Dear Colleagues,
One more veteran, Major IS Jakhar has joined the 'fast unto death' squad. Veteran Sulaiman Khan is now in the eighth day of fast and Veteran Rekh Ram in the fifth day. Capt Om Prakash and Sub Major Sant Ram Dahiya are both in their second day. The police arrived with a doctor today and examined all the veterans. Veteran Sulaiman Khan is beginning to have some gastric problem due to the stomach remaining empty.
Print and visual media did cover the action today. They interviewed those on fast and others. In the evening the TV channel 'Sahara Samay NCR' had a 30-minute live telecast from the battle station. It was a very moving moment when Sulaiman said the he lives in a rented place with wife and two sons, and with Rs 2600 as pension he only eats one meal a day. I wonder what effect it would have on the viewers. But its effect on his nephew who is now an Army man can easily be visualised - he must be seeing his own future with clarity.
Maj IS Jakhar, himself on fast, is holding the fort at the venue.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM ome today.
