Brothers
and sisters,
We have seen a lot of discussion in the recent months about the
role of our armed forces and their preparedness. I would like to emphasise here
that our armed forces and paramilitary forces have defended the security of our
country both during war and peace with valour and honour. Our soldiers have
made the biggest of sacrifices, whenever needed. Today I would like to reassure
our countrymen that our armed forces and paramilitary forces are prepared to
face any challenge. The Government will continue to work for modernizing these
forces and providing them with the necessary technology and equipment. Today, I
would like to thank our security forces, who are guarding our frontiers
bravely, from the bottom of my heart. We will continue to make efforts for their
welfare.
Our Government has set up a committee to examine issues relating
to pay and pension of armed forces personnel. This committee will also look
into matters concerning pension of retired men and officers and family pension
being paid to their families. We will take prompt action on the recommendations
of the committee, once they are received.
*******************************
Only Committees and Committees no fruitful outcome is expected from purely bureocratic members Committee...no representation of Armed Forces.
