Invitation
Ex Servicemen will Return Medals to President for the Third Time on 14th Mar 2009

Dear Members of the Media,
The Government continues to ignore the demand of Ex Servicemen of equity & justice for grant of pensions. The Ex Servicemen are seeking Pension Parity for the same rank and same length of service irrespective of the date of retirement. This just, fair & genuine demand has not been accepted by the Government. This unreasonable & unjust attitude of the Government has triggered an unprecedented wave across the entire Armed forces particularly the Ex Servicemen who have been compelled to start country wide protest Movement in the name Indian Ex Servicemen Movement (IESM).
As announced earlier the IESM will continue to intensify their Movement till such time their demand of Pension parity is met. Accordingly, the Third Installment of return of Medals to the President will be carried out on 14 March 2009 at 3.30 PM at Rashtrapati Bhawan. The medals from various parts of the country are being received at Jantar Mantar New Delhi the place where Ex Servicemen are on Relay Hunger Strike since 16 Dec 2008. The Ex Servicemen from the NCR will also be depositing their medals at Jantar Mantar between 11.00 Am to 2.30 PM on 14 March 2009. The delegation of Ex Servicemen will take the medals to Rastrapati Bhawan for handing over to the President, the Supreme Commander of Armed Forces at 3.30 PM.
You are invited to cover the event on 14 mar 2009 from 11 AM to 3.30 PM at Jantar Mantar.
With regards,

Jai Hind
Yours Sincerely,
Maj Gen (Retd) Satbir Singh, SM
Vice Chairman Indian ESM Movement
