Manohar Parrikar is expected to meet PM Narendra Modi to address points raised by service chiefs.
NEW DELHI:
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today assured the armed forces that the anomalies in the 7th Pay Commission will be taken up at the highest level. Mr Parrikar is expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address the points raised by service chiefs, sources said.
After meeting the Defence Minister this morning, Air Chief Arup Raha said the Defence Minister is aware of all issues and "has assured to resolve them at the earliest". The services, he said, are "satisfied" with the response.
On September 9, the Army, Navy and the Air Force had issued a signal to all formations, saying implementation of the 7th pay commission was being kept in abeyance till the anomalies are addressed.
Mr Parrikar had asked the three services to implement the hiked salaries as the government examined and addressed the concerns flagged by the forces.
Top Defence Ministry sources told NDTV that the minister would impress on the government to address the key anomalies at the earliest.
These include a common pay matrix at the entry level for both civilian and military services, removing anomalies in disability allowance between civil and military.
According to the 7th pay commission, the civilian bureaucracy and the para-military gets more disability allowance.

It will be better for Mr Parrikar to pull up his socks and tighten his belt. He got his last chance to prove his stand as the DM. Failing which, he will lose the trust of the troops once for all.
ReplyDeleteHow can we believe the people who use their ignorance as a convenient tool that suggest fooling around. Can the RM spell it all once what he is seized about?
ReplyDelete"LATEST MASTER JUMLA" ....."The honorable RAKSHA MANTRI is seized of the issues and would take up at the highest level to resolve earliest.SERVICES ARE SATISFIED." Three Cheers!Services Proud of U!What a Hat Trick!Fantastic Idea!Well Done!Keep it up!Great Future!Wah Bye Wah!U would certainly go ahead of V K SINGH!
ReplyDeleteWith all the wisdom of this world the old saying holds good..... Seeing is believing...
ReplyDeleteWill need to see this happening to have some faith in the system....
Where is the time for our Hon. PM to listen the problems and hardships faced by the soldiers. He has forgotten what he has said during his election speech.Dear PM now please listen at least once and give your last word on the subject.
ReplyDeleteThough our worthy RM has assured, it is doubtful that any one will listen him. In past also many things were assured by him but no one (PM or FM) listened him. So be sure nothing is going to happen.

ReplyDeleteDECESIVE JUMLAS HAS NO PLACE.
Time is ripe for Def Min &PM to show
Confidence measures so JAWANs
should have faith. This DECESIVE
Poltics have no place and has become
the days of past.
Do you believe these politicians, I dont. Never accept their promises unless given in writing. Let the 7 CPC do not have the same fate as 5&6 CPCs. History repeats because man repeats his mistakes.
ReplyDeleteNothing -- repeat absolutely nothing has changed on ground which could be factored in to give any more credibility and trustworthiness to Mr. Parrikar since Feb / Mar 2015. He neither understands nor takes trouble to understand the issues of soldiers and veterans and it is not too wrong to say that he has no say in the cabinet and talks big only in the absence of Mr Arun Jaitley whom he dare not see him in the eyes - forget arguing and reasoning with him. Expect nothing from RM and just hope FM with a nudge from the PM agrees to settle some of the issues. Forget what RM has done to OROP and 7 CPC , he has not been able to implement Supreme Court mandated minimum pension issue of doing away with 33 years service. Honestly, wish we have another RM.
ReplyDeleteYour assessment is correct.Obviously Parrikar neither has any say at PM/FM/cabinet level on these matters nor does he has any control over MOD staff on related issues, where his orders/instrs are casually ignored.Due to this lack of standing he is unable to take substantive decisions &
Deletetherefore keeps making false promises & seeking discussion to keep the issues pending but alive.He is not apt at dealing with these Goons around him.Any self respecting person in his situation would call it a day & quit to get out of this chakraview.
ONE MAN COMMISSION ON OROP IS ONLY TO TURCULATION OF TIME. ONE MAN COMMISSION HAS NO MORE POWERS THEN GOVT. IT NOT IS UNDER STOOD THAT FINANCE MINISTER IS KNOWEN THE DEFINATION OF OROP. HE SHOULD READ OUR KUSHIARY COMMITTEE ON ONE RANK ONE PENSION. OUR DEF MINISTER SHOULD BE STRONG IN THE WELFAIRE OF THE TROOPS. I HOPE THAT GOVT DO BETTER.
