2006,
payments for honourary ranks, rounding off of disability pension, and
payments of reservists,” he said.
The veterans’ protest at Jantar Mantar entered its 320th day on Friday.
Defence
Minister Manohar Parrikar had in September last year announced
implementation of the long delayed OROP for ex-servicemen but the
veterans have been continuing with their protest demanding “complete”
implementation of the scheme.
We the veterans wish two things for him, may he win this honourable cause for us and let the God grace him with long and healthy life. Jai Hind!

ReplyDeleteVery very admirable speech. Very captivated one. Do really surprise this kind of lawyers scarcely but available in our beloved country to fight for justice on behalf in the money making country. A great pride upon the lawyer.Because he came supporting our cause.He definitely remain our assets. thanks to our kind veterans brought him in our forefront.
ReplyDeleteGroups in the Armed Forces like Gp X and Gp Y should be abolished after retirement because Ex Soldier is only known by ranks and not by gp. Gps should only be applicable for serving Soldier because they contribute during service for particular gp. Removal of gp after retirement will automatically solve the problem of disparity in pension among ex Soldiers. So finally, I humbly request to do it, in SC.
ReplyDeleteGroup system cannot be eliminated in any system.
DeleteA noble and kind hearted lawyer who backs the truth and justified cause of armed force veterans.We may win or lose it is immaterisl but we do have Lord Krishna with us in the form of Mr Ram Jethmalani to fight the war with the biased MOD.
