Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today charged Prime MinisterNarendra Modi with being oblivious of the demands of ex-servicemen protesting the non-implementation of ‘One Rank One Pension’ (OROP) saying the Centre had money for poll-bound Bihar instead.
Senior party leader Kumar Vishwas visited Jantar Mantar in the afternoon to extend his solidarity with the protesters on a day a third veteran joined the fast-unto-death demanding early implementation of OROP.
“He can give money to Bihar keeping polls in mind or go as far as Mongolia to grant money but not veterans. Do not insult them. If this goes on mothers will stop sending their children to the borders,” Vishwas told reporters.
He said the sight of the veterans taking to the roads for what was “their due” was “painful” and urged Modi to take immediate steps in this regard.
“It was painful to see them sitting. They are the ones who have braved all odds at the borders and the war front. They are asking for their right. I want to urge our wise Prime Minister to take steps and not compel these brave hearts to sit on the road demanding what is their due,” he said.
In an attempt at political point-scoring he said the AAP government in Delhi has ensured highest compensation to the families of brave hearts who have laid down their lives for the country after coming to power.
Earlier, AAP MLA Col (retd) Devinder Sehrawat had skipped the President’s at-Home reception on Independence Day over the ‘One Rank, One Pension’ (OROP) demand.
He wrote to President Pranab Mukherjee seeking his intervention on behalf of the protesting ex-servicemen.

thanks for the great information in the post
ReplyDeleteWhen members of our own family is crying for food "the wise man "for cheap popularity offering aaluu porotta to neighbours. What a pitty.
ReplyDeleteNothing to worry bcoz it's only promise. Like the prominent leaders comment" election vaadaa poora karnekeliye nahim hota hai ".just like the promise of OROP during the last parliament election and promise of 50000cr to Bihar in last election. This is simply an another promise.
ReplyDeleteA promise is a swear, if politician does not know what does promise mean, he/she is not at all a man or woman, how can he/she be treated or termed other than third gender. Mr Modi belongs to such category only, even former defence secretary who said OROP for armed forces will be on his dead body. No matter we will pick it up at any cost let him die are survive.
ReplyDeleteFantastic information in the article

ReplyDeleteHey! A Fauji is called insane and so is for a true saint. Reason!!! Both of them forget about their kith and kin, one at war front and other praying Almighty. If both of them think of aged parent, young wife with a minor child a small roof with no electricity or water a few bighas of uncultivated land, not sure of his next leave to see them, continues his dedicated service in all weather conditions with irregular water and meals supply. So is with a saint. Bharat Mata ki Jai.
