DEAR PEOPLE OF INDIA,
WE ARE SOLDIERs.
1. WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO
YOU AND TO NO ONE ELSE BECAUSE :
(a) WE HAVE PLEDGED TO
PROTECT YOU, AND WE LIKE TO KEEP OUR WORD !
(b). WE ARE SURE THAT YOU LOVE
US.
PLEASE KNOW THESE FACTS.
2. THE GOVT IS
DENYING YOUR SOLDIERS OROP UNDER THE PLEA OF FINANCIAL SCARCITY . THE FOLLOWING
WILL TELL YOU THEIR SCARCITY :
(a) OROP ALREADY EXISTS FOR 100%
OF THE BUREAUCRATS, JUDICIARY AND ALL THE PARLIAMENTARIANS.
(b). OUR PENSION WAS BROUGHT
DOWN FROM 70% to 50 %WHILE THEIRS WAS RAISED FROM 30% TO 50% IN THE
3rd CPC . WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THE GOVT SAVED BY THIS.
(c). IN THE 6th CPC THEY DOLED
OUT NFU - A SYSTEM BY WHICH ALL GROUP A SERVICES WOULD RETIRE AT THE HIGHEST
PAY SCALE -THEREBY GIVING THEM HIGHEST PENSION PLUS OROP. THEY LEFT FORCES OUT
OF IT.
(d). THEY GAVE THEMSELVES ACP -
ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION - BUT AGAIN LEFT FORCES OUT OF IT . BY DOING
THIS AND ALL THE ABOVE THEY BROUGHT US DOWN SEVERELY AND HAVE MADE THE FORCES
LEAST LUCRATIVE AND LEAST HONOURABLE JOB.
ENEMIES ARE HAPPY AND WATCHING THIS GREAT DRAMA WITH GLEE
!.
(e) THEY CAN SPEND
"DONATE" $ 1 MILLION TO MONGOLIA, DONATE 1.25 LAC CRORE TO A STATE
VOTEBANK, LET SCAMS OF LACS OF CRORE IN GOVT , IPL AND BCCI, BUT FEEL '' POOR
'' WHEN IT COMES TO ALLOCATE Rs. 8,300 crores FOR THE BRAVE ARMED FORCES WHO
HAVE BEEN " FORCED " TO RETIRE YOUNG SO THAT THE NATION CAN SLEEP
EASY.
4. ITS NOT
JUST MODI ' S PROMISE BUT A 4 DECADE OLD PROMISE , AN APPROVED PARLIAMENTARY
COMMITTEE ( KOSHIARY ) REPORT , A FAVOURABLE SC JUDGMENT ( Maj Gen Vains ) and
AN APPROVED THING BY PREVIOUS GOVT.
5. WE CANNOT
REMAIN INSULATED MUCH THAT WE MAY TRY IF WE SEE OUR SENIORS AND WIDOWS IGNORED
AND OUR STATUS AND PARITY vis-a- visA OTHER GOVT SERVANTS DISTORTED.
6. GOD FORBID IF
ONE OF YOUR OWN SON or DAUGHTER or RELATIVE IS IN THE FORCES ~~ WOULD YOU STILL
FEEL THE SAME ?? WILL YOU SEND YOUR NEXT GENERATION TO THE ARMED FORCES NOW ??
..
7. WE ARE BARRED FROM STRIKES , PROTESTS, UNIONS ETC -FOR
REASONS OF DISCIPLINE , BUT REST OF THE COUNTRY CAN GET WHAT THEY WANT ANY TIME
BY RESORTING TO RIOTING, RAIL-ROKO etc !
8. HAVE WE EVER FAILED YOU IN PEACE, WAR
OR TERRORISM, RIOTS, FLOODS, EARTHQUAKE ?? JUST LAST WEEK, EVEN
THE SMALL SCALE RIOTS IN GUJARAT COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED BY THE POLICE OR
THE PARA MIL FORCES ( !! ) AND THE ARMY DID THE JOB !!
CAN THIS LAME NATION SURVIVE WITHOUT THE ARMY & THE ARMED
FORCES ?? DO THEY REALLY " DESERVE" A SINCERE ,
LOYAL, and above all, A "YOUNG" ARMED FORCE ?? THEN WHY ARE YOU
SO APATHETIC ??
REMEMBER SALARY MAKES US DO OUR JOB BUT ITS HONOUR AND RECOGNITION
THAT IMPELS US TO EMBRACE DEATH WILLINGLY WHILE EXECUTING OUR JOB.
-ESM OF INDIA
