Published:Oct 4, 2015, 20:36 By ENS - Parrikar hits out at Nawaz Sharif, says India doesn’t need advice about troops in Siachen. "We need not listen to others on what we should do in our country. If anyone speaks anything about our country then I will prefer to ignore it," Parrikar said.
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Sunday said it was upto India to decide whether it should withdraw or keep forces deployed in Siachen, and does not need advise from Nawaz Sharif.
Parrikar was in Vadtal, Kheda district of Gujarat, to attend the closing ceremony of a Mahasammelan of retired servicemen under the ‘Akhil Bhartiya Purva Sainik Seva Parishad’ (All India Former Defence Personnels Association).
Speaking at the sidelines of the event, Parrikar said, “whether we should withdraw troops from Siachen or keep them deployed is our decision. We do not need any lessons from Nawaz Sharif and I choose to ignore it.”
Parrikar said that Make in India was a key program for the defence sector as it was seen as a generator of employment for almost 30 lakh youth, however, advised patience in the implementation of the policy.
Speaking of the overseas deployment of INS Trikand in Istanbul, Parrikar said that Turkey was “our friend” and the exercise would help strengthen friendship.
“Turkey is our friend and INS Trikand has reached Istanbul as part of a joint exercise,” Parrikar said about the stealth frigate of Indian Navy that is currently on a deployment in West Asia, Africa and Europe.
Earlier, Parrikar visited the Swaminarayan temple on arriving in Vadtal, Kheda from Vadodara and proceeded to the stage where he also delivered a 30-minute speech to the gathering of over 2000 former servicemen, reminiscing his younger days in Goa. Parrikar said, as a child, he would often accompany Armymen posted in the state, to show them directions in Goa.
Parrikar addressed the issue of OROP and said
the government was committed to its proposal
for implementing OROP and said, “The Ex-
servicemen will receive good news about OROP
by Navratri.”
Steering clear of controvesy, however, Parrikar declined to comment on the ongoing reservation stir in Gujarat by various communities, saying that the state government was well equipped to handle the situation.

DM Shri Manohar Parrikar had told the same words months eariier and when heard after months it was not a good news. This time let us see whether it is good. It will be good news for the veteran fraternity if it will be as per approved definition in perpetuity.
ReplyDeleteDear DM

Dear RM you are very good at spelling out schedule for implementation of OROP, remember on 5 Step' 2015 you said in 2-3 days official notification would be released, that promise is not kept till date and now you are coming with Navaratri !!! Prior to that there are confusions to be sorted out, what about them? Are you determined to dish out diluted OROP? Other than the one that was approved in Parliament twice?
ReplyDeletePlease do not believe the announcements made by Shri Manohar Parrikar.He has made so many announcements earlier, which have not materialised.
ReplyDeleteI don't faith on this type speech, & veterans has already taken good news both the time, I think our DM has under the pressure of Govt & Babus.

ReplyDeleteMr Parikar is understanding and incluing esm as Nine Devi, therefore he will issue the notification in Nav Ratri instead of Nav days. Thank you
ReplyDeleteIt is not a good news but very very good news for all veterans.
ReplyDeleteJai mata di.
In what way is Navaratri linked with the implementation of undiluted OROP to ex servicemen? Personal at front are not that fortunate to celeberate festivals and holidays like you all do. It is better you be practical and stop giving dates please. THE VETRANS are no more tolerant for such gimicks.
ReplyDeleteWesley
This type of good news delivered by the DM Mr. Manohar Parikar so many times earlier. we wants the OROP which was approved by the government without diluting the definition. what is the problem to relesed the order in black and white. we are only asking our dues which was given to the latest rertired soldiers. we were served for the nation with out fearing our life. that could not understood by the politican and bureacrats. once who served in the defence only he/she will know the facts. defence persons welfare can not compare with other departments. vetrans wants OROP implement in approved definition without diluting. government/ politicans are playing the game for their vote benifit, don't forget you are foolishing the sincerity of the soldiers who are guarding the nation safely from the enemy. thats why the people of the nation are sleeping without fear.
ReplyDeleteI pray to Almighty that Mr.Parikker's saying should be true at least this time and not like earlier occasions without any bearings.
ReplyDeleteNavratri is linked to OROP in the same way as end March then 26th May then 15th Aug were linked and so ESM can continue to enjoy the way they enjoyed on the previously declared dates.....Cheers!!
ReplyDeleteWhen will this man Manohar Parrikar stop talking and learn to keep quiet leaving others to some doubts on his standing in this government. Any one statement that he has stood by since meeting ESMs on 1st Feb.??????Chup rahna seekho sir, aapki baat ki FM aur PM ke aage kya value hai ESMs ko maaloom hai..........
ReplyDeleteAll I expect from the MOD is a formal issue of an executive order confirming the announcement made on 05 September. That is not OROP but ORFP (One Rank Five Pensions) because of the declaration of a 5 yearly review. Pensions will change every year but will not be applicable till the 5 year limit takes place. He is forced to fool the public by Modi and Jhootlie because of the elections and to ensure that the protestors at Jantar Mantar lose public sympathy. What a sham!
ReplyDeleteOnce rates/scales of pension being reduced in GOI,MOD letter than original draft letter of Feb 2014, how can be this GOOD NEWS? It can be be FOOLING NEWS to ESM.
ReplyDeleteWhy Navratras? Say the truth Before Bihar elections
ReplyDeleteअभी तो विजय दसमी बाकि हे दीवाली हे धनतेरस हे मकरसंक्रति हे 26 जनवरी होली हे इतनी भी क्या जल्दी हे इन नेता को
ReplyDeleteएक बात का तो पता लग गया देश में फौजी की हैसियत का इन की कोई इज्जत नही हे इन से ज्यादा तो कुतो की इज्जत हे देश में
ReplyDeleteBy now every ex-serviceman understood that Offrs(retd) will get meat and the Jawans will get bones, so donot delay unnecessarily.Close the issue soon
ReplyDeleteSir, Defence Minister said OROP implemented good news by Navratri. We are also waiting for ALL ESMs for your good news
ReplyDeleteWe the veterans look like farmers with desperation in drought. If the rain comes his needs will be fulfilled. This proverb lit a ray of hope that empowers him till the last breath of his suicide. Lt us hope this story should not reflect in our lives.
ReplyDeleteBahut beaten kam kuchubhi nahin karten gain ish kam ko anjam den bad a mehrbani hogi
ReplyDeletePlease forget OROP till 15 Nov 2015 if not implemented by 20 Nov 2015 then OK other wise forget for ever as OROP will not come at any cost as these Bureaucrat Dogs and Bitches including Politicians are be fooling entire Ex Servicemen and their families
