TO: ALL MY FRIENDS ON THE MAILING LIST....
MY DEAR FRIENDS,
MY HEARTY GREETINGS TO THE RETIREE FRATERNITY ON THE EVE OF PENSIONERS' DAY - TODAY -Ie. 17th. DECEMBER.
IN FACT, DEFENCE PERSONNEL HAVE BEEN OUR TORCHBEARERS WHO FOUGHT RELENTLESSLY FOR THE CAUSE OF THE PENSIONERS AS A WHOLE.
LEGEND CRUSADER COM. D S NAKARA WHO FOUGHT A LONG DRAWN LEGAL BATTLE IS ALSO FROM THE DEFENCE SERVICES…
D.S.NAKARA’S CASE HAS BECOME A “THUMB RULE” FOR MANY JUDGEMENTS PASSED BY THE APEX COURT IN MANY CASES CONCERNING THE RETIREES.
THIS HISTORICAL JUDGMENT WAS PRONOUNCED ON 17th. DECEMBER, 1982 AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY 17th. DEC. IS CHOSEN AS “PENSIONER’ DAY” AND IS BEING OBSERVED BY VARIOUS PENSIONERS’ ORGANISATIONS IN INDIA.
AS PER THE TIMES OF INDIA NEWS OF 04 FEB.1996, IT IS PLACED IN THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORD, AS , BY THIS JUDGMENT 20 LAKHS OF PENSIONERS BENEFITED (IT MAY BE ABOVE (60) SIXTY LAKHS BY NOW)
BY VIRTUE OF THIS FAMOUS JUDGMENT ALONE, WE HAVE BEEN GETTING PENSION AS A MATTER OF RIGHT - BE IT OUR 1616-1684 DA CASE, RESTORATION OF 5 YEAR NOTIONAL SERVICE, 2ND. PENSION OPTION , PENSION TO THE RESIGNEES, 100/% DA, ARREARS ON COMMUTATION.. Etc.
THAT APART......
IN 1973, THE INDIRAGANDHI- LED CONGRESS (I) GOVERNMENT TERMINATED "ONE RANK ONE PENSION" - THE BASIS FOR DECIDING PENSION OF THE INDIAN ARMED FORCES PERSONNEL -- WHICH HAS BEEN IN VOGUE FOR 26 YEARS SINCE INDEPENDENCE, THROUGH AN EX-PARTE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER- SHORTLY AFTER FIELD MARSHAL SHFJ MANEKSHAW RETIRED (WHO HAS BEEN RESISTING THE ILL-CONCEIVED MOVE ALL ALONG), TO DECREASE ARMED FORCES PENSIONS BY 20-40%, AND INCREASE CIVILIAN PENSIONS BY 20% WITHOUT CONSULTING ARMED FORCES HEADQUARTERS.
(HAND WORK OF BUREAUCRACY WHO PLAYED HAVOC AND... IT'S THE SAME BUREAUCRACY WHO ALSO DILUTED THE SPIRIT OF PILLAI COMMITTEE -(PCR,) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BANK OFFICERS)
THIS GLARING DISPARITY METED OUT AGAINST THE ARMED FORCES IGNITED THEIR RESENTMENT AMONG THE RANK AND FILE THAT ULTIMATELY CULMINATED INTO MASSIVE AGITATIONAL PROGRAMMES… (On 15 June, ex-servicemen, despairing of BJP promises, commenced nationwide protests, and hunger strikes - Members of the Ex-Servicemen Welfare Union held a dharna and blocked highways against their long-pending demands including one rank, one pension and others.Even some protestors, who are Ex-Servicemen, threatened to resort to Rail Roko (Stop Trains) agitation).
ULTIMATELY MODI'S GOVERNMENT HAD TO CONCEDE TO THE MOUNTING PRESSURE TO RESTORE THE LONG AWAITED "OROP" FOR THE DEFENCE PERSONNEL. - A SUCCESS STORY....

IN THE ABOVE BACKDROP, I INVITE YOUR ATTENTION TO THE RECENT REMARKS MADE BY OUR HON'BLE FM SMT. NIRMALA SITHARAMANJI IN HER RECENT INTERVIEW IN BUSINESS LINE FOLLOWED BY , HER FURTHER REITERATING THE SAME REMARKS DURING HER INAUGURAL ADDRESS AT THE AGM OF IBA.
THEREFORE, FRIENDS, I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT....
SURMOUNTING ALL THE HURDLES, THINGS ARE MOVING IN PROPER DIRECTION AS ENVISAGED.
THEREFORE, LET US BE CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO SECURE OUR LONG AWAITED PENSION UPDATION AT THE EARLIEST...
WITH THE DEVINE BLESSINGS OF MATHA KANAKA DURGA ...ABODE इन्द्रकीलाद्रि - विजयवाद INDRAKEELADRI- VIJAYAWADA.
“|| यतो धर्मस्ततो जयः ||”IS THE ULTIMATE......
I remain - Yours,
