One Rank One Pension demand fulfilled in Budget 2015 – OROP will be implemented before 31st March 2015 says Chairman IESM
One Rank One Pension Chairman demand of
Ex-Servicemen has been fulfilled through Budget as claimed
by Major
General Mr. Satyabir Singh of the Indian Ex-Serviceman Movement.
According to him Mr. Jaitley has fulfilled the promise of the
Governments promise of ‘one rank one pension’.
He says increase in budget allocation for defense is
meant for implementing One Rank One Pension. He further claimed that
Mr. Modi, then the Prime Ministerial Candidates has voiced his support
for ISM in his election rally in Revadi, and now it is accomplished.
After the budget was tabled, the Dainik Jagran
contacted many Ex-Service Officers as well as serving Officers, but none
were able to confirm this. But when Dainik Jagran contacted the
Chairman of the Indian Ex-Serviceman Movement, Mr.Satyabir Singh, his
response was different.
He said at the first look of the budget he felt
disappointed, because he was under the impression that the Government
did not consider the demand of ex-servicemen for one rank one pension.
But, he contacted higher Officials of the Defence Ministry expecting
clarifications from them on OROP. According him, he was assured that the
increase in the budget for defence is only for the scheme ‘one rank one
pension’.
According to Mr. Satyabir Singh the OROP mission is accomplished now, especially after the budget.
He says “Our representatives had met the Defence Minister on 1st of February 2015. Defence Minister had assured us that our demand for One Rank One Pension will be resolved by the Ministry in the Budget, and ‘One rank one pension’ will be officially announced before 31st March 2015″.
