Mr. Modi said he government was looking for a definition on which all “stakeholders agree”.There has been an increase in displeasure among ex-servicemen on the delay in OROP's implementation, an election promise of the government.
Responding to growing criticism on the delay in the implementation of the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated his commitment to it. He said the government was in “constant discussions” with the armed forces and was trying to arrive at a “please-all decision”.
“We are committed to OROP, but we are in consultation with defence personnel regarding the definition of OROP. Our government is here for five years, and we cannot do anything without consulting the people concerned. The dialogue is being actively pursued. There is no need to have any doubt on this,” Mr. Modi said in an interview toThe Tribune which was published on Saturday.
On the delay in the decision, Mr. Modi said that there were too many definitions going around yet, and the government was looking for a definition on which all “stakeholders agree”.
Stating that OROP was not a political programme for him, Mr. Modi said past governments had done nothing on the issue. Responding to questions from the Congress, he said, “Those who were part of then governments must realise they don't have the right to speak on this issue. They should be told this to their face."
There is increasing displeasure among ex-servicemen on the delay in implementation of OROP, an election promise of the government. OROP seeks to bring parity among personnel retiring with the same rank and same duration irrespective of when they retire.

dear sir,
ReplyDeleteI do agree with that a lot of problems is there, it is very hard to crystallize all type of veterans to bring under one umbrella, with advent of super computer, the task is not difficult, you seek our help without remuneration we are ready to work, a little or slight difference will be there we should bear with you, because growing anxiety among ex service men it is not a good omen may take some undesireable activity which may pose great peril to our country. every country is watching and monitoring the revolt, please announce the date of implementation without further delay. further delay is not appreciable
My dears please forget theOROP for more 4years because PM says we are here for five years,and our DM .FM.changing there statement s day by day.so dears forget the OROP all political partyies are same no one cares of armed forces ,everybody remember soldiers on only 15th aug or26th jan or any natural collamities,then only all are says JayJawan,,,,,including all media ......This is our India..........
ReplyDeleteThe PM now says that they had not reached on a correct definition of OROP so far.The DM says that all modalities completed from his ministry. Only two three points have to be clarified. Who is telling the true?

ReplyDeleteDon't worry friends, one rank and one pension will certainly be implemented within next four years since this govt has already given commitment. If it's not implemented within these four years, then they would certainly implement it in the next session i.e. starting from 2019. Howver, although number of exservicemen continue to increase by 60000 every year, death toll of exservicemen will also increase due to their age and chronic diseases which is a bonanza in calculation. Above all, please show your patience and enjoy dreaming orop implementation till you die because this Govt. has already made commitment of implementation and only a few hasteles remain to be solved. Although Army HQs had given DGL one year before, but this Govt. need to satisfy each and every one so that their calculation has really become harder to hardest and exservicemen friends have to wait without any target date. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThe power managers have successfully created delusions, deception and disdain and now even questions definition of OROP . As the military brass quietly gulp down whatever the ruling power throws out as crumbs the emboldened ones display their total disdain for the military repeatedly. Delhi has just happened and bure dins are just few years away just like the last BJP one. What a pity that another opportunity has been frittered away on anti jawan and anti kisan platform
