A press conference will be held at JM by
UFESM ON 18 Sep 2015 at 1200h.
This is to make public the regret letter to
the Honourable Rashtrapati by veterans
who fought in the '65 War and who were
invited by him for the ongoing
celebrations of the Golden Jubilee of the
'65 Indo-Pak War.
The ;letter expresses our inability to
attend any such functions due to the
continuing instrangience of his
Government on the issue of OROP.
It also emphasises on the alleged attempt being made by certain sections of his council of ministers and their subordinates to shortchange the very same veterans in the evening of their lives by bringing in issues that are inimical to the definition as accepted by the Parliament twice over and on which stictures have been passed by the Honourable Supreme Court.
The regret also show cases our concern for the current serving community as certain issues being unfairly introduced would adversely affect the structure of the Armed Forces as also work against all future would be veterans who opt out due to injury, disability or even supercession.
The regert assures you of our concern towards the National Security paradigm that we have guarded over the last 70 years with our lives and limbs. The same National Security that is under threat by certain vested interests.
The Presser will also specify the future turn of the agitation at JM will take hereafter.
You are requested to make it convenient to attend
Col Anil Kaul, VrC
