Sir with great honour and due respect we want to say that first of all you are a defence veteran. What so ever injustice and isolation is seen towards defence personnel in past you are aware and fully convinced. One thing sir who is suffering more and throwing life like a rotten fruit in young age? Why someone will die leaving his family and near and dear one one in mid sea. Why long demanded OROP is just a polital agenda and we people are deprived of our basic right to live with honour and after sacrificing our life for our motherland. Have you ever thought of this and acts for poor jawan who is no more and family is facing social stigma. Hope you and your govt must introspect it for those poor and disciplined people who gave their full life for this land. Jai hind
