IESM: Fast for Justice Rally- sixty eighth day

23 Feb 2009
Dear Colleagues,
The contingent from Karnal continues to be in charge of the Jantar Mantar venue.
Court Case
As reported in the media one retired Army officer has gone to Delhi High Court demanding legal intervention in favour of ‘one rank one pension’ and the case is coming up Feb 24. The legal opinion is that at this stage this could have harmful consequences for the overall cause of the ESM. It is learnt that the petitioner is one Lt Col VB Bhanot, EME. He has done so along with 40 other civilians. Efforts are being made to persuade the officer to withdraw the case. Anyone who knows him is requested to kindly use his influence – Veteran Bhanot’s mobile number is – 09953583798 email: vbgullubhanot@gmail.com
Meeting HP ESM
The HP ESM are organising a rally at Hamirpur on 5 March 2009. Four of us - Maj Gens Satbir, Renjen, Jaini and self are scheduled to participate. Similar rallies are also being planned in UP, Punjab and Rajasthan.
Debut in politics
There seems little doubt that entry into politics is the only solution to get justice for the ESM. We should follow a two-pronged strategy:
1. Raise own political party and field candidates. Even if the chances are slim, the foray would be worth it.
2. Those who can get nomination from other parties should do so; aim is to get into the Parliament. In the present environment of coalition governments even a small number of MsP can wield immense influence.
Karan Thapar’s TV Programme
I have spoken to Mr Ashok Upadhyaya, who was the coordinator of the programme. He is examining feasibility of putting the programme on YouTube.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan

Dear Gen Sat Pal Aul,
Thank you so much for your continued support with your camera at Jantar Mantar.
