Dear Friends,
General says to Veterans : BE PATIENT
You all have seen the result of our great veterans patience and discipline.
The OROP declared by our Hon’ble DM is In violation of all laws
Of Natural Justice.
There is total loss of faith and trust now.
Regards
Jai Hind
Senior serving officers,three stars and above,may consider not making any statement on OROP.They have never been asked their opinion or advice by Ministry of Defence.Therefore they need not read the mind of Raksha Mantri and appear to be knowledgeable.What has so been achieved is only because of agitation launched by ex servicemen ably guided by Sat Bir Singh.
Implementation of OROP will not only be welcome by the veterans but it will also be morale booster for the men in uniform as they will be veterans tomorrow. Thanks for every body whose tireless efforts are making us see the OROP happening.
