New Delhi, May 17
Retired veterans of
the armed forces say they are awaiting three key promises made to them by the
Centre to be fulfilled even as the Narendra Modi-led NDA government is
scheduled to complete its first year in office on May 26.
Maj General Satbir
Singh (retd), vice-chairman of the Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM), today
said President Pranab Mukherjee, while addressing the first joint session of
Parliament of this government on June 9 last year, had stressed on these three
issues.
The President said:
“My government ….will appoint a veterans’ commission; build a national war
memorial to honour the gallantry of our soldiers ...and the one rank, one
pension (OROP) scheme will be implemented.”
Sources in the government said the OROP could be
formally announced on May 26. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, who was in Goa
today, said the much-awaited OROP for the armed forces was likely to be cleared
in a few days.
