The talk with the Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar by the delegation of Indian Ex-servicemen Movement, led by its chairman, Major General (Retd) Satbir Singh, on 6th June, 2015 on implementation of one rank one pension yielded no result. The organization demanded the government two clarifications, a firm date on implementation and adherence to the accepted definition of the OROP. They have decided to start the agitation on June 14 2015 and from June 15 hunger strike accross the country ,if the genuine demands are not met.

Just like in the case of 78.2% IDA merger to BSNL Pensioners, the government is giving assurances repeatedly but nothing in practical against which the defence veterans are on war path. The Modi government make big claims for credible governance and quick decision making. But this is seen only in matters related to the corporates and the rich.
