Who is this Manjit singh Negi and how does he get information that no one else knows. Planting stories I guess
ReplyDelete1. Fast take off by the Air Chief: The three chiefs band together and dispatch their four points of objection to the 7th Pay Commission under the signature of the Chairman of the Chief of Staff committee Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha, the battle is joined once more.
ReplyDelete2. Quick jettison by the Air Chief: The Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee (CoSC) Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha issued a statement saying, “The Raksha Mantra (Parrikar) is seized of all the issues and has assured to resolve them at the earliest. The Services are satisfied with the response.”
What a quick change of mind to avoid a constitutional crisis.
With the acceptance of 7cpc salaries, awaiting the rectification of anomalies, the case is back to square one. If at all something happens, it will be beneficial to officers. In the case of JCOs, we will have to wait and see!
ReplyDeleteWhy these news are not coming in TV. Is there any instruction to the TV channels not to give any news about defense.

ReplyDeleteThe flip flop has made the position of chiefs untenable,particularly since the DM has been disgraceful and has even now, tried to show the chiefs in poor light by saying that he reminded the chiefs that by not implementing the 7th P c notification, they were challenging the GOI, which obviously suggests that the chiefs chickened out fearing consequences.If not, the chiefs owe it to their lot, to explain what transpired between them and what assurances the DM has given and in what time frame,there being hardly any trust in the MOD.We need to know whether they have capitulated for good of the nation,the armed forces or bcoz of some tempting, unrefusable post retirement rehabilitation offer.I seriously doubt, if the DM, is sensible enough to understand, where he has landed the chiefs or graceful enough to explain on his own.They all have 56 inch ka seena against the disciplined armed forces only, not babus-16 of them barged in the HMs office when action was taken against one of them.Was that in support of Govt action therefore no linkage to consequences.Anyway, may be poor DM is scared of similar action against his office by babus. But,why are the chiefs jittery,they have 16 million to stand up for them if push comes to shove.May God give to our leaders and courage to our chiefs.
ReplyDeleteThe nation has witnessed rampant destruction in Karnataka and some retaliatory vandalism in Tamil Nadu over sharing of Caveri water..
ReplyDeleteThere was a situation developing in the Capital unbeknownst to many which could have culminated in a sort of Armageddon if parties involved did not covertly agree for a tactical withdrawal. The situation was unprecedented in the history of civil/ military relationship.
I am referring to the letter by the Chiefs the three wings of armed forces forwarded by Chief of Staff Committee ( COSC ) Air Chief Marshal Aroop Raha to the Hon’ble RM on the “unresolved Anomaly” in the pay structure & other related matters concerning defence in the 7 CPC and the “SIGNAL” of 9th Sept. to lower commands to withhold implementation contained in the order of MOD dtd 6 the Sept. and, in reply, the strict instruction of RM to follow the order of 6th Sept.
It was a true Catch 22 situation. Neither parties could have come out unscathed had they not exercised extreme caution. Fortunately both saved faces for the “time being” ; and we have not seen the end yet.
It is the bounden duty of the Chiefs to protect the interest of the men under them and they have rightly chosen to do so. This act should have been viewed as part of the duty of the chiefs; but the Hon’ble RM had a different view and his response to the chief appeared to be bordering ( pardon the usage,) arrogance. Perhaps it was construed as INSUBORDINATION.
This is an oft misinterpreted term. Insubordination is defined as “ an act of disobeying a lawful command given by a superior officer”. What is lawful or unlawful is relative but pertains to operational matters only and not for administrative directives.
It is serious situation. If the action of chief is deemed to be insubordination, he has to be fired forthwith. On the other hand if the RM’s order is unlawful he loses the moral authority to continue in that position. The situation has transpired into a“ heads I win, tails you lose” scenario.
Fortunately, the RM has” fully understood the concerns” of the armed forces and will do” his best” to find a solution and chiefs are convinced that “everything will be alright” and assuaged the rank file; so all quiet on the western front now. Issues that end well need not begin well or vice versa.
Let us just see what the “unresolved anomaly” are:
NFU, DISABILITY ALLOWANCE, COMMON PAY MATRIX, MSP FOR JCOS.
Except for the last mentioned all other pertain to small % of personnel belonging to armed forces top brasses.
There are other important issues which need their immediate attention, unfortunately, no chief ever even acknowledge the existence of such anomaly.
Delinking of 33 years qualifying service for full pension has not been implemented for defence retirees even after it is effected 5 months ago for CG pensioners and civilians in armed forces. By what terminology one can describe this callous conundrum.
DL 33 is the very base for re-fixation of pension wef 1-1-2006.If this is not done the entire follow up like OROP fixation and 7 CPC implementation will be in jeopardy. And non implementation may end up in litigation as it is violation of Apex Court verdict which again will make everything prolonged indefinitely subjected to the decision of courts.
So it is imperative that DL 33 issue be resolved first before implementing 7 CPC recommendation.
The above issue, which is very vital and affects most defence pensioners was not brought to the notice of the RM. DL 33 does not affect the officers because their pension is already based on this principle hence may have escaped attention by chiefs.
What the chiefs can do the least is to request RM to issue instruction to DESW to generate OM in this regard before implementing 7 CPC recommendations.
