New Delhi: The notification on One Rank One Pension scheme will be issued "within days" of the Bihar poll process coming to an end as the model code of conduct is currently in place, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said today.
Asked if it would be a Diwali gift to the protesting veterans, he said, "I am trying to have it before Diwali (November 11)." The counting of votes in Bihar will take place on November 8 but the model code of conduct will remain in place till November 12. "It (notification) will be issued within days after the Bihar poll process ends," Parrikar told reporters here.
He said the government did not come out with the notification as the model code of conduct has been in place. The protesting ex-servicemen had yesterday in a letter signed in blood to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanded early implementation of OROP scheme.
On the 133rd day of their relay hunger strike at Jantar Mantar here, the veterans said that the announcement made by Parrikar on September 5 regarding the implementation of OROP had "seven serious shortcomings". If implemented without the removal of the shortcomings, it will kill the definition of OROP, the letter claimed.
The letter further accused Parrikar of "changing the goalpost" every now and then.
The protesting veterans asked the Prime Minister to issue notification to implement OROP scheme at the earliest. Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement spokesperson Col (retd) Anil Kaul said the letter was signed in blood by around 200 general officers and others.

Casting of votes will be completed on November 05, 2015. Why are they waiting for the counting to finish on Nov 11 and then again they need few more days. It appears the letter then made will be in line with outcome of the Bihar Election Results.
ReplyDeleteWe won't the believe the politicians until unless it comes in (orop) black and white . Bihar election results is just pull the days prop already announced i don't think there is a objection from election commission
ReplyDeleteDifferent ministers give different statements on OROP.Hon'ble PM said 'orop will be in place within 100 days of coming into power,On assuming the office , statements released to declare orop like within days,weeks,by the end of month etc.Our esteemed COAS, also quoted some deadlines of implementation. Finally the DM busted the balloon on 05/09/15 taking all veterans to ground zero again.Probably the present political masters don't have control over their office babu's or it was an election stunt to gain political advantage. We must continue our struggle. Inquilab Zindabad.ESM United struggle LONG LIVE.

ReplyDeleteशिखर सम्मेलन के अंतिम दिन पीएम मोदी ने अफ्रीका को 10 अरब डॉलर का कर्ज देने की घोषणा की। उन्होंने कहा कि अफ्रीकी देशों के साथ भारत की साझेदारी को मजबूती देने के लिए अगले पांच साल में अफ्रीका को 10 अरब डॉलर का रियायती कर्ज मुहैया कराया जाएगा, जो मौजूदा ऋण कार्यक्रम से अलग होगा।
