LOSS in pre 2006 arrears for Jawaans and Veer Naaris

Dear Veterans and Veer Naari's,

                                                   All of you may be aware and also be expecting arrears due to Supreme Court orders. Banks started posting arrears. In Kerala some of the MRC veterans have received arrears along with pension.Their pension acct is with SBI. To our utter dismay it is exactly as per Cir 547. Further reliable sources informed all banks will credit arrears for JCOs,NCOs&ORs before 15 Oct 2015. Enough reasons and expected arrears were extensively discussed over the FB and mails . Here is a sample calculation for the loss occurring to the sepoy rank.

Similarly heavy loss is incurred by JCOs,NCOs&ORs and their equivalent ranks also suffer. This is Due to misinterpretation of the SC order.

          As we have mentioned earlier, ESSAA will file a suite in supreme court. For this a team of Experts from Banking background has been formed. All JCOs,NCOS&ORS and equivalents from NAVY and Air Force may join us by registering with us. Veer Naaries are also requested to join and get benifitted. A Sum of Rs 550/= from veterans and Rs300/= from Veer naaries is fixed as initial contribution for the cause. Higher amount is welcomed .Contributions can be made in the form of cheques ,DD or NEFT .

Your cheques drawn in favor of ESSAAA payable at Dharmapuri may please  be forwarded at the following address:-

VETERANS HOPES SHATTERED

  VETERANS HOPES SHATTERED

by

Col CJS Khera(Retd)

     Today on the 69^th Independence day,the Veterans of the Nation had high hopes  that the Hon’ble PM Mr Narinder Modi will  announce “OROP” but termed it as a  black day for the 25 lakh veterans and 6 lakh widows of the Nation. The veterans had been on Relay Hunger strike at Jantar Mantar since 15 Jun 2015 and equally at Polytechnic Chowk  Ambala. The black day started with black eve of Independence Day at Jantar Mantar on 14 Aug 2015,when the govt manhandled the ESM siting on RHS on pretext of  security risk.

           It was beyond imagination of any Indian citizen to see the aged and beloved veterans, sitting on peaceful dharna in a disciplined manner demanding  OROP ,  being pushed around at Jantar Mantar by the Delhi police  is not something any one of us would have ever wished for.  The police had orders that they the veterans posed a threat to the security before Independence day celebrations!  Security threat posed by whom,the very men in whom you repose complete faith to guard your national borders while you sleep safely in the comfort of your homes and family?    Security threat  posed by the very men whom you call out to rescue your public in floods , earthquakes, communal riots and all natural calamities and national disasters!  Its really sad that we belong to a nation with  such an ungrateful lot of politicians and bureaucrats. Has it been worth it or  has it really been worth it ? All the sacrifices and the pain and the anguish of our men ,seeing their children grow up in their absence, not being present at the death bed of a beloved parent, or at the side of  their wife when she delivered the first  baby while they served at the border or fought some god forsaken war or were fighting insurgency in the far east or terrorism in the west?   Have our veterans given their life and limb for nothing? It pained every citizen see the pride of a very old A 90 plus veteran from Grenadiers being manhandled ,his medals ripped off and shirt torn! Others are dragged by uniformed police and heckled.

 The veteran who earned  his military medals ,no doubt with blood and sacrifice , being torn off his frail chest where he had pinned them on his  shirt with pride , was  pushed and shoved by the police.  What a sad day ! we  have seen  many a widow just receive only a medal at the Republic Day Celebration from the President in lieu of the life of her husband who would never  ever come back, given  by a so called grateful nation.  Where has that grateful nation gone? Where has that public gone ? Where has the national consciousness gone? Where has the  patriotic fervour gone ? Today we feel greatly hurt and wronged when many serving soldiers who saw their  father an old veteran, being manhandled at Jantar Mantar.  What a shame that the politicians  and bureaucrats are playing such a shabby game by keeply their repeated promises unfulfilled. A weight of even a single medals earned by a veterans cannot be taken by chest of 56 inches

                     OROP ,is not the question of money alone, but the pride that the soldier holds above all consideration in life has been hurt badly. The veterans who fought wars and are far senior gets far less pension to their Juniors. This disproportional equation hurts his pride and needs to be restored. A soldier served the country of incorrigible.  The veterans have been demanding OROP status since last 30 years but no  govt ever kept the  poll promises to ESM community and  remained unfulfilled till date.  Mr Narinder Modi  two days after he was appointed  BJP's PM-candidate in September 2013, vehemently supported the OROP demand at a veterans' rally in Rewari in the presence of roughly 12 lakh veterans, constituting a huge vote-bank, UPA government approved the demand in February 2014, and it was reaffirmed by NDA in July, when finance minister Arun Jaitley specifically provisioned Rs 1,000 crore in his 2014-15 budget (within an overall defence pensions budget of Rs 51,000 crore). Yet, it remains stuck in bureaucratic wrangling

        Today Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of Independence day did not commit a specific timeline for implementation of ‘one rank, one pension’ but said that 

“ESM ke  alag alag sangathano se batch cheet chal rahi hai” 

 drawing sharp reactions from ex-servicemen sitting on 62^nd day of relay hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, watched Modi’s speech on LCD screen but switched it off the moment his brief OROP mention was over and  vowed to step up their protest.  He further said  “in-principle OROP has been accepted by us but talks with stakeholders are on,” “A solution has to be found for an issue which has been lingering for 20-25 years. I expect good news seeing the way the talks are going on. And that is why I again promise that in-principle, this government has accepted OROP,” he said.

              However, All ex-servicemen of the nation reacted sharply and “rejected” Modi’s Independence Day speech. We are totally disappointed. We expected the Prime Minister to at least announced the date for implementation, but all we got again the false promise,which was done by the government when it came to power. Modi Govermant accepted principle of OROP 17 months ago and what  holding the implementation of OROP  is the question the veterans are posing.

        The veterans are demanding  pensions benchmarked at the 2014 rates and rejects the government offer of 2011 rates. They want the OROP without any dilution. Where are the ESM who became MP like  Gen VK Singh,  Col Rathore? Gen Khandoori , Col Sonaram, Ms Kiran Kher daughter of a veteran, who were supported whole heartedly in parliament elections by ESM. Why haven’t they resigned? Close to 26 lakh ex-servicemen and over six lakh war widows stand to be immediate beneficiaries of the scheme, which envisages a uniform pension for the defence personnel who retire in the same rank with the same length of service, irrespective of their date of retirement..

                 Today veterans are feeling ashamed of voting them in power as politicians promises has always been hollow.It the solider that make life’s of his countrymen safe, secure and comfortable at our homes by giving their life guarding borders and fighting our wars had become a security risk for this government, at Jantar Mantar.

           Today veterans are questioning the supreme commander role . Do the Armed Forces really require a defunct Supreme Commander as mandated by the Constitution, anymore?? What is our President/ Supreme Commander doing?

                    In the United States, 15 presidents have served in the Army/Army Reserve , 9 in the State Militias, 6 in the Navy/Naval Reserve, with 2 presidents having serving in the Continental Army. In addition, eight presidents served during World War II, while seven served in the military during the American Civil War. That was the kind of military service they did before becoming the President and Commander in Chief of the US of America. No wonder they respect their Armed Forces and their Veterans. 

The Govt does not realize that if such scenes (of these veterans being treated as common criminals) are seen by their children and dependents who are in uniform --- there will be utter mayhem and the very survival of the Country will be at stake. Do any of these netas and bureaucrats have any relatives in uniform??and- And if this dis-satisfaction reaches the men in uniform who are watching the show-- I shudder

In conclusion let’s recollect President John F Kennedy quote for men in uniform

"A Nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces, but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers..."
