March 14: Ex-servicemen on Sunday gathered at the Rashtriya Sainika Smaraka to sign a memorandum in their blood demanding the implementation of the one rank-one pension norm and better resettlement. The memorandum will be sent to the Prime Minister.
“We have been requesting the government to constitute a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) on the subject by April 15 to study the subject matter in its entirety and submit a report in sixty days,” said Colonel S.S. Rajan, convenor, Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM), south zone and Karnataka state.
The ex-servicemen have also suggested that the JPC be assisted by a group of military veterans comprising retired officers of the Army, Navy and Air Force. “We feel this is needed as they would be in a better position to analyse issues related to pay, pension and service conditions in the armed forces,” he added.
If the government does not consider their demands, the ex-servicemen are planning to launch a nation-wide fast unto death from October 2 this year.
