SCPC: Marshal Arjan Singh Laments

New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Earlier every girl wanted to marry a fighter pilot but now nobody wants to, thanks to the pathetic pay package and lack of respect for the armed forces and their service conditions, laments Marshal of the Air Force Arjan Singh.

Talking about the defence forces being shortchanged in the Sixth Pay Commission, Singh said that the morale of the force has to be maintained.

"Bureaucrats work close to ministers and hence are able to influence them. The people in the armed forces are suffering vis-a-vis the bureaucrats. Lowering their pay and rank will affect their morale," Singh told IANS here.
