Dear Friends,
1. You
are aware that the OROP Anomalies have not been corrected by the Govt which has
adversely affected our Pensions of 7th CPC.
2. While
large majority of Defence Family is in favour of continuation of our
Protest Movement at JM, a few of us mostly internet users who for the reasons
best known to them want JM to be stopped. When we ask
these persons that we have not got Actual OROP then why they wanted us to move
out from JM, they have no answer except that we should take the legal
route. Some of them are satisfied and happy for what the Govt has
implemented.
3. Presence
of large number of ESM at JM on 14 May and 15 June 2017 and their overvaluing
resolve to continue with the Agitation till Actual OROP is implemented is a
factor which should not be ignored while arriving at the decision.
4. “Restoration
of Respect & Justice for Jawan” in our country is far away. Some
extremely derogatory, degrading and humiliating statements by members of the
Political Class against the Army in the recent past are cause of serious
concern. The Govt, it seems has not taken the required serious
action against the culprits. The last bastion of the Nation ie
Defence Forces are being degraded, humiliated and
disrespected. There is shortage of over 11000 officers and the
suitable youth is not being attracted to the Profession of Arms.
5. While
the Rank and File participate in large number, the officers in the required
numbers are not coming to JM. Leaders whether serving or retired
have to be leading from the front. There is urgent and strong need
for officers to visit JM on daily basis to fight for the cause of soldiers.
6. I
appeal to the officers, specially seniors to showcase their solidarity by
visiting JM as often as possible. They should suggest alternate
options to get Actual OROP implemented and lead the execution of their Plan.
“United we stand
Divided we Fall”
With regards,
Yours Sincerely,
