Dear Veterans
A mail from Subedar Major (Honorary
Lieutenant) Kameshwar Pandey is forwarded for information.
His stark and intense feeling of
betrayal at the confusing signals from RM in the context of OROP, to divide the
ONLY secular, cohesive and and all season functional Fauji community along rank
lines is evident, and shared by the entire Fauji community. This, like ANY
effort at making any distinctions between Fauji rank and file, would have
disastrous consequences for the Forces due to the synergized manner of their
functioning, where one category supports or melds with the other.
As always, the glaring ineptitude of
the MoD in understanding Fauji ethos, values and working stand out in the
diabolical idea of 80% satisfaction, conjured to divide the Homogenous Fauji
community.
Read the mail in trail to get the
drift.
With Warm Regards,
Col RP Chaturvedi,

Dear Sir,
Good evening and Happy New years to all.
It is reported in the news that the defence minister issued a statement saying that he would try for 100 percent OROP but 80 % satisfaction will be assured. On 31 Dec 2014, he stated that OROP will satisfy 80 percent Defence pensioners. This statement of the defence Minister will be demoralizing to the Armed Forces serving as well as retired.
The reported approval of OROP with 80% satisfaction is a total turn around from the statement of no less than the hon';ble PM of the country of a complete sanction of the same.
What does this 80 %
satisfaction imply?
1. OROP for 80% of affected ESM meaning JCO'S & OR and leaving
20% out implying "The Officer cadre". or
2. Agreeing to pay 80% of the sanctioned amount and disallowing
the balance 20%. or
3. Paying in two instalments of 20% in this fiscal and 80% in the
next FY. or
4. Payment to 80% of ESM (JCO';S & OR) in the first tranche
followed by payment to 20% (The Officer cadre) in the second tranche.
Or anything else needs clarification.
In any case of above condition it will cause fissures in
the Armed Forces Personnel and will be highly demoralizing. If it is part of a
well planned effort to DIVIDE the ESM into officers, JCOs and ORs by
implementing OROP in such a way. It is a dangerous plan and will adversely affect
the Army. In my opinion the babus and the politicians
have already divided the country in the name of cast, religion, state, rich and
poor. They should not play the same dirty game of divide and rule with Ex
Servicemen also. A game they learnt from the British and a game they have
mastered.
On retirement irrespective of the rank one has attained in service
all ESM are clubbed in one category and that is as ESM. In view of which OROP
in full measure to all personnel so affected "ONLY" will be
acceptable. In 'NO' other form will it be acceptable. All ESM, particularly
JCO's & OR stand firm and committed shoulder to shoulder with our erstwhile
commanders & leaders the officers of the Armed Forces. Please grant
100% OROP or it will not be OROP.
The IESM members of Eastern UP gathered in Varanasi today and the
above was unanimously agreed to by all present. The attendees resolved to
thwart any attempt to divide ESM. They have already submitted a memorandum
regarding the early implementation of OROP to the PM's office established in
Varanasi. The Rallies of ESMs at Varanasi, Khadsra (Balliaya) and Gahamar are
planned on dates 10th Jan, 11th Jan and 12th Jan 2015 respectively.
The following were the main attendees:
(a) Sub Maj Markandey Singh (member of
Gen Body IESM Gahamar UP)
(b) Hav D N Singh (member of
IESM G B Varanasi UP)
(c) PO Subhash Yadav (member of core Gp
Varanasi UP)
(d) NK Anil Pathak (Co-ordinator
and convener Balliya UP)
(e) CPO SN Verma (member of core
Gp Varanasi UP)
(f) Honry Capt R A SINGH (member
of core Gp Varanasi UP)
(g) JWO BN Yadav (member of core Gp
