There is an
incident which occurred in 1995 when John Major was PM of Great Britain. The
moment he heard from an Indian soldier (VC winner of World War II) that his
pension was not updated since the end of World War II, he immediately took
action, sent an official from British High Commission to his house in Haryana
with necessary orders and lo and behold, his pension increased from 100 pounds
p.m. to 1300 pounds p.m. The concerned soldier's lifestyle changed completely
thereafter.
This is
English justice. No wonder they ruled the world.
Will RBI/MoF
learn something from them?
Are we
mentally challenged?
It seems we
are, because even after the announcement of a highly abridged OROP by the
Raksha Mantri on 5th September 2015, the Government has not been able to make any headway in the
actual implementation of that modified parity being interpreted as OROP by the Government. PM's statement that we have five years to implement it, is so far taking
that course, and that too not the true OROP defined by the Koshiyari Committee.
Isn’t it a
shame on the abilities of the Indian bureaucracy or so to say the Indian
Government which so far has displayed intentional disinterest in implementing
it, thus failing in fulfilling a solemn promise made by the Indian Prime
Minister at his very first rally in Rewari in Sept 2013.
May God grant wisdom to Indian bureaucracy and be with the most neglected defence Veterans.
Sir, You correctly said. Surprising the time taken to draft a letter. This is the real difference between announcement and implementation.
