Dear sir,
ReplyDeleteGod has created men whereas men has created so many demi and mythical god. our honorable DM has created so many manifestations and dimensions with regard to OROP, in which shape finally it will appear on which time and venue. it becomes personal or impersonal no body can predicate. this is the pathetic and desperate condition of poor ex service men
OROP is on the death bad needs for treatment in icu.
ReplyDeleteVery soon very soon very soon very soon very soon when the very soon comes nobody O R O P.
ReplyDeleteI think that there is somthing wrong regarding implementation of OROP.
ReplyDeleteThe distrust is resultant of continued neglect of Indian soldier by the successive govts and thus systemic failure in redressal of defense needs. Defence is not an isolated word nor the people who are part of it. We as members of defense community must take pride in keeping our integrity but some day the nation had to decide. Present govt is, in my opinion, on correct path, let's allow them some time for systemic correction.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Parrikar what happened ? I came to know that you are a man of word and Clean. But, you are not keeping your word now-a-days.towards veteran's OROP. Do it immediately.
ReplyDeleteWow very soon
ReplyDeleteThe Chief of Army Staff had defaulted in fulfilling his assurances to the Veteran community.He assured the Veterans that OROP will be implemented by end of April 2015,and a true soldier will never betray his subordinates.The moment when the Service Chief could not live up to the expectations of his subordinates /fellow being,he should Resign from the present post,as he has no moral right to continue as Service Chief.
ReplyDeleteNot something, all is wrong because PBOR are involved in orop. All Offrs has already been grated the benefit of orop by back door. PBOR ka koi khasam nahin hai.
ReplyDeletePls don't be demoralise....achhe din aayenge.
DeletePlease Forget OROP, as per my view OROP is not going to implement in our Generation as Bureaucrat Lobbies are played like that so I feel ashamed on my self as In India it is happening if it is happened any another Country the Bureaucrat firstly goes to jail because of non welfare mentality to their Defence Forces. I hate Indian Bureaucrats forever. I also wish to say that in future I will not visit any polling booth either for voting to Assembly Election or to Main Election. Our Foreign Prime Minister is always out from India and could not see the real problems of Ex Serviceman and their families . I also predict that if OROP is planned to implement by the Government then it may be happened long back but they do not want to implement,. Wait for 2019. I assure that next Election NDA Government will ruined like anything . We have to wait for another 1460 days. I am counting that de-day Very very bad, very very shameful. At present Kissan and Jawans has no values at all. During Earth Quake, Flooding, Terrorist Attack, War then only remembered for Jawans thereafter forget and Officers, Bureaucrats is taking advantages. Jawans work like anything but fruits to Officers and Bureaucrats,
ReplyDeleteLets see!!
ReplyDeleteChief of army staff said by end of April, OROP will be implemented. All farce. DM says that it will be implemented in this budget secession. Budget secession is coming to an end but there is now further update on this. Neither from Defense minister nor Chief of defense. Prime minister will go to china on 14th of this month. So I am sure OROP will not be implemented in this month also.
ReplyDeleteorop has been declared many time by all thieves but not implemented yet because of some confusion to bureaucrats not to grant any benefit to esm upto 2019
