On We The People, we discuss the irony of this year's Kargil
Vijay Diwas. While we honour our war heroes today, they have spent this day
protesting. Their long-standing demand of One Rank One Pension is yet to be
implemented. Over 80 per cent appeals filed by Defence Ministry in the Supreme
Court are against our own disabled soldiers. Even as we honour our soldiers
today, we ask: Have they been defeated by the system? Why does our government
make them run from pillar to post for a disability pension as low as Rs. 155?
Has One Rank One Pension for defence personnel become a forgotten promise? When
will 'acche din' come for our soldiers?
