UFESM HAS DECIDE TO DEDICATE SUNDAY 28 JUN AS A COMMEMORATIVE DAY IN MEMORY OF ANOTHER GREAT VETERAN Fd Marshal SFHJ Manekshaw, MC, padma
vibhushan, ADC on his eighth death anniversary. Large number of
veterans are expected to come and pay homage to this great captain of
War who was treated shabbily by the establishment. We invoke his
blessings for this on going struggle.
COME ONE COME ALL. As a tribute to the great leader several "Generals" will sit on hunger strike alongwith others.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE
On
a personal intervention by GOC-in-C Hq Western Command the question of
boycotting government sponsored or organized functions has been reviewd
by UFESM. It has been decided that in defference to the Army Cdr's
request for attendance at the function on the '65 war being organized by
HQ Western Command, all veterans are advised to attend the same albiet
with black arm bands as a mark of protest for the delay in OROP . This
arrangement has the approval of the Army Cdr. Notwithstanding the above
this arrangement will be effective across the board for all service
related functions involving veterans till 15 July 2015, when the matter
will be reviewd again bu UFESM. The instructions regarding government
functions remain unchanged.,
