1. ...DE-GRADATION OF ARMY AGAINST CIVIL [IAS/IPS] <br /><br />1. Army comes to rescue civil authority on their failure in name of aid to civil power. <br />2.The Armed Forces were paid higher Pay & Pension [pension used to be 75 % of pay, as applicable in other countries] now the pension has been reduced to 50%. <br />3. However, this was arbitrarily and without any justification changed by 3rd CPC in 1973. <br />4. The RAJYA SABHA Committee opined that the Govt has TAKEN an ill considered decision, <br />5. Rajya Sabha ATR is still awaited. <br />6. Ex Servicemen discontent is disturbing. Legitimate and fair demand of OROP be accepted. <br />7. Rajya Sabha Petition Committee strongly recommended sanction and implementation of OROP. <br />8.PM/FM/RM/LOK SABHA/RAJYA SABHA all have accepted One Rank One Pension but a Cabinet Secretary has rejected it. Is CS above all the authorities & Govt who have accepted, OROP, such a person is sowing seeds of discontentment in forces. Forces do not have unions, when water goes above level and they revolt, it may be called mutiny. Kindly ensure such a situation does not arise. <br />9. The Defence Personnel have suffered thrice over[Three Pay Commissions eroded their Pay/Pension/Status]; The pension of Defence highest rank has increased only 45 times, that of civil highest rank it has increased 108 times). The Col [Selection]/Brig got mere increase of 30 times. There is just no justification for the same. <br />10. All Civilians will draw the pay of Addl Secretary in 14 years as against Lt Gen in 32 yrs of service by virtue of their service being Organised Gp A Service. <br />11. The Government accepted the recommendations of Sixth CPC and granted the NFU to Organized GP A Services. <br />H] But denied to Defense Services. A height of Degradation of Forces]. In fact, now Sub Inspectors of CRPF/BSF/ITBP too can beat Def Services Offrs when they too will retire with the salary of Addl Secretary/Lt Gen, if they get promoted as Asstt Comdt/DSP in 8 yrs. <br />J] All this will only fuel frustration, disgruntlement and will have a demoralising effect on the Armed Forces Offrs. <br />K] Since Def Offrs will have to work alongside some of the Organised Gp A Services, a disparity of this magnitude will lead to functional problems. <br />L] In some stations, it is already being heard that Civ Offrs have started projecting themselves as senior to top military offrs. <br />M] Such problems will only increase in future. <br />N] Moreover, this issue must not be allowed to linger till 7th CPC for resolution. Else lot many insurmountable problems within Army will set in & command & control aspect will be faced with multiple problems. Disgruntled armies in world resort to mutiny. Thank God our Army will never do so. Hence, kindly be good to Army & look after it. The issue needs a more forceful action by respected PM/FM/RM. <br />O]. Benefits of NFU denied. <br />P]. It not only affects pay/pension, it also affects status. <br />Q]. Today Army comes in aid to civil power. When civil authority fail in performing their duties. These may be earth quake, flood relief, train accident, Asiad, Naxal problem, terror attack, child in well, strike by rail, electricity board, tele services, hospital services & so on list is never ending. <br />R]. Government’s last hope is Army & if you neither give pay/pension, at least put them totally at par with civil IAS/IPS, then you cannot expect miracles from the Army. Nowhere in world poor paid Army has ever won battles/wars. <br />S]. Kindly restore status, give pay, pension not less than IAS/IPS & maintain fundamental right of equality & do not violate article 14 of constitution & fundamental right of equality. <br />S] Thus, immediate need to revise pay & pension. Speedy payment of arrears with corresponding DA w.e.f 1/1/2006. <br />12. Col [selection] should be above super time scale, so also Brig, but in reality it is not so. They are being paid degraded pay & pension. <br />13. I understand Chankya said to his king" your kingdom is doomed if and when our soldier has to ask for his dues".<br /><br />By Col LambaINDIA OFMY DREAMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354654681348443147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937088411451927836.post-58396298343519431542012-07-17T11:34:23.752+05:302012-07-17T11:34:23.752+05:30DIG WHO WAS ONE TIME JUNIOR TO Lt COL
