At last the Modi government had to concede the demand of One Rank One Pension for the ex- servicemen.The demand has a history of 42 years of struggle and it was one of the main poll promises of BJP and they were dilly- dallying after coming to power in May, 2014. This provoked the war veterans to start the agitation and it gained momentum with some of them started an indefinite fast at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi. Some of the fasting veterans were arrested on worsening health condition but they continued the fast even at the hospital. So the determination of the war veterans for the sustained struggle brought them the victory.Though there are certain dilutions from the principle of OROP, it is a welcome development indeed.

AIBDPA whole heartly congratulate the war veterans for this great achievement which is the result of their sustained and determined struggle.
