The grant of ‘one rank one pension’ (OROP) by the government is nowhere near the definition of OROP accepted by both the UPA and NDA governments and Parliament. The ex-servicemen (ESM) have brought the fact to the knowledge of the PM and FM. Their hunger strike at the Jantar Mantar continues and so do agitations all over the country. A few days ago, the ESM had held a dharna outside the FM’s residence, which was lifted after the assurances given by the minister at the behest of the PMO. The minister has had a meeting with the representatives of ESM and promised to get back to them. The ESM await a reply.
